target saved the day when i had to pick up some items that were unintentionally left off my packing list for my trip to san diego. i remember looking at my swimsuit, hanging on the rack, and then totally forgetting to put it in my suitcase. i also remember thinking that i may want to bring some pain meds, just in case, and again, neglected to grab it on the way out. fortunately, target took care of all these needs for me, as i was able to purchase a 2-piece swimsuit at a great price since i was lucky enough to come in on "buy one get one 50% off" day...which meant that one piece of the bikini was full price and the other piece was half, score! and a short stroll down the pharmacy aisle led me to the much needed tylenol since my lack of hydration in the warm summer heat was giving me a bit of a headache. since i was there, and had a fridge in my hotel room, i decided to purchase my favourite yogurt, fage greek non fat plain yogurt, and a box of fresh raspberries to eat with the yogurt. i love that target is everywhere and that they continually have the selection of goods that i need. thank you, target! read more

The employees at the customer service area all have such sour attitudes. I am so sorry you have to price match my items. And I'm so so sorry I decided to return something? Everything you do annoys them. Which annoys me, because that's your job??? Not only that, but many of the employees have no idea where anything is. I just really don't like this target. Please go to the isle with light bulbs and lighten up.. If you even know where that isle is. read more

Can I give this Target a negative star? The idiotic employees here and their equally stupid managers make mouth breathers look like Stephen Hawking. TWICE I have come here and the barely-functioning-with-daily-life-skills cashier's didn't notice big items on the cart and forgot to ring them up. When I'm trying to bag my own,items so it doesn't take an entire night to get my items checked out. Then turning to my holiday turkey and saying, "oh, that's yours?" No genius I'm just the only one here. Wow, get your act together Target. read more

The only store to have black tank tops at reasonable prices. They also have the best shoe polish at a reasonable price.

This Target is always out of stock for the things I need. It is also dirty, carts of merchandise all over the place. The Target in Santee is much better. read more

I heart Target. I have a hard time going into a Target and come out only with the thing I went for in the first place. I always find other things I "need". Great location with easy access to the freeway and Parkway Plaza. read more

I've always loved Target and it's even better with the cute little grocery store in it with such low prices. Very convenient. Sad to see the little cafe closed down though. My significant other bought three tee shirts here and all gorgeous and reasonably priced. He needed some nice tees for the summer. Store was clean and employees helpful. I found everything I was looking for. read more

I am in LOVE with this target location! I went to this location today to exchange some tanks for some other ones and the ladies in the dressing room department and exchange were SO helpful. The vibe of this target was amazing all the other employees were so friendly as well! I will definitely be returning to this target! Everything is so organized and I feel like there is so much more at this one than other targets! read more

I used Target's online service for store pickup & used my $20 Gift card online. Order # 1022107047269 Picked up my order at 10.35 AM today via the pickup area. The customer service representative stated that the Gift card was applied to the bill. IT WAS NOT! (I only noticed after leaving the store), so I spent 10 minutes of waiting on hold to get this number 1-800-440-0680 & waiting another 20 mins for a human to help resolve the issue. To be honest, I don't like leaving negative reviews, I gave them a chance to try & fix the issue but I don't think they really care. The fact of the matter is that they did not honor the $20 Gift card even after verbally stating it & now since the Gift card was used online, it is no longer valid. So basically, scamming a customer out of $20 = to a 1 star review. read more

I ordered a gift card on line for a friends wedding on November 18 th. The gift card was suppose to be delivered December 2 nd to their home. Dec 12 th arrives and still no gift card received by the bride. We call Target gift registry customer service and speak with two separate people and are on the phone for 52 minutes. These people are no help and offer to send out another gift card that will take 7 to 10 business days to get there. We say no, just give us a refund for the gift card. They said gift cards are not refundable but they will see what they can do. Utterly ridiculous and frustrating. I will NEVER order another thing from Target. They have gone down hill big time. read more

Yelp 100 Challenge This Target is the more neglected of them but I like it. It didn't get crazy busy inside and when it dies they actually open up lanes to accommodate. The staff is pretty helpful they seem to have great patience because I have heard some people just act rude for no reason. The store isn't as big as others so they don't have as much as other stores but overall it's pretty good. Pharmacy Starbucks new lanes grocery department not to bad. If your looking for everything than go to Costco. But this target is pretty good. read more

