1. Environment feel: there often beggars and solicitors in the parking lot. Within the store it's well kept, clean, and organized. 2. Customer Love : Shout out to a guy named Toby who works there... He is a very genuine and awesome guy. Outside of that... When you get to the register be prepared for when they ask you if you want to open up a Target card and save 5%. LOL .... I feel like the chemistry with the cashiers becomes shallow. 3. The Products: Trendy and affordable. 4. Would I come back? YES read more

Matthew who helped us out in self check out yesterday 3/19 was the epitome of sunshine. Not just cause he was beaming but overall positive, nice and super helpful. This man deserves a raise for making self check out an actually pleasurable and fulfilling experience. Loved the vibe. Thanks Target for hiring diverse and full hearted folks. read more

Now has a grocery section! It's Target. What can you really say? But I am happy they have finished their grocery section finally! read more

I don't usually write reviews for stores but I had an exceptional experience this morning at this location and feel they need a shout out! Everything I had on my list showed "in stock" online however 3 items were not on the floor. Two people in two different departments helped me out looking up the dcpi numbers and finding all three items in the back without any hesitation or annoyance. I'm an avid online shopper because I usually don't have luck in store anymore but will def make this location "my store" from now on. Our cashier was also super friendly and helpful. read more

Absolute WORST Target location! It's unorganized, dirty (even though they recently had a remodel) and what really earns it's one star status in my book is the HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I'm not talking about a single employee bad encounter, but fairly consistently across the board, attitudes ranging from completely unconcerned to straight up rude. Not cool. I spend entirely too much money at Target to feel good about shopping at this location. I will usually drive further to another Target just to avoid this place. Tonight because we were short on time we decided to stop at this location. Never again. I even tried to ask for a manager on duty because of a situation. I didn't get the name of the person who came over, I should have, but I could see after talking to her why the other employees around her feel like it's ok to give such poor service. She offered no help, no solutions, just excuses and attitude. Even on the way out of the store as we passed her she just glared at us with a sour face. I will be writting Target corporate with more detail, but they apparently are in desperate need of training or maybe a management overhaul. So disappointing and frustrating. I love Tagret, I hate that this location which is the most convenient makes me feel otherwise. read more

Horrible customer service when we went in to this target today. I used to shop at target but stopped because of the bad customer service. I decided to try it again today see if anything has changed. NOPE. The isles were crowded and we were blocked by two different workers stocking. I couldn't even get to one item I needed, because there were boxes blocking the isle. Then we went to a line that had one person that appeared to be finishing up checking out. She had all of her items loaded in her cart. We walked up and placed our items on the belt. After that we waited and waited and waited while the cashier took 15 min to help the lady wrap each of her plates individually. She did this soooo slowly. I literally had time to go over to the Starbucks, order three drinks, and then return to my husband still waiting with all of our items still sitting on the belt!! I was very frustrated. The cashier didn't even apologize for the wait. We will not be returning. read more

At first, when i asked for some assistance the person helping me didn't do much or answer my question but i asked a second employee and they were really helpful. Overall a good layout of the store, everything is very easy to find, and it has reasonable prices. read more

Never never never use Targets on line ordering to pick up in the store. Their ad says fast and convenient!! Not so!! Waste of way too much time!!! read more

This place is inconvenient and inefficient. They finally price match but not at the regular registers. They want you to go to guest services to have them price match it for you. We didn't have a receipt for a shirt we wanted to exchange but we weren't allowed to exchange it. It was obvious the shirt was bought at target because it had their tag and they have it in stock. They forced us to take $15 store credit when we previously paid $20 for the shirt. Then we had to buy the shirt outright at regular size but I guess at least we got the right size this time This is a ridiculous store who will eventually fail to amazon and other online retailers. Try and get it together Target before you completely fall apart. read more

This review is specifically for the electronics/mobile/tech section. I went to this target because they were the only ones in the area with an Iphone 8 left. The two gentlemen working this section obviously didn't like each other they were very impolite to each other and became frustrated and it reflected poorly on their customer service skills. Also the gentleman specifically helping me (or attempting to) rushed through my purchase and didn't give me any insight on how returning my phone works what will be different etc. Probably wont be returning to this target again. read more

Please add markers to keep customers at 6ft apart. Customers are not respecting the 6ft rules and are exposing employees.

