I have shopped at this store for eight years. It has most often been a good experience. Today, I was shopping for school supplies with my children in tow. My youngest, who recently turned two, began to have a temper tantrum in the center aisle. Having raised a number of children, I followed what is the generally accepted parenting advice of ignoring a tantrum until it is extinguished. I stood 20 feet away and browsed clothes with my older children. I claimed my son when people looked in askance about his behavior and apologized for his noise to other customers. I even had light conversations with lovely customers about their child-rearing experiences and how tantrums go with the territory. His tantrum went on for about five to ten minutes when I was approached by the store manager. He was kind enough, but let me know that he had received five complaints about my son and that he wanted me to do something about the situation. Mortified, I collected my son and my children. As I moved toward the checkout line (my son still screaming as I had given in to his behavior and, thus, taught him that tantruming is an effective way to get results), I was asked to expedite my check out by going through the self-check line by one of the cashiers. I refused self check given the screaming, writhing child in my arms and the totally humiliated older children by my side. With over a 100 small items, it seemed a very insensitive request. Target is a family store and there have always been screaming children in the store when I have visited in the past. I was there at 9:30a.m. in the morning and the store was relatively quiet. Having spent thousands of dollars in this store over the years, I will not be returning. I will also be letting my friends with children know that they should expect to be humiliated and encouraged to leave the store should their children misbehave. A more compassionate response from the staff would have been greatly appreciated in what was already a difficult situation.

I visited this Target store today, Saturday, July 15, 2017. I had two goals: use the restroom and find my son a paintball gun. Entering the store, I looked to the right and saw that a sign was up indicating that the restrooms were closed. Ok, so I went to the Sporting Goods and realized that there are no paintball guns here. No big deal. I returned to the front of the store to purchase gum and a soda. The lines were long and I waited for self checkout. The self checkout register would not recognize the pack of gum I wanted, so an associate came over to help me. I looked up and noticed that there was a camera and a screen showing the customer (me) at self-checkout. I did not authorize the store to use my likeness, and there were no signs upon entering the store notifying me of the self-checkout image use process. The associate took me over to an open checkout and rang me up manually. Afterwards, I returned to the restrooms to see that they were now open. I was horrified to find two piles of feces that had been covered up with toilet paper and stomped on. Were the restrooms not just closed for cleaning approximately 5-10 minutes ago? I shall never shop at Target again.

I have shopped here over the years but lately I am interrupted several times asking "can I help you find anything"... ugh... I end up losing my train of thought or give up on the thing I was considering buying with the unnecessary questions, and end up going somewhere else to purchase them.. They have plenty of people that you can ask a question if you need to... I know they probably think this tactic is helpful but, I feel it is a disservice... Im sure Im not the only one who feels this way... Its the same reason I dont shop at Buckle anymore... shopping is a relaxing experience and I appreciate knowledgeable staff when I have a question... I hope they consider my comment as my intention is to help... I usually find lots of things there at fair prices but would appreciate more time to shop with less interruptions...

(Originally posted on Yelp 7/16/16) Not much to say, really... Ive been there a thousand times over the years, but I wanted to give this review an honest walkthrough just in case anything relevant might have popped up, and... - The ultra-trashy slop stop "food" dispensary that was once immediately inside the front doors has been gutted in favor of a Starbucks. This is a vast improvement - Since the asinine remodel of the mall in general, theres no longer access to anywhere else. But this isnt the fault of Target So yeah. A little bit of everything. I like it fine, I suppose. :)

Recently I found out that the CVS Pharmacy at Target is where you can get a 90 day supply for the cost of a 30 day supply elsewhere. Your Doctor should write, fax or call in the prescription for your medication to be given in 90 day quantities with 4 refills(1year). This is a great way to save costs on medications that you take on a long term basis. The staff is friendly and helpful, as well as, quick to fill your prescription. Also, if you get a flu shot there, you will be given a $5 gift card to use anywhere in the store. Cant beat that!!

Their prices are fine/alright but they do not make you feel especially welcome. I ride my bike everywhere therefor in have a back pack which is tiny, and they follow me everytime Im there from department to department rack by rack Isle by isle. If I was a theif wouldnt they have caught me by now? Its in a level of harassment at this point and I go out of my way to w11th where this generally doesnt happen to me.

The pharmacy is definitely understaffed. I usually pick up my prescriptions here but when I went today they told me that my prescription was at the store on 11th ave. I drove all the way out to 11th ave and that store didnt even have my prescription at all. This gateway pharmacy is unprofessional in my opinion and Im never fully satisfied when I pick up my medication there.

only one register open . line on 4 people. 4 Target employees standing near by. I was directed to self check out so I wouldnt have to wait in line...i didnt want to check my self out, a lot of people dont. They should have opened another checkout since they were all just standing around. Not best customer service.

Worst customer service I have ever seen. Had to deal with a manager named Laurie who was a snobby and was obvious the customer doesnt come first. I was told on the phone that they would return my item and when I get there they wouldnt. Waisted my time and I will never shop there ever again. F for customer service

Prices are a little bit high, limited selection of food products. Customer service and staff are ok , but the self checkout machines are annoying! They keep on telling you to leave the item in the area and I cant even bag until I finish paying.

Chain store just like the rest of them. Every once in a while I have to shop in them as they drove out of the locally own. Its clean and you can usually find help is you need it. But try to buy local if you can.
