This was just an unfortunate coincidence. The ad was delivered to our store on Monday before the incident even happened. There is no possible way to pull all the ads and have them reprinted and redistributed in one day before their scheduled release.

Guest

the tom tom display has been up in my store 4 days before the incident. Your dot connecting skills are poor.

Guest

I work at target in electronics and we have had an end cap set up with that display over a month, I agree it is horrible that the destination is what it is but lady you should get your facts straight before you go online ranting about something you do not know the full story about

Patrick Nkk

it's beyond sad but I agree with the other commenters, it's probably just a bad coincidence.

Guest

Do you think that Target writes the ad on Saturday and its in your newspaper on Sunday? NO!

The ad was probably written last Monday, published and printed on Wednesday, and stuffed with the other ads and coupons on Saturday and delivered Sunday. The OP has diarrhea of the mouth and constipation of the brain.

Guest

I agree but Im pretty sure that the ad was published well before that awful event happened. Atleast I hope so

Guest

Do you not understand that those circulars were printed before the Colorado shooting? It is an unfortunate coincidence, not some insensitive, deliberate act!

Employee made me wait 10 minutes for 2 minute service.

I was at TARGET and wanted to pay for a Blu-ray. I went to the checkout in Electronics, the employee was helping somebody find a TV. The person the employee was helping was browsing for televisions and was not sure if he was going to purchase one at that time. I waited 5 minutes before the employee looked at me. When he saw me I asked if he could ring me up real quick, I even stated I had a giftcard and it would be very quick. The TARGET employee told me he was busy and to go checkout at the front of the store. I had already been waiting for him for 5 minutes and the people at the front of the store are not always able to open the security case, or it takes them awhile to do so. I decided to wait for the employee to finish helping the other customer. That took another 5 minutes, so I had to wait a total of 10 minutes to be helped. The transaction took no more then 2 minutes for me to pay with my giftcard, *** the security device, and get my receipt. On top of it, when I left the store, the security alarm went off, because the employee had not properly deactivated the security tag. I had to have a security guard check my receipt and merchandise. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. If I would of known what I was going to have to deal with, I would have just shoplifted the item to avoid then entire ordeal.

You mean to tell me that you actually had to wait until the employee was finished helping another guest that was there before you? Regardless of how long you thought YOUR transaction would be, why should the employee stop taking care of the first guest to help you?

You sound spoiled and obviously feel you're entitled to be taken care of as soon as you step up to the counter no matter who else is there before you! Wait your turn or go to the front like you could have done and not had to wait ten minutes for the employee to stop doing his job with another guest to ring up your impatient butt!

Guest

oh boo hoo

Guest

Would you like it if while you were being helped some pushy broad tried to get you helper to have them cash out? If i were the "Helped" I'd be annoyed at your antics.Maybe they'll post about the impatient bunghole that couldn't wait.

Patrick Nkk

WOW you're a loser. I sure hope this story was made up after reading the part of the story where you wanted to steal.

but if it's not, you have problems. so you basically got made at an employee for doing their job. they were with the other customer first, not your dumba$$. like he said, there were registers up front.

if you waiting a long time, that's YOUR fault for not taking their advice. so take a hard look in the mirror and realize how much of a selfish *** you were that day.

Guest

Well are you going to tell me or not?

Guest

Katie I am still waiting for an answer, what do you mean by people are impatient.

Guest

You are lying. I was in the store with you and I had my stop watch and you only had to wait nine minutes fifty nine seconds and 81 mini seconds. If you had waited 29 mini seconds more than you would be telling the truth.

Roberta Ots

Oh No! You had to wait ten minutes?!!!

You mean to tell me that every employee didn't drop what they were doing and push every other customer out of the way to serve you?!?

The horror.... -_-

Guest

You still did not tell me yet, when are you going to tell me.

Guest

Come one I am still waiting, tell me. I have been waiting for a whole minute. Tell me Tell me Tell me.