When I came to Target on Auto Parkway in Escondido Xander was exceptionally helpful in finding just what I wanted. He offered to help me find a fanny pack. He also had very helpful input regarding other options of a fanny pack in the entire store. He seemed very informed about the whole store's departments merchandise saying that the mens' department only had a neon yellow one. It seems that Xander has a viewpoint that any customer would welcome. He sees the world from the customer's eyes. THANK YOU Xander! read more

The staff at the via rancho parkway is so much better the. Auto parkway. They are rude they don't try to help their customers like they do at other locations this location needs a attitude change they alway lose my RX too never get it right here read more

A young man claiming to be the manager of the store was amazingly rude to me today. His name if I remember correctly is Kelan. He is supposed to be able to handle complaints from customers. Mine was that it would be helpful if they provided maps at the front of the store as to where everything is if they rearrange the entire store. I am 67 years old. I walked all over the store looking for a certain product unable to find it. One very nice worker told me that there are many people with the same complaint after informing him of my frustration at having to walk all over the store with aching feet trying to find an item. The so called manager instead of being understanding like this very nice Latino employee, in response to my map suggestion he accused me of refusing to want learn something new and that I need to use the store app that contained a map. We seniors are not as technology savvy. His lack of sensitivity and understanding of seniors and their needs is not an asset for Target. You can rest assured that Target will now be the very last store I ever go to and only in utter desperation. You would think that in this day and age he would be a bit more aware of how stiff the competition is with stores like Amazon and Walmart where I can order online. That will most definitely be my main go to. My computer is never rude and I don't have to look all over and not find what I need. But Target will not be my online store either. I am the customer and young man, in my day we learned that the customer is always right. That, my friend is what YOU have to learn. read more

They do not price match Amazon. Other Target locations still do. Target was starting to win me over again because of this feature...now back to Amazon I go. Also, this location is typically dirty, has older fruits, and is very difficult to get in and out of. read more

I went to pick up some birthday candles and a few other items at this store today. When I went to the register my cashier looked at the candles and asked if it was my birthday, I then explained my birthday wasn't until Monday. He then proceeded to say "Happy Early Birthday!! I hope it's amazing! Wait, let me sing you happy birthday!" then out of no where he started singing me Happy Birthday right in the front of the store! He even tried to get his other coworkers to sing along! Oh my goodness it was the best thing that has ever happened to me, he was just the sweetest guy ever! His name was Christopher, if you see this Christopher, thank you! It made my day! read more

I tried replacing my broken headset but was told I can't according to the virus. It's literally broken... I PAID for the warranty to replace it. Toss it in the trash and move on and give me my headset so I can sit inside. read more

I'm a huge target fan already and I just recently discovered that this Target has a GIANT baby clothing department. If you're looking for a large selection of adorable and very affordable baby clothing then look no further! read more

I went in to get some things that I needed, saw a promotion and decided to get four toothpastes because I was going to get a free gift card. Went to the register and it didn't ring up so I went and took a picture to show her and she didn't give it to me so I asked if a supervisor could just give it to me since the only reason I bought four toothpastes was because of it. She said she couldn't give it to me and just to go to guest service. I went to guest service to get it changed and the attendant said " it will give it to you in cash but it looks like you won't mind" girl I don't need your attitude I just need the promotion YOU put out!! The store is always super busy and super cramped even if they do open all their lanes it feels like one is opened. Never coming back !! read more

Excellent Target. Clean. NIce staff. Starbucks. New shopping carts. Plenty of parking. What's not to like?

