SLOW THE *QUACK* DOWN IN THE PARKING LOT. You're going to drive over a decrepit pigeon, and that's just shady. Slow down, and be as patient as you can be. Your blood pressure will thank you in the long run.
This is "Compton." Too scared to come during the day or night even with a cop car on display, or a sometimes there security guard inside? Then, head somewhere booshie where you'll be greeted like a Disneyland guest. Here at "Compton Target" we have a diverse socioeconomic class, multicultural, racial, ethnic clientele.
And WOW there are lots of clearance items from bedding, stationery, random things that you shouldn't buy yet still do because someday someone will ask for it, oh wine and beer. Fully stocked and pretty damn good produce section.
*Returning items runs swiftly. Customers who are unsatisfied with makeup can return it with original receipt. There are no foundation testers, so research beforehand. Take the risk. Purchase rather than inconsiderately opening a package and testing it in the store. Opened packages are unsanitary, and that's just shady for the individual that finds that last item in stock opened, so be courteous. PLEASE. Research on return and store policies for particular items BEFORE purchase.
*The pharmacy is the best I've ever waited on. The pharmacist and techs are nice. If it's busy I like that they acknowledge the waiting customer, and try their best to swiftly yet politely assist their current customer.
*Checkouts generally run really smooth. Randomly there are only 2 checkout stands open. Freakin' TWO, but when Target sees a cluster *quack* they are usually on it quickly.
*Clean restrooms (I like those powerful hand drying jets) I peeped in the men's restroom and it appeared clean. Can't remember if there are changing stations for the tatter tots.
The best time to come is during the morning, lunch-hour, or late at night near closing time when there's fewer encounters with strange peeps (like neglectful parents, unruly children jumping in front blocking path, or taping your pompi with a cart, or random peeps with a fugly starring problem). Coming during other hours is hectic, mainly because of the above mentioned characters. The staff is generally friendly and helpful (some associates may be new to working in general, so be nice. They may not know the answer to your needs, nor do some know proper protocol to handle those situations. We all learn, peeps). Ooo! And there are a number of tall handsome Black, White, Hispanic/Latino men working here (I have yet to see an Asian/Pacific Islander man work here).
Remember that associates are human, so if you ever get a curt response know that the behavior generally isn't permanent, and neither are them. This is a pretty damn good Target that I frequent. It's not 5 star worthy for peeps that like things precise. If you're looking to be treated like you're in Disneyland, then sorry go elsewhere. This Target won't meet those needs... ever. read more