Coupon issue

We visited a Target in fort collins, we purchase several items, one item was a bath soap with an attached coupon for $1,00 off. No big discount, but worth picking up this compared to other products. We then went to check out and we took the coupon off the bottle and handed it to the clerk. She said the coupon was outdated, we said the coupon was off the bottle we just purchased, we even showed the clerk the bottle, she told us people try and rip them off all the time, we where offended by the statement. Since the coupon was on a bottle they had on their shelf we asked them to honor it, at first the clerk was not going to do that, we continue to ask. One supervisor came over and could not override the system another lady came over and did it. All during this time the clerk continue to argue with my wife. No good customer service at all, the supervisor then asked us if we had any other issues. When we said the clerk was rude and offensive the supervisor was not interested in hearing our concern and asked us to leave. If Target has a customer service training program, then its missing in Fort Collins Col.

I don't get how this anonymous commenter was any help. who really needs training to tell an immature customer no? sometimes, the customers are the ones that need training on how to be mature and how to follow store policies.

Guest

"Told people try to rip us off all the time!"

That was the kicker. Anything else after that is null and void.

To imply that I was trying to steal .. I would have felt the same way.

Guest

Target has NO customer service when it comes to helping its customers. The only training Target employees receive is that each person who walks into their store is there to steal from them.

You WILL be treated rudely and suspiciously, and most times called a thief! That kind of treatment IS condoned by Target management.

Patrick Nkk

like California said, that's the manufacturer's coupon. they don't have to honor an expired coupon.

Guest

I am glad the supervisor asked you to leave instead of giving into another of your temper tantrums. They already gave in to one and they did not have to honour the outdated coupon but they did.

Then when you speak badly about the employee for just doing her job they ask you to leave. She was just doing her job and I am glad that he was more concerned about defending his employee than two grown ups who act like they are still in the third grade who can't read the coupon expiry date. Most likely you were trying to scam them and got angry she called you out on it. Following policy and telling you "no" is not the same as being rude.

When you asked them to honour it were you asking nicely or were you throwing a temper tantrum. I am sure you left your little temper tantrum out of this review. The one you threw when you did not get your way.

I will say this again, it probably won't sink in your thick skull, not giving in to your temper tantrum does not make one rude. Your wife was in the wrong, knew she was in the wrong and she continued to argue, either she has issues or you are a *** and married a child.

Guest

The coupon is placed there by the manufacturer. It's not Target's fault that the manufacturer used a date that expired before the product could be sold.

The only legal recourse for you was to contact the manufacturer for an updated coupon. Instead you acted like a total azzhole to a poor cashier who was only following clearly written guidelines.

And yes, people like you constantly try to rip off lowly stores like Target. You only show how poor you are and likely to steal by claiming (falsely) to be spending a lot of money there.

I bet you're black and you think it was racist as well.

Ordering on the phone!

I ordered on May 23rd rolston Outdoor Cushion Set. Five sets. $247.07, red,/brown/striped. I was told they would be here around the 15th of June. I called today, June 14th, Customer Service told me it was cancelled. They don't know why, blamed it on the computer. Whatever happened, no one ever called me or emailed me that the order was cancelled. I wanted them before Father's Day! I am so angry, I would of bought them somewhere else if I knew it did not go through the computer, what a shame. I am so disappointed and angry! Target you stink!!!!!

I'm seriously just.. not surprised by how weird and *** you are anymore.

I'm 21 and don't live with my parents anymore. yet you seem like the type that either still lives with their parents and spends half of the day online. if not, then you definitely live alone with no goals except to destroy Target.

and seriously? what's up with your odd sense of humor?

and if you're not messing around, then you just have some odd thoughts in that head of yours buddy. and you really enjoy using those smiley faces, it only adds to your *** lonely man in his 50's personality.

Tell her how very, very much you love Target and it makes you very, very mad when someone talks bad about Target. :cry :cry :cry

Don't forget to tell her it makes you very, very sad, too. :sigh :sigh

Your mommy loves you and she probably loves Target, too, just like her little darling!!!! :grin :grin

Patrick Nkk

what were they supposed to do? teleport the items, anonymous?

there was an error in the system.

that has nothing to do with bad customer service. *** weirdo, seriously.

