Target

been coming here for a year and a half. they never seem to have things in stock. the parking lot is always so crowded and the store was probably the most outdated target we’ve been to. but with the new change, it’s pretty nice. they still need to work on training the cashiers a little more though (customer service and bagging). my husband and i dislike it when they try to stuff everything in one bag and make it so heavy. at least balance it out using another bag. and when they aren’t able to scan a product, they clearly show their frustration and tell you about it. i remember one time, one of the cashier started pounding on the product itself trying to scan it. i should’ve complained then since she was pounding on an item i was purchasing. every 2 – 3 weeks or months, the prices goes up. i remember shopping at the hopkins target for over 4 years and they HARDLY had a price increase. shopping at this target, the prices has increased so many times and up to $ 1 to $ 2 more within a year and a half on some products. crazy! there have been times where we would make the drive to go to the hopkins target but for now, this is the target we’re going to. with the new change, most of the employees have been more helpful with helping you find a product which is nice.

At first when we started going to this store, we were thinking, wow, this is it? This is the biggest target we’ve been to in the twin cities yet this is all the items they carry? It’s so outdated and it’s so hard to find things BUT with the new update, it’s a world of a difference. It’s a big change. It’s now one of the better looking target stores there is. The great thing is that they have self checkout lines now. We haven’t seen that yet at any other target stores. That’s a plus.

This target is very outdated, but that’s not a problem as it brings back my memories of the 90’s. Tonight, they seemed to be a little out of stock on the items I needed, but I understand that happens. I did however get a new Bluetooth speaker, so it more than made up for the stocking issue. Will I be back? Probably for the nostalgia.

Today I was in target and found a movie I wanted for 4.75. At the BBC heck out it rang up for 12.99. I went back to the end cap to clarify the price and I was correct, I found a sale associate Joe and asked him to verify the price for me. It ended up that the dvd blue ray combat was 12.99 but the tag was in the wrong spot. Joe Wales me to Customer service and I ended up getting my 8 $ back and only paid 4.75 for the movie. Thanks target for the great customer service.

I once spent 30 minutes here — helpful employee in tow — searching for melba frickin’ toast.
But, the employee was still friendly. At this particular Target, there is, in fact, an abundance of helpful employees. Like, I’ve literally never had someone be scowly or surly toward me at all, which is kind of rare in the retail world.
Pretty standard issue Target stuff, so let me break down my stars.
* — Helpful, friendly employees that go out of their way to help you find obscure things (and don’t just give up when they can’t find it.)
** — This Target is always clean. Even when it’s slushy, snow, or icy outside. The floors aren’t slick, they aren’t dirty, and I’ve never found anything questionable in this Target. (I found a half-​eaten chicken leg once at another Target, so this is, indeed, star-​worthy.)
*** — Good parking — the lot is large, but because it is more horizontal, you’re always relatively near the door. And it’s safe — it’s in Minnetonka, for goodness sakes.
**** — I can always find what I need at Target. Groceries? Check. Saran wrap? Check. Toilet cleanser? Check. An iPod? Done-​zo.
Only one star missing because honestly, Target, I think you could have reacted better in the recent identity theft thing. I snapped up your RedCard with all the lovely perks (5% off? YES PLEASE!) but then my identity got snagged, and that’s a bummer.
Overall though, great Target experiences await here.

Simple it’s NOT Walmart!

It’s a Target, like any other Target. Nothing really standout about this location other than it’s less than a mile from my apartment. On the plus side, it’s not Wal-​Mart.
