I came in for socks since I got gifted a target gift card. I was in awe when I saw a whole section of socks priced at $1.50 - $2.50 and thought this was amazing ! When I went to the cashier (btw only two open with long lines) the cashier rung me up and said "That'll be $16" I said that's not right I saw them for $1.50 even showed him a picture I took (that I was going to send to my friend) of the prices being $1.50. He scanned them and he said "No they're $8" I said "it said $1.50" he called his manager, while another worker joins and is just standing behind him looking at me, and said "SHE'S saying these socks are $1.50" so rude to say that as I just read the tag I didn't demand them to be $1.50 or anything. The manager was so rude with an attitude said "No way" scanned it and said they're $8 while not looking at me the whole time. I said that whole section said it's $1.50, showed her the picture, and while still not looking at me said they are never $1.50. I would understand if someone put them in a wrong spot or something but THE WHOLE SECTION! The manager was completely unprofessional with how she handled it not even apologizing or even tried to honor the price that it was put up for. I just walked out without anything because they were all completely rude and not helpful. Never doing business at target again because of this rudeness and disorganization. read more

I'm trying to comprehend how target could have ONE person working the exchange/return/online pickup desk during holiday season. HOW? The one representative working is doing the best she can but literally- it's ridiculous. The line is down the front of the store, employees are walking past with no concern nor motivation to assist. It's truly disturbing. read more

I am a big Target fan usually, but this Target has really left me upset. I picked up two packs of Sheba cat food for My cat from this Target and upon coming home smelt a funky smell, upon opening the box I find rot and dead bugs inside!! I am so disappointed and quite frankly disgusted especially with the bugs situation inside. I had to throw it all out and can't believe it was in my car and my house read more

Large store, great inventory, wonderful dollar section and clean, considering the amount of foot traffic they get. I regularly visit this store, as they carry inventory most others in the area don't. read more

I frequent this location often since I work nearby and prefer in-store pick-ups for my online orders. It's as clean as they can keep it with customers constantly dropping things or not putting stuff back where they belong. Service can be a little slow at times at the customer service desk. I don't mind the chit chatting but you should be able to do two things at once. Your personal conversations shouldn't come before servicing the customer. read more

Great target. Well organized. Easy to navigate. The staff is fine. The vibe is fine. I'd go back. It didn't scare me away. read more

This review is a sad one for me to write because I have been shopping at this Target since the day it opened. For a long time it was a great store to shop, but in the last two years or so it has gone downhill quickly. First, the place is often disorganized. This is more pronounced in some areas than others. The toy section in particular generally looks like a hurricane hit it. However, the clothing sections can also be very disorganized. The worst thing about shopping here is the lack of product available. Whether we're talking about toys, clothing or certain food items, this Target seems to be perpetually out of stock of some items. I have Tweeted photos of the disarray at the official Target Twitter account, and while I received a response once, it led to virtually no changes. Worse, since the addition of the self checkout machines, there rarely seem to be more than two cashiers working registers at any given time. In theory the self checkout machines should speed things up, but when they're busy complaining about unexpected items in the bagging area or not scanning items correctly, all they do is create a backlog. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this target that could not be fixed with some simple managerial decisions, but there does not appear to be the will to do so. If you're willing to drive an additional twenty minutes, I recommend you go to the Menlo Park branch instead of this one. Note: the staff at this branch is always nice. This is not an issue with them being hard working, it is purely an organizational one at a higher level. If management does not care, they cannot expect the staff to care and the lack of caring is very obvious. read more

This target is a zoo.. hit or miss.. and very depressing. Employees avoid you at all cost and will roll their eyes if you do ask for help. Most of their items are out of stock. The parking lot is a mess too with everyone not giving a F, rush you out of the way then typical eye roll. Very disorganized and you cannot find anything even if it says it's in stock. The carts are all over the place as far as Marshalls parking area. Oh well... I go here only because it's on the way, but if I could avoid it... I would and go to the other many targets in the area.. read more

This target has a big, welcoming entrance with A Ton of carts, including the carts that have the seat for a child, they have mostly self checkouts, a little amount of Staff operated Checkouts. The store is very well lighted and pretty big, good amount of price check machines around the store. They are big on art supplies/school supplies, there is a clothes section somewhere around the back of the store, and near the checkouts is a full aisle or 2 for pet food and pet toys. Overall a great target. read more