Apparently Target is adding groceries to their wide variety of things to sell. At this particular Target Store, April 18th is the big day. Even more of a reason NOT to go to walmart. If you dont know already, for every Reusable bag you bring in, you get 5cents off your purchase.... sure doesn't sound like alot, but places like Ikea, don't even give you a bag... and if you want a plastic bag they charge you 5cents. read more

I was very disappointed when one of the employees wen around telling people that State Law does not allow them to sell alcohol on holidays. This employee was largely mistaken and upset a good amount of people, FYI nobody had asked the employee about alcohol she just kept shouting it up and down the line for the Black Friday Sale on Thanksgiving. Having worked in a retail for 6 years, I knew the only restricts on time of selling alcohol is between 2am and 6am. The employee was very unprofessional in how she addressed the crowd, and on-top of it lied and upset many people. Proper training of employees working with the public is much needed. Another issue, I followed the directions of an employee on how to get in line for the check stand, which included winding up and down several empty isles to get to the last person in line. I got maybe an isle and a half away and another employee pushes the makeshift line divider and blocks me into an isle to let a group of people cut the line. This put myself and maybe 4 other groups of people about an isle farther back in line. The employee then proceeded to yell at me that I need to follow the path to get in line. I was following the path and could not proceed any farther as she was blocking the path with her body and the make shift line rope thing. I asked her to move so I could continue going the path in the line, she proceded to continue yelling at myself and the groups of people behind me. We had all followed the line, and continued following it to the cash registers. This is not the first time I have had a negative experience with this Target. read more

I love this target I can ways frond what I need and sraff is great always giving my kids stickers and stuff. I just wish they didn't sell out of garlic bread so fast read more

So I've heard great things about Target's vegan selection, and decided to check this one out. Not only couldn't I find anything vegan (even products I'd found at other locations), but when I asked for help finding some, the employee (unfortunately didn't get his name...) who "helped" me argued with me about veganism! I'll not be coming back here; this is the first Target I've had such an awful experience at- what a waste of time and space! read more

VERY RUDE. I tried on a jacket in front of a mirror. There was a long paragraph of a sign on the mirror but I have dyslexia so could not follow along. I understand during COVID times that things should not be touched and that's what I assumed the sign said. A saleswoman yelled at me in a rude manner to not try on the clothes. I politely asked if a jacket was okay to try on since its over the clothes I was wearing. She continued to bark at me and told me to read the sign on the mirror. I was shocked and disgusted by her quick reaction of anger. read more

Very sketchy store and the employees here are very rude and don't know how to treat customers. I have been to many targets and all employees have very good customer service skills but at this target the employees seem like they just want to argue and create a scene. Very disappointed and I would suggest to avoid this store. read more

This is my store, my #1 store in the whole wide world haha not Nordstrom or Neiman Marcus nooo its Target and this target in el cajon is the perfect place for me and my babie. I can find lots of goodies from pjs or a scarf always a nice gift for that special friend. Me and my daughter shop for great deals on clothes they put their clothes on sale right away its always nice to find something in Clearance and on your size, now that they sale food and fruits I go more often why not grab a blouse when you go buy a gallon of milk. haha read more

Came in a few days ago to pick up an order made online . I got in the "order pickUp" line behind a lady who was there waiting. . Once she was helped and left, I noticed a sign that said to get in the regular line for returns and exchanges. . I approached on of the team members and explained to her how I had been waiting and just noticed the sign and asked if I had to actually get in the line, mind you the line was LONG. . She said someone would be right with me, I only had one thing to pick up which wouldn't of took longer then 3 minutes at most. . Instead of helping me she went on to help others. . Another team member came up to me and asked if I had been helped, I explained what was going on and instead of helping me, she opened a register and went on helping the line. . Thankfully the next man in line that seen I had been waiting told them to help me. . Literally took a minute to scan my barcode and get my item. . Definitely didn't feel valued or priorities at all. . read more

It's a pretty decent Target. Lots of items not in stock, however. Employees were very helpful and informative. Easy getting in and out of here relatively quickly and is within walking distance of my apartment ( when I was living in El Cajon, at least ). Overall, it's a Target- they are all generally the same. Happy shopping! :) read more