Guest

Target stinks at customer service. They apparently have never heard of the definition of "service".

They continue to show that they have no concern for the customers' concerns and provide no help when you run into a problem.

You would be much better off never dealing with such a one-sided company.

I assure you, this is not an anomaly!! :) ;) :) ;)

Target sold me wrong and dirty product and will not let me return it!

I bought Sonicare Toothbrush as a gift at Target Store in Palatine IL on 4/9/2012. Gift recipient in Japan noticed discoloration on handle and it gave dirty appearance. She returned it to me to take it back to store. When store manager asked me for reason for return, I told him it is dirty. He examined the product and told me the product does not match pic on box which I did not know. Then he told me that he is not taking it back because it is dirty (the reason of return to begin with), it is over 2 months old (should not matter when I have receipt) and the product does not match with pic on the box. He was rude and accusing me for false action by me. I had to talk to 4 people when I called Target Customer Relation. Each transfer took so long also. Then Jim who claim he has no manager above him was also rude. He was practically accusing me of using and switching the product and returning it. I was so upset. I have been shopping Target for long time but now I will go to Walmart instead and tell my friends to do the same.

Jedi Knight Ethan that was just rude you should appologize for you rudness

Patrick Nkk

you tried to return a 2 month old dirty toothbrush? alright then..

and I just love how some people think that they are allowed to control where their family and friends shop. "hey Frank, it's Tom. I know you recently had car trouble and you're taking care of your mom now. you take the bus or a taxi to work and you're trying to save up for a used car.

I also know that you have a short walk to Target to get your mom's prescriptions and to buy food, so you save money instead of taking a bus or taxi.

but Target wouldn't return my dirty toothbrush so I'm going to need you to go out of your way and go to Walmart. thanks."

Guest

Sounds to me like the product was used and you are trying to force them to take it back. How many times do we have to tell you reviews telling you "no" the can't do something is not the same as being rude.

You did use and switch the product, how else would it not match the picture. Something very fishy is going on.

Also you would have the same problem at Walmart if you tried to pull this scam. Also what are you going to do to your friends if they continue to shop at Target, beat them up?

Target card -if you pay it off they lock it for 10+ days

When I've paid off my Target visa, they have locked it, I cannot use it for 10+ days. They told me they were waiting for my bank to process the payment. Isn't that 1-2 business days?-- because that's the time it took Target to take the money from my bank account! I use the card a lot to get the 5% discount by using the card. I was embarrassed in the checkout line REPEATEDLY when I kept getting declined! And this is right after paying them in full. Is that how a regular customer should be treated?

Not helping the handicap

I've taken my Mother who has a walks with a cain and a has a hard time standing into 3 different Target stores to shop. Each time the handicap riders are not charged or they give me one that runs out of power when we are in the back of the store. MOst of the time we never get that far so I ask for a wheel chair. The last two times they made my Mother stand there while they waited on serveral other customers and when they got a break went in the back for the chair. When we got the wheel chair it never had foot pads. After shopping in the store we get to the front of the store to pay and they close down the line in front of us. She will never go back and if we ever do I'll bring my own wheel chair. Target people are not friendly at all and when it comes to the handicap forget it!!!!! Very unhappy!!!

I bet the only reason she brings her mother shopping is so she can get special treatment because of her handicap. Otherwise she would put her in a nursing home and neglect her.

Guest

The electric scooters are a courtesy, not a right. If your mother is that bad, she needs her own.

It's bad when someone uses their age as a crutch.

It's worse when someone uses another person's disability to get ahead. I suspect you probably use your mother's handicapped placard when she's not with you.

Guest

If I ever go to a Target in Dry Ridge, Kentucky and you are there shopping with your mother my friends and I are going to drag race the wheelchairs and electric scooters across Target so your mother has to stand longer. complain about.

Guest

Nope, not exaggerated, just written by someone who thinks because their mother is handicapped they should get special treatment and that the world revolves around them. *** Target for not helping her and her mother and making her wait her turn.

