Just had to share my experience Ive never been treated so poorly by store employees in my life. Im a female teenager, and me and my boyfriend went in to this Target location one night after eating at golden corral to kill time before my parents picked us up. So we were just strolling thru the aisles browsing, when we noticed a a regular dressed man following us. Like alot, every corner we turned there he was. Every Time I looked back there he was. Although I will admit this was not the best idea, after having been followed for about 20 mins by this guy I shipped out my cellphone and discreetly took a short 10 sec snapchat video of him following me. Because I didnt know if he was an employee or not, it was creepy. We continued browsing and all the sudden we were approached by the man saying "If you dont delete that video you took of me Ill call the police and have them delete it" and was EXTREMELY rude and hostile from the get go. He said we had been following HIM? And harassing him and that it was illegal to record Target employees. BUT WE COMPLIED, deleted the video and he informed us we were banned for the night (despite being cooperative). We turned to walk out the door (as we were already right near the exit) and then he starts ESCORTING us right behind us as if wed just been caught shoplifting. Ill admit this REALLY angered me, considering all in all we didnt REALLY do anything wrong other than record him and he was treating us like we were thieves or something. And I did tell him off a little, and gave him a piece of my mind as we walked out the door (which maybe I shouldnt have). But I didnt make a big scene I just made a few comments as I was being escorted out and banned for the night for recording him. THEN, TO TOP IT OFF, once we leave and are walking down the shopping strip off the target property. Then I turned my head and noticed this red car following us down the parking lot. THIS PSYCHO (I assume hes the Loss Prevention Officer) left the store and was following us OUTSIDE IN HIS CAR AFTER WE COMPLIED AND LEFT AND DELETED THE VIDEO. And he was on his cellphone. And a few minutes later, 2 police officers showed up because apparently he called the police. Respect the the cops that responded, they were SO nice and clearly understood our perspective. But the man in Target ended up banning us forever. (And he tried to imply he had caught us shoplifting there before that same week which was an outright lie) Im permanently banned from this store for recording someone who was following me, deleting it when asked, then left the store when asked, but because I made a few comments as I left I guess. I would not recommend ever going to this Target Location unless you want to be harassed by their psycho Loss Prevention Officer.

My recent visit to this Target was absolutely unacceptable and insulting. After being told that there were three of an item being sent to this store I came to the store early to wait in line for its release. I managed to be third in line, just barely making the cut. An employee came up to the group of us waiting in front of the store and stated once again that there were only three systems available. The store opened and we happily walked to the electronics section where we were informed that they only had one system available. After a number of us obviously disgruntled customers asked them to search for the full three systems guaranteed to us by multiple employees over the phone and in person they manage to scrounge up a second system from some mysterious backroom. I attempted to explain my frustration to them and offered them a solution that at least would cool my frustration, calling the long gone employee that had come to us and told us about the three systems to ask him if he misplaced a system or had simply been incorrect. That was all I wanted, some explanation for the lies. Instead they attempted to buy me off with a cheap 3 dollar apology gift card which in 20-god-damn-15 obviously buys nothing of value and is only a pathetic attempt to get me to buy something else that I did not wait in line since 6 in the morning for but with the equivalent of a pack of gum knocked off the price tag. After a minute or two of asking to speak to higher management or for the man in front of me to call this employee for some simple answers during which I never once raised my voice I was told that they were going to have someone escort me out of the building if I didnt buy something right then. I finally gave up, too utterly insulted and mistreated by the smug electronics manager and the other employee near him to stand to be in their presence for a single second longer. I left, and my blood is still boiling as I type this. I will never come back to this target. I would suggest that anyone reading this not go to this target but I know that obviously this will have little to no effect on your consideration. No one will read this, and in all honesty my situation was probably a unique occurrence. 99.9% of everyone that has ever been alive to visit a target and done so went in, grabbed what they needed, perhaps some even asked an employee where something was located, then left. But if you are EVER required to go to a target in ANY context that will require you to deal with these people for any longer than a few minutes I have to say avoid this place like the plague. They do not respond well to reasonable requests that go beyond typing in an item number into the computer and you leave with a beyond sour taste in your mouth.

Easily the worst Target in the Triad (and that says a lot, because there arent any good ones). Their return policy is a sham. Their Mall Cop might as well be a Black Panther (if he isnt already). NEVER buy anything that costs more than $30. God forbid you try to return or exchange it and you might as well have your mugshot taken and bend over and cough. Customer services job is to find ANY excuse to NOT pay out or discount. And that promise on the back of the receipt isnt worth the paper its pre-printed on. There is a hidden list of brands that are non-returnable (depending on your skin color). I was denied a non-receipted exchange because of the hidden brand/over certain value/3 other excuses restriction. Asked a black friend of mine to attempt the same exchange 2 days later and it took under 2 minutes.

Only second to the Highwoods Boulevard Target. Grocery supply is frequently out of stock. No Starbucks at this location, so youll have to go next door to the Harris Teeter to get your caffeine fix. Next time you go, check out the parking lot by the Steak and Shake - if you see a minivan or two, you can bet that its Moms from MICIT, an online private Facebook group that sells stuff to a small network of vetted members. Lawndale Target is their meetup location of choice due to its central location, well lit parking lots, and lets face it, prime location right next to a Target!