I wanted to express my disappointment and embarrassment from my experience at the Target location in Santee on 1/15/2019 . I went online to order the new iPhone, as it advertises a $100 gift card when activating a new phone (not a new line). I made it to where I can go there after work to activate it and get the gift card. The woman in the Target tech department was very helpful and super nice. She was helping me and another costumer at the same time, as she had two computers. We ended up working together for about an hour and half. The woman next to me went to pay first, and this is when the Target tech saw there was no gift card. We looked more into it and finally saw it says new line after you zoom in and click a bunch of links. Mind you, the other woman and I said this was the only reason we came to do this at Target. We even checked with the tech employee before starting all of this. Even on the signs in the store, it says the same thing, online "$100 gift card with an activation." It says nothing about a new line. We then asked if we could speak with a manager as we were misled. She then messaged her boss, who said to take it up with Target. She then called a Lead over the radio, and the guy said he would honor the gift card, but he had to clock out and instructed her to call another lead, Cindy. Once her name came up, everyone in the tech department looked like, "she might not give you a gift card because she can be 'grumpy' or 'it depends on her mood'." Cindy walks over to talk to the tech employee, and even though we both were standing next to each other and she had paid first (I had every intention of paying as well, I just waiting on the gift card problem to be resolved), Cindy only honors the gift card for the woman next to me. She just told me that I have to take it up with online. I then told her I did it online, but it wasn't showing up, so she had to cancel it and redo the whole thing so I'd be able to get the gift card and phone in store. I was truly one step behind and she couldn't honor the gift card? But you can for the lady next to me because she paid for hers first? I was so embarrassed and upset on how I was spoken to. I felt as if I didn't matter when I spend enough time and money at Target, let alone Santee Target. I do not understand how she said no to me and yes to the other lady when we were there for the same reason. The tech employee told me I could try to come back tomorrow with a different lead -- a "nicer lead". I was going to try, but I was embarrassed and felt uncomfortable being back after being treated the way I was in front of another customer and the other employees. I am honestly not sure if I will ever go back to that Target, as I've even seen Cindy most of the time I go there since I work across the street. It would be one thing If we both couldn't get gift cards, but it's bad customer service to only honor the other customer because she paid before me. Even if the lead before her said he would take care of both of us, Cindy couldn't care less and didn't let me finish explaining myself before walking away and ignoring me. Needless to say, I took my business elsewhere. I will be letting my family and friends know about this experience as well. read more

First of all I want to say screw the target customer service here worst customer service ever. I went to the store around noon and wanted to exchange a gift I didn't want and they told me I couldn't cuse it was electronics and I needed a receipt for that I ask to talk to a manager and she didn't even help me she said sorry she couldn't do anything, but they can let the lady right next to me return 100 items. Not only she was rude she told me to get out the store, I wish I could get her name but she wasn't wearing her name tag. I ended up going to the Target in Grossmont they had no problem exchanging a 13 dollar item. Screw this target and they need to get rid of these kids that's for sure. read more

I must the Target in El Cajon is a hit or miss. I just was there and I loss my $50 umbrella and the chick that was helping (rather lack of) didn't do shit about helping except walk to the back and came right back out. I was like you can't make an announcement over the PA and she was like no. I just walked out. SMH customer has gone down hill she didn't even offer to say anything over the Sallie talkies either. I will not be visiting this one in El Cajon any more!!!!! read more

I came here this evening and bought this sweatshirt. From the start my situation was a mess. There was no price tag on the sweatshirt and this one sweet girl helped me out with it. I wish I remembered her name. She has short brown curly hair and sparkly nail polish. Random detail I know. Lol anyways, she helped me out and I left the store. Got home and realized that stupid sweatshirt wasn't in the mix. And I knew immediately that my clumsy ass had dropped it. Returned back to the store and headed to customer service where Anthony helped me out. He was really kind and really thorough. And rather than just checking the lost and found notebook he also check in the back and tracked down the cart attendant, I think Chris was his name. Chris said he hadn't seen anything and so they decided to go a step further (all for a sweatshirt, needless to say I felt bad) and ask their person in charge. They found the stupid sweatshirt by this time and made sure that it was the right one. Everyone was so nice and helpful all over a fucking sweatshirt. I just really felt taken care of and considered. Each person I encounter went above and beyond to help me out over something so small. It really made my night, not even finding the sweatshirt but just how caring these staff members are. Before I write a whole other paragraph, making this review sound completely over the top and fake, I just wanted to say thanks to Anthony and Chris and the other staff. Ya'll were so great. Hire more people like this, the world needs more individuals who care about others. Even if it is a $12 sweatshirt. read more