Most likely she only brings mother in the store to get immediate attention and purposely broke her mother's legs so her mother can be handicapped and she can get special treatment. She does seem the angry type though so maybe she lost control and it was an accident?

Or maybe my first theory is correct and it was a quoted accident and she did it to make people feel sorry for. Too much of a coward to injure herself so she injures her old feeble mother.

Patrick Nkk

this story sounds just a little exaggerated.

Guest

This complaint is not about not getting help, it is about having self entitlement issues where you think because she is handicapped she should get special treatment and not allow them to finish helping other customers before her. If she really is this bad that she can't stand for a long time than don't take her shopping. I am sure she would rather stay at home than deal with you.

Guest

Bring your own wheelchair. So because your mother is handicapped basically you expect the employees to drop what they are doing(helping another customer) and cater to you?

You expect special treatment. With your anger I wonder did you beat your mother so bad that she became handicapped?

Guest

Hope you all never need help when your older you will only understand when it happens to you.

Guest

This site is so slow today.

Guest

It's not target's responsibility to provide wheelchairs.

Sure, it is a nice service. If you cordially approached the manager and/or corporate, they would likely respond by improving that nice service.

What an idiotic complaint.

Target ripped me off!

My boyfriend ordered a number of household items online from target.com. When he finished placing his order, it ended up being close to $500. We later found out that not only was the $500 placed on authorization on his bank account, but since the items were shipping separately, each item was charged to his account separately as well. The $500 authorization never left the account, so not only had he paid for the original order he placed, he was also being charged "extra". Target told him that the initial $500 would disappear as soon as the items were all shipped, but unfortunately, some of the items were on backorder. We had the $500 to pay for the order. We DID NOT have the almost $1000 we were being charged. After almost 3 hours on the phone with target.com, we were finally told we were allowed to fill out a complaint, but the people who handled the complaints don't take incoming phone calls and even though she was in the same building as these people, there "was nothing she could do about it". The customer service was horrible. Who places an online order and has any idea that they're going to be essentially charged twice what the amount was? This is absurd! I want EVERYONE to be aware that when a large order is placed on target.com, you better make sure you have double the amount of money in your account to cover it! To make matters worse, the first box of stuff that finally came to our door had about 2 of the items he had ordered, along with some additional baby items (which we NEVER ordered). The toaster oven he ordered was NOT in the shipment and was out of stock online all of a sudden. To top it off, one of his items has still not shipped, nor will we know when it will ship. It's all a load of B.S.!

This is very common practice with debit cards. I don't know why companies do this but they can and do.

Target is no exception. All I can tell you is that this is not unusual in any way and that if you want this to stop use a regular credit card.

The person who served me made a rude gesture using hands

I was at the customer *** in a Target Store at Chatswood NSW to buy a toy. The person who served me looked at me and made a Rude gesture with his hands wiping his nose with a sweeping gesture with his hands. There was no greeting just a hard stare. He did not ask me if I wanted a bag as he did to the customer before me. Instead with a very blank stare the money was taken and after the service he again repeated the rude gesture by wiping his nose with a sweeping gesture with his hands. I do not know this person. I was deeply offended. Think of the health hazard to the rest of the customers. As I left the shop and turned to look at this rude *** I saw several customers who were still in the *** turn and look at me. What type of training do they give this workers?

maybe they were mentally challenged..? who knows but my main guess is he was confused as to why you were buying a toy.

Guest

So is it a health hazard or a rude gesture?

Guest

That did not work. Anyways when someone treats you like that give your own hand gesture.

Don't know how to, let me explain. Extend your arm, then extend your middle finger.

Guest

Instead of complaining about this why not do something such as give this hand gesture to him for treating you badly.