They had what we were expecting and they had excellent customer service. There isn't much more that I could ask for. I also love that Chick-fil-A & Soup Plantation is verrrry close read more

I freaking love target stores. I feel like this one is much nicer than some of the other ones in San Diego county. It's clean, it's big, it's got lots of aisles. The workers are kinda rude and aren't really helpful. The guy I asked for help had no idea what I was looking for. read more

Getting in and out of the store can be dangerous since there is a lot of car traffic, so be careful. I walked in. This location was busy during the fires. The store looked good not great, but organized. I was never greeted once I walked in and while I was shopping. I was able to find what I need. There were a good amount of registers open. The guy at the registered greeted me and how things are going. I respond and I was out the door. read more

I always have a hard time parking, and the place is always packed. I must say though, always clean, and 95% of the time friendly employees that offer their help. This is the closest Target to me, so it's convenient, but I do enjoy going there. read more

This Target is pretty good. The only bad thing is that sometimes the lines can be really long. But besides that, they have just about anything you need. read more

I had applied for a position at the above Target store on line. I was called in for an interview. The very young man that interviewed me seemed very interested in hiring me, with all the experience i have in retail that did not surprise me , he then told me he was going to have me have my second interview now, so just wait here and i will get the hiring manager . Then came back out and told me that the person had left for the day and would be back in touch with me. After 3 days i called the store and was informed i was NOT referred to the second interview and no longer in the hiring process, no reason. The young mans name is Kalen from Hawaii , just relocated so he could help his mother. So he lied to me, face to face , and disqualified me from and chance for employment for no apparent reason. read more

Ok, so I am not one to complain about Target because i'm a frequent shopper and I love it there but today I really had to yelp my experience. So I had just finished my workout at the gym, it was about 10pm so i figured i'd stop by to target for a few things . I was on my way to check out when i see pretty long line (just 1 check out person), so i told myself ok this should go by fast... It didn't. I was getting frustrated one a lady was taking forever asking question, she had the nerve to open a target debit card .Another target staff came to the rescue but but i was to late to get to the cashier and ended up waiting on my original lane.I would have used the self check out but it always gives me problems. I couldn't wait another 10 minutes to check out, I was just so upset with the horrible wait that i just took off and left my stuff there. I know it is the cashier's job to offer credit card or target debit card but c'mon now don't offer when you got a loooooong line going on!!!!! read more

This Target is ALWAYS busy. The Target in Vista off of University Drive is much slower and tends to have more sale items in stock. The parking lot is designed with spaces so narrow you should fully expect fresh dents in your vehicle every time you park here. read more

I can pretty much always get what I need here, when I need it, and I do prefer hassle of Target to the craziness of Walmart. If you come by here on most weekends you will be greeted by throngs (yup..word of the day T-H-R-O-N-G-S) of people...But I have almost always gotten out unscathed. The store is most often pretty clean and the staff helpful and courteous. Great selection of baby stuff and kids clothes as well! read more

I've visited this location several times and enjoy it. Their selections is always great. Their prices on things like Green Giant Steamer Bags is GREAT! I wouldn't have expected it from Target, but I know where I'll start doing some of my snack shopping!! read more

Target is fine however the much too loud walkie talkie radios make me want to leave as quickly as possible !!! Isn't the idea to encourage the customer to browse. TURN DOWN the volume or better yet use headsets. read more

I have had the worst experience ever here!!! I went to this store to get a refund on something i had been overcharged $7 for, and the manager (Annette) didn't do the return properly and ended up giving me back my $7 but emptying out my $10 gift card- so I actually lost 3 ADDITIONAL dollars. When I realized the mistake and went back to get her to fix it, she accused me of stealing the gift card! It's a long story, but bottom line is I have never been treated worse by anyone in customer service. I used to be a hard core target fan, but since this experience 4 months ago, I have never gone back in target. I wish I could give 0 stars. read more