Soo stoked to have this store soo close to my house, they are in a middle of a remodel but was able to find what I needed, I was surprised to be greeted twice while walking thru the store.. the employees are very helpful and nice. read more

I bought some baby gifts for a friend of mine. I used my credit card. My information was stolen and my card used to charge three transactions online. My credit card was canceled and the charges declined because i have credit monitoring. I now have to wait for a new card and am being put to a huge inconvenience. I called thier corprate, office and guest service numbers. I felt that they were not interested in my problem and was given the runaround by both of them as well as the target store manager. i will not shop at any target again. DONT USE YOUR CREDIT CARD AT THIS STORE, its encryption isnt safe. read more

Way to make a customer feel uncomfortable. My husband had an appointment so he dropped me off at this target to pick up some stuff we needed and to walk around instead of waiting in a waiting room for him. I'm there maybe 30 mins walking around and the whole time I'm being followed by loss prevention dressed in civilian clothing. The way that I know he was lost prevention was because he kept following me and I got uncomfortable so I checked out and sat in the Target Cafe and I saw him go to where employees only were allowed to go. If you're going to send loss prevention out after someone tell them not to be so obvious next time and actually follow someone that's stealing. read more

I'm going to leave this here, since it my local store. Target's online service is awesome.

This review is for the target cafe. The cafe opens up at 10 am, so my daughter and I wandered around the store for it to open up. We went a few mins after 10 am to order our favorite soft pretzel to share. With a food picky toddler I knew that this is one of her favorite treats. The cafe employee promptly told me that she had just opened up and nothing was ready. What's the point of saying that the cafe is open at 10am when nothing is prepped for to actually be open to serve food?! Having been a retail manager for several years and having a cafe at my store, it was required that the cafe servers come in early so that when the doors open they could serve food. Whether hot or cold. This is the second time that has happened at this location. If it happens again I will be speaking with management. This is not how you run a business!!! read more

I love the Target store, I just hate the Pharmacy staff. They are very rude & nasty to me each & every time I go in. Last night was my last time going there, I will no longer use the Target Pharmacy again. read more

As far as Target's go, it is fine. Still way better than Walmart in my opinion, and just about a block away from the mall. It is clean and well organized. There is a Starbucks inside too. Customer service is good and it usually isn't too busy. read more

I have shopped at the target a couple times with no issues and am also a frequent shopper of the Santee store and online. Every exchange and return I've done has been super easy, fast, and pleasant minus today's. I was returning or exchanging a pair of shoes my son wore a handful of time, but were defective because the sole was peaking back where they are glued. There was obvious wear on the shoe, but they weren't trashed and I was immediately told they couldn't do anything for me. I asked to speak with a manager and the manger was busy so she told the employees to take care of me. During the return I was treated poorly with one of the employees eyes rolling and being overly defensive. If you don't want to take care of customers don't work in customer service. Returns are frustrating as it is, and the added hassle of me trying to defend myself, feel at fault, and that the employees didn't want to take care of me was very obvious and super off putting. I highly encourage the management at the store to consider reviewing employee none verbal and verbal communication skills during returns and exchanges that are defective. To have employees argue with a customer over less than $25 for shoes that were purchased on sale is unproductive. Take care of your customer so they can rely on your product knowing you back it, and trust purchasing with you in the future. read more

My only fault with this Target is that they seem to have issues scheduling enough check-out staff for key times of the day.

This target is clean, well organized, and has great staff. I want to give a shout out to the young lady working in women's clothing yesterday she was super helpful and to Abraham working in returns, what a kind and helpful young man. I just wanted to give these two some recognition! read more

It's an ok target I guess. Their selection is is lousy in terms of home storage... I went to target for one single item. A toy organizer because after Christmas we were definitely in need of one. Having difficulty finding one I asked an employee. He informed me of a "wider" selection online. Why online? Why not IN STORE where it's convenient to buy and take home that day instead of waiting a week to come in the mail? Of course I didn't take my frustration out on the employee but Target is just annoying. The stock for sensible items isn't there! It's all designer, fashionista, overly priced stuff. So, Walmart it was... I need sensible child friendly things. Target doesn't have the items in store that I need. Too bad. read more
