Target

Y’all, I swear that Target sign hypnotizes you! You drive by, see the sign, and tell your friend, «Hang on, I just need one item.» Next thing you know, it’s an hour later and you both have a cart full of stuff from clothes, shoes, groceries, makeup, and some stuff from the dollar section. (How did that get in there? Oh well, I neeeeeeddddd it!)
Okay, maybe that’s just me.
The best part about shopping at Target is the Cartwheel app. You can scan any item and it’ll tell you if they offer additional savings. Combined with mobile coupons, and the Red Card, you’re saving a ton of money! They always have great sales and clearances, and their customer service is really great! If you want them to price match an item, just take it to customer service and they will match it for you!
My only complaint about Target is that their fresh produce section is really small, and sometimes pricey. But I usually go to Sprouts for fresh produce anyway.

great place and great service I love how helpful everyone was even at closing time!!!

Best target I’ve been to so far. So clean and organized! They also have a great selection of merchandise and super friendly staff.

I love Target! You can find anything and everything here! They now have self check out lanes.
Tips: don’t forget Cartwheel which I just discovered! You can save quite a bit with the discount hidden there! ;p

I came to this location to pick up some Starwars Legos, while my wife was at work. I like how this place is open during the day, so I can buy toys without my wife knowing. You’re probably wondering… why do you need to sneak around to buy toys? Well, they’re not for my toddler. They’re actually for me. Also, I bought 2 boxes. I found the Lego set on Slickdeals and thought… this would be a great collector item one day.
I placed the order online for them to hold them. After I got an e-​mail saying it’s ready, I hurried over to pick it up. Parking here is kind of a pain, but the store layout is small and easy to get around. I was in and out fairly quickly and got to hide the evidence. Wife doesn’t realize now, but this box of Legos will be worth a ton of money in the future. I just need to keep it from her for the next 30 years and fight the temptation of opening them up.

This target location is okay. It has everything I usually need. They opened up some self check out stations which is nice especially if you only have s few items, it helps not to wait in the long lines. The shelves are pretty stocked and they are clean. My only gripe is the lines can get a little too long.

I love this target! Sure it’s a bit of a bus trip away but it’s worth it! Sometimes I go there with friends to hang out and have lunch after a workout at the gym (across the street from target) and look at clothes and electronics and browse the video games and candy section! Those are my go to areas of the store where I would browse!

The location is ok. I don’t come here often … Generally when they first open to avoid the mayhem in the parking lot. Went around noon on Sunday and it was packed. People don’t know where they’re going they pull out in front of you… People backing out of parking spots don’t watch for pedestrians. Pedestrians walking in front of cars like nothing is coming (common for Irvine — I say this as a long-​time resident) This is seriously one of the worst Target parking lots.

I like this Target. I used to live within walking distance. Now I have to go out of my way to come here, but I do. It’s clean and I like the location. I went after seeing a movie around the corner.

EVERY time I try to go to this location to save myself the drive to the district I regret it. ALWAYS. Tonight was the worst experience I’ve had with a manager or supervisor on the floor. The new debit cards with the chip, I guess the target machines only let you insert vs. swipe. I planned on making 2 separate transactions. My 1^st one went through, my 2^nd one didn’t. The notification didn’t say declined or anything indicative of my card having insufficient funds.
This poor new girl at cash wrap called her manager or floor supervisor over. He comes over and sighs, snatches my card from my hand & does what I JUST did – insert the card in the slot. He even bends it a little bit as he removes it from the slot. He then proceeds to tell me «you need to call the number on the back of your card. It’s not working. Maybe you don’t have enough funds or something, I don’t know.»
Cashier explains I had just made a purchase… He looks annoyed & says «I don’t know maybe they stopped your funding.»
I replied «No, Wells Fargo doesn’t do that.»
Snaps at me «I don’t know what you want me to do its not going to work.» Gives me a look with so much attitude. Gives my card back and walks away.
Whoever that guy was on the floor tonight, I don’t care how much you wanna close. Yeah I’ve worked retail before, that’s not how you treat a customer at a place that’s always been known for good customer service. Never coming back to this location again.

I like this location. It is very clean, and close to a lot of other things. The people there are usually very nice, and it isn’t too crowded whenever I go here. I like that it always seems to be clean, probably because the whole shopping center is relatively new. It is in a very safe area and I never feel worried about going there at night.
They also have the best prices on milk, way better than the grocery store on the other side. I usually stop by when I need miscellaneous things. I trust Target quality products way more than Walmart. Sure, you pay a little more here at Target. However, you get your money’s worth, because the stuff you get at Walmart for half the price will just break the next day, in my experience.
I definitely recommend this location, although I haven’t tried all the locations. But this is a good one.

Convenient TAR-​JAY location, but the plaza parking can be a little annoying with so many people, carts, and cars in all directions. You can park near the side entrance and try to avoid the crowds!
Though it’s not the newest version of Target stores that you see elsewhere, they are well-​equipped with what you need. Checkout is pretty fast and employees are fairly friendly. Since it’s not as big as some of the other stores, it’s actually pretty manageable to navigate around here without taking forever to search what you’re looking for and/​or spending too much time browsing at all the possible fun (and unnecessary) things you could be buying.