Weirdest experience at a Target

I was in Dallas for the weekend, I was on my way home, I had no idea where I was, I was lost, I stopped at a small community, there was only a target, a couple of clothing stores, a gas station, and a hardware store. I was hungry so I decided to go to Target, it looked like a good enough place to get some quick food. I walked inside, and there were only like 5 other people shopping there. There was also only one cash register. I made my way to the back, where I saw the drinks, canned food, and jerky( they did not have a food court) While I was looking through the stuff, which was all over place, I noticed a young woman following me and looking at me through a tube, I felt uneasy, I said "hi" then she quickly ran up to me said something along the lines of alludah meh or something like that, this man weird looking guy ( I have been describing him as looking like Steve Buscemi except stockier) Came out of nowhere and apologized, because he said it was his daughter and that she had ran off. The woman looked panicked and scared, I figured she was just mentally challenged or something ( I felt weird, because I had just seen the Texas Chainsaw Massacre) well I got a pack of jerky, some canned soup, a bag of chips, a packet of plastic spoons, a cinnamon bun 2 iced teas, some cookies, and a packet of napkins in a basket, ( it felt like a giant convenience store or something, because it lacked many of the basic things you would find at a regular target) I heard screaming coming from behind the freezer shelves, I was alarmed but I remained quiet, because for some reason two of the shoppers were just staring at me as soon I heard those screams. One of them just said really loud while looking at me, but not talking to me directly " Sounds like one of the workers had an accident. I just started feeling queasy, and awkward because the guy was still looking at me while I walked towards the cash register. The cashier did not even have the standard Target Uniform on but the guy standing near the entrance did. He started asking a lot weird questions, while he, extremely slowly, scanned my items. Like " How old are you?" " Where are you from?" "What type of car do you have?" and " Do you have a gun in the glovebox?" the most random awkward questions you could ask a guy. After paying him a $100 bill and finding out he he did not have enough change, I just took the soup, 1 iced tea, the bag of chips, and the can opener, and handed him a $5 and a $2 bill that I always kept under my license. ( the only other bills I had, and they did not have a card swipes. I left hurriedly, relief, I drank the iced tea as I drove, the lack of people on the streets made me feel weird, so I hightailed it out of there and waited till I was 10 miles out back on the main road, to pull over and eat the soup and chips. I opened the chips and after putting one in my mouth quickly spat it out, it tasted bad. I looked the expiration date and it said they had expired 4 years ago. I was mad and agitated, I threw out the chips and the soup.

I put it in my coffee and was everything went blank. Suddenly when I woke up I was in a world like this Target.

I didn't know this site was used for complaints about dreams or in this case, it might be what the guy thought he was seeing while he was on drugs. because how do you open and eat a can of soup in the car? wouldn't you want it warm..?

Extremely Disappointed with Target

I shipped a crib from Target's registry to my overseas address and after six weeks it hasn't arrived. I have called twice and they keep telling me to wait even though we have passed the "estimated arrival date" on my order confirmation. I am due on June 25th and according to Target I need to wait until May 24th until they are able to issue me a refund and re-ship the crib. Thus, I have four weeks until the baby will be here and hopefully will have a crib. I am an expatriate living in Kosovo and finding a crib out here is extremely difficult...

ID required for purchase!

I am 62 years old, why would Target ever require that I show an ID to buy beer? I asked for the Target Manager and was told that this is the Target store policy no exceptions. This is a lack of respect for someone obviously beyond the required age to purchase alcohol. I protest! I love a store asking to see an ID for a credit card purchase, Thank you for protecting me. However this is NEVER asked for at Target, just swipe a card, it can belong to any one. No Target store policies safeguarding your financial security. All of you that are over 40 lets show Target with our purchase power stop buying at Target, consumers do have the ability to make changes if we support our rights.

If it's a major pain in the b**t for cashiers and a major pain in the b**t for the customers, and since they are in the business to sell items to customers, WHY IS IT SET UP THIS WAY????????? :x

D U H !!!

Guest

As a recent former Target cashier...it's a major pain in the *** to ask older people for their ID...however, Target's registers have a built in ID check on certain stuff that you need to be old enough to buy. You literally can't bypass it, you either scan the ID - which reads only the birthdate, or have a supervisor come and type in their passcode to verify that you checked the birthdate.

where i worked if an older person didn't have their id, the supervisor just did the override with any old birthdate that would work.

Guest

Asking to see an ID doesn't offend me, but SCANNING it? :x

That's beyond s t u p i d and s u c k y!!