I got hit up twice in the parking lot, the store was a disaster and couldn't find anything I needed. I ended up leaving my full cart with an employee and going to a different target! read more

I always have so much fun at target. I especially like the $1 section in the front. They have cute clothes that are affordable! The parking lot is not well set up with drives me nuts sometimes. Even when I'm not trying to go there. But once you get through the madness of the parking lot, the store is amazing. read more

This is my go to Target. I always love the range of clothing & prices they got. & love them sales racks!! I just hate the parking here sometimes & it doesn't matter what time of day you go. I feel like who ever engineered it was just trying to save space. Beware of huge trucks double parking! read more

This is the closest Target to my house and I have no complaints. The workers here are very helpful to me all the time and friendly when checking out. I have even ordered stuff online and picked it up in the store with no hassle. The aisles are clean and well stocked. The clearance sections for clothes have lots of options. Every time I go to Target I love seeing how much my overall total drops after using Cartwheel (phone app for savings) and my Redcard for 5% off. I am a total bargain shopper! Love my coupons! The Starbucks in here is a treat. Last time the girl gave me free soy milk in my chai for waiting in line so patiently. I didn't even think I was waiting that long. Target is my favorite store and I'm so happy to have a good one so close to home. read more

Every time you go here and use the restroom especially since they just remodeled it and looks good no adequate ventilation at all. Always smells read more

This Target is much like any other Target I guess. I like going here instead of Walmart or most other big retail stores. My only complaint is the parking and traffic situation. The parking lot is always packed, the spaces are narrow, and it's always such a pain to get out. Otherwise, this store is just fine. read more

I've never really been impressed with this location, its just your typical Target. Its in a good shopping mall there's plenty of stores and food joints around. The parking lot is a bit crazy. I feel like I'm going to get hit by a car every time I go there! Its not bad, but there's nothing that makes this Target special like really good deals. read more

This rating is for the pharmacy. My 87-yr old Mom originally had her prescription at the Target on Balboa Avenue, for a huge 800mg tablet of cholesterol medication once daily. It was difficult for her to swallow, so her physician changed it to two smaller 400mg size tablets once daily instead. Then Mom moved, and had her prescriptions transferred to Target on Auto Parkway. Somehow in the transfer the directions got changed, and they dispensed the right medication with the wrong instructions, saying ONE 400mg tablet once daily, instead of TWO tablets. Strike One. We checked with our physician and he had not changed the orders, so Mom continued to take two a day. When Mom ran out, Target did not want to refill it because according to their erroneous records the prescription should have lasted twice as long and she wasn't ready for a refill yet. She had to go without her medication for a few days while trying to straighten out communications between the pharmacy and the physician. This time my sister went directly to the pharmacist with prescription in hand. The pharmacist dispensed the huge 800mg pills again, saying she didn't want to do the two 400mg ones for fear the confusion would cause another error. Wait.....you are changing the orders for the prescription because you are afraid your own staff will screw it up again? Strike two. The pharmacist then told my sister that it was OK, the 800mg pill wasn't THAT much larger than the 400mg ones. (NO!!! If my 87-yr old Mom has trouble swallowing it, then it IS too large!) Strike three. But then my sister conceded (she WAS talking to a medical professional after all) and said, well OK then maybe we'll just cut them in half, and the pharmacist agreed. (NO!!! It states right in the insert that is sent home with this medication that these pills are not to be split before swallowing.) The pharmacist should have known that. There are literally hundreds of different drugs on the market, so I can see where it would be impossible to know everything about every drug, but there is nothing wrong at all for a professional to say--"I believe that would be fine, but let me check just in case". Strike Four. That's not to say they messed up EVERY time we went there. And it is of course normal that in any profession there will be instances of human error. But....four strikes. And not just human error, but poor judgement. It doesn't matter how cheap Target prescriptions are, it's not worth it if the people handling drugs for patients may not know what they're doing. read more