There’s two entrances to this Target. I never seen that before and thought that was pretty unique. The target itself is typical. Its structure just like every other target. The customer service is decent here as well.
The best thing here has to be the security. When I went, my friend and I notice this very suspicious individual «pretending» to put some flyers on people’s cars. As I looked closer at him, I notice that he was actually checking to see if the cars were open or not. Whoa, in Irvine too… Shady dude. Before I could do anything, the security guard at the Target already was on it. He eyed the guy and tailed him for a few minutes before approaching him and telling him to get off the complex. Hats off to the security here.
This target just got a whole lot better and safer!

I’ve been going to this Target for all four years of my time at UCI, and while I normally would not want to write a review for a gigantic retail store like this, I just wanted to say that I have never had any issues with employees, customer service, or whatever here. I’ve bought bikes, games, game consoles, cameras, digital media players, clothes, food, and everything else at this location, and I have never run into any hiccups at the fitting rooms or at checkout or even at the «infamous» customer service area when I’ve had to return items that either didn’t work or didn’t fit.
All I have to say is dear lord Jesus Christ, read your goddamn receipts and read the goddamn signs that are all over the customer service area. They have all the information you need to know about any questions and issues you might have. Basic reading comprehension saves you a lot of hassle. If you’re just going to be an idiot and ignore all of the information provided to you, it’s only natural that you’re going to have a «bad» experience — and by a bad experience, I mean an experience in which your outlandish request to apply an expired or irrelevant coupon to a purchase or to return an item whose return policy you have already invalidated is denied for *very* obvious reasons.
If you know how to read basic English (like me) and know how to treat other people like regular human beings (like me), then you will never have any issues with this store. If you’re an idiot who wants to call out employees by name for god knows whatever reason… Well, you’re just an idiot. No, I don’t work here, and I am sorry for anyone who does because they have to deal with such ungodly stupidity on a daily basis. Five stars to you guys.

This Target is consistently full of food that is expired or within a few days of becoming expired. Got to be really cautious. It’s in dire need of attention to detail from management.

This location is not a typical Target store, especially when it comes to customer service. I have had multiple occasions where the employees here are just not knowledgable about their corporate policies. It is as if the employees here are trained to be harsh/​rude with customers so that you don’t want to come back.
These are some employees that you want to avoid if possible:
Lisa, who is an LOD at this location, is very rude with customers. She raises her voice often and is not very helpful. Daniel, the AP, does not know his coupon policy. Maria is not very courteous and is always difficult. Michelle, as I’ve mentioned in my previous reviews, recently was hovering over a cashier as she was helping me with my transaction once she saw I was using coupons. Corporate should really help fix the mentality/​culture of this location as it is a bad representation of what a Target store should be like. It is always interesting to me how the level of customer service at Target stores varies and is not consistent.

Two stars for getting what I needed, minus three stars for the rude woman working customer service who didn’t know their price match policy and in turn began denying the purchase and getting rude with me.
Excuse me? I price match with Targets in OC all the time. The need for a hard copy showing a competitors lower price is pretty much obsolete… I mean since you guys have iPads to confirm prices now and all. C’mon! Our business equals your paycheck. Don’t piss off your customers, especially when the customer is the first to say, «Hi and how are you doing today?»
As far as a Target goes, this one is pretty basic. It’s an older layout. Nice café and Starbucks area though.

Pretty typical Target buying experience! I come here at least once or twice a week and I rarely have trouble finding what I’m looking for.
The employees were helpful in signing a friend up for the 5% of Debit card. I also regularly use Target Cartwheel, the app that gives additional 5% off at the register on select items. Just have the employee scan the barcode on your app!

The return policy the week after Christmas seriously sucks. They literally offered me half price for a gifted new release on Blu-​ray that cost $ 26, since I didn’t have a gift receipt, and it was received from a family gift exchange and the person buying it didn’t request one. I don’t have Blu-​ray but asked the person where they bought it so I could exchange or return, and the answer was Target!
No idea where the CS monkeys (or their computer) got the idea that the lowest price paid was $ 13, since the person paid $ 25 + tax literally four days earlier and the current price on the floor is $ 25 + tax. I argued with two customer service persons, and one on the phone (800 line) before giving up.
Drove down the street, returned the same sealed Blu-​ray to Walmart with no receipt for $ 25 in store credit, which I promptly used. Thanks WalMart! F off Irvine Target!

This store always has super long lines. Why? There are more than 10 check out lanes but only 3 are open?
Why can’t they schedule more checkers? And I understand target is trying to push the target credit card but to seriously ask that to every person and having to here the same monotone spiel of it is annoying. Kudos to the employees having to do that over and over again but once I say no I don’t want one, there’s no point in asking are you sure?
The stars are for the location and the employees not bothering me with useless talk of if I’m finding everything okay– if I’m standing and holding the product, I’m pretty sure I’ve found what I was looking for. Plus there’s a shell right next door– get my items and fill gas, double kill!