Guest

David Perry-

I know exactly what you're talking about, the Coca-Cola incident had a messed up barcode, and kept ringing up as ID necessary. Cashiers in my store were told DO NOT ask for IDs, rather call someone over to fix the problem.

Since the cashier *did* ask for your ID, chances are that the cashier was not notified of this problem, or they were from the sales floor and were up for back-up cashier, and still had no idea this was going on.

Guest

My ID was requested to buy a tiny tube of waterproof glue. The little girl at the register told me that "People do bad things with glue." Huh???

Guest

"So WHY did I have to show ID to buy Coke Products? "

Most likely because because the coke products you were referring were products to make cocaine and not the soft drink.

You are not returning because they are taking steps to protect you and those around you. Cry me a river.

Guest

So WHY did I have to show ID to buy Coke Products? 3 12-packs and they had to scan my ID? Never going there again...

Ruined My Shoes!

I was shopping in my neighborhood Target store with my children. I passed an end cap with air fresheners on sale so I stopped to get some. As I picked up one of the air fresheners, a bunch of items came tumbling forward as if someone had emptied their entire cart on the shelf. One of the items, an almost black colored nail polish, rolled off the shelf and hit the floor covering my brand new Nike Air Max sneakers, which were white and cost $160 and the bottom of a brand new pair of Nike sweat pants. I went to the manager who took pictures. I also took pictures and had me fill out a form. After a few days of not hearing anything, I called the number on the form and was very ignorantly told that I needed receipts for my ruined items which I never keep and that it would take 30 days to hear back. I was also told that they would estimate how much my clothing was worth. They had me send my pictures that I took myself, which were in the Target store. And even from the pictures, you can see my sneakers were clean as a whistle and had no wear on them. Some of the pictures were taken with the bottom of the sneaker showing so you could see the bottoms weren't even worn the slightest bit. I finally receive a phone call in March of 2012. Mind you, this happened in the beginning of October of 2011 with an offer of $75. I was told, when this first happened, that if I contacted a lawyer that I could sue them and get way over what my items were worth but I just wanted was I was out. After having to wait all this time and being hit with such an insult of $75, I wish I would have sued them. I didn't accept the offer. I'm trying to figure out what I should do at this point.

Whether you are lying for a free pair of shoes or whether this actually happened as you claim, unfortunately stupidity does not cover the damage to your shoes. Not their fault some other customer left the polish open. You should be glad they are giving something for your stupidity.

what you need to do now is calm down. next time, carefully take something from a shelf instead of messing with something unstable if you see that it is.

and also, I see what Jedi Knight Ethan said. if that's the case, the original poster just has problems.

That is exactly what is iffy about this whole thing wtf. How many companies are you going to sue for the same thing? Seriously you should be glad they gave you $75 for your scam.

This person is lying the exact same thing happened at Kmart, and Walmart. He most likely poured the polish on his own shoe, or one of his children did it accidentaly and he is hoping that Target or one of the other stores will pay for it.

You really think that you could sue them for "way over" what the items are worth?!? You and the individual that gave that advice are delusional!!

Good luck finding a lawyer who would take a case for a couple hundred bucks!! Hahahaha!! Seriously?!?!

For future reference it isn't a good idea to take advice from people while you have your head up your ***. It's hard to hear exactly what people are saying.

My shoes got dirty :cry :cry :cry :cry :cry

Way to save the receipts for items you obviously can't live without. Nice one. NOT

It's your fault you didnt keep your receipts. Seriously, who buys an expensive item and then throws away the receipt?

Target in Staten Island double charges and doesn't care

Went to the Target in Staten Island and was charged twice for an item that is $14.99 + tax. Unfortunately for me, I realized this after I got home and I contacted Corporate thinking they would resolve but I received a canned response that the matter will be reported to "Leadership". So, what does that mean? I still didn't get refunded for the double charge. I suggested they can refund me via a gift card and they completely ignored my request and didn't even offer another resolution. It will be a long time before I return to Target. I guess they need the $15 more than me. Buyer Beware: check your receipt before you leave the store; don't trust that the cashier has done their job correctly.