The staff at this linden location is so unprofessional . Every time I walk in they are all bunched up in the front by the exit talking loud laughing on the cell phones. NO HELP ON THE FLOOR. The parking lot has so much junk and garbage carts all over . I really don't understand why this has not changed yet . It was renovated it dones look like other targets now but the employee needs to be retrained. I live in 10 minutes away from this target and I rather go to Clark or Edison. read more

I haven't been here in over 5 years. I just moved to the area and this was the closest location. I came here to do a return and two ppl (one who looked like a leader) couldn't process the return. They had to call customer service. I used to work for target and never had to do that as a manager. The staff looked very helpless and nonchalant. Their frozen section was blocked off with tape???? Like I will never go back to this location for real shopping. I spent 30 min trying to return an online order and quite frankly the place looks horrible read more

Not a bad place to shop. Especially after they expanded and started carrying groceries. Props for the foreign items BTW. Like wasabi. They always seem to have the right amount of cashiers on hand throughout the day. Unlike Walmart down the road. Prices are decent and they always have clearance items. Especially on clothing. Things are always in stock as well and on the shelves. You can't take a step without seeing an employee around to give you a hand. read more

Decided to accompany my partner to purchase glasses in the optical department. While we were waiting to check out, an older Portuguese woman kindly asked if I could ask the optician if any worker in the store could Translate for her and her husband as they are would like to make a purchase. The woman wanted to ask in advance if this could be possible, as she intends to come tomorrow morning. The optician without hesitation responded "No". He could not help or provide her with any interpretation assistance. The woman was understanding and left. If anyone is from around Linden, NJ/Union County. We know the demographics in our cities. I am embarrassed at how dismissive this employee was towards someone requesting assistance and had the intentions of making a purchase. They advocated for themselves. Do better Target. Denying services based on a language barrier... Left me baffled. read more

The store in Linden NJ, Store # , sells compromised and invalid gift cards. They are unusable, the display does not warn you of the possibility and that the company has a no return policy. Store staff and corporate customer service are unhelpful. I requested a replacement and the store hides behind their return policy event thought it is the stores fault for selling an unusable item. read more

One of the filthiest stories I've ever been in I got a booster at the CVS which wasn't too bad the technician was decent and knowledgeable but waiting area restroom parking lot isles just made me sick garbage everywhere I know that everyone's having staffing problems but I'm really surprised that no one takes any pride in their general area customers or employees just discarded trash everywhere Very sad can't possibly be good for our current health concerns read more

This is the Walmart of Targets. I've never seen a Target whose items are perpetually out of stock. Everyday looks like a Black Friday sale here. It sucks to have drive 25mins to the next town when I have a Target literally 5 mins away. Management should be ashamed. read more

Entire store is dirty people that work the they just don't care but the bathrooms are something else. I called 2 weeks ago complained about the condition of the bathrooms, they said they will fix it and I went back again today and it's been worse that before. I I couldn't believe it . Disgusting,dirty bathrooms, with Unfleshed stalls. It looked like a third word country place . The management should be ashamed if themselves !!!! Somebody should take responsibility and get fired, they just gave me a lame excuse again when I brought it to their attention. This is a family place for God sakes and start taking care of it like you supposed to ! I'm definitely not going there any more, if thats how they keep their front public bathrooms imagine what's happening in the back?!!! 2 out 5 stalls clogged, one out of order , the other does even lock.... great jobDisgusting ! Shame on u !!! read more

This "Target" is unbelievable. I went to buy ink for my printer today and when I got home and opened it the ink cartridges were already opened and used! I came back to return the item with receipt and got stared at like an alien. I asked if they could check if they had any ink since I needed it asap(hence why I bothered in the first place) guy was like, I can't..Really? I asked for a manager, he told me he had nothing but I could drive to another Target(closest would be Woodbridge) to get ink. Are you kidding me? Thanks, but no thanks, I've already wasted gas money just coming here and you wasting my time telling me to go to another store. Ridiculous. Just rename this store Walmart and call it a day. Customer service isn't a word used here. Go elsewhere. read more

If I could put no stars I would. I checked online for something and it said they had it in stock so I figured I'll go check it first. When I got there it was nowhere to be found. I asked someone & he said they don't have them on the floor only in the back. So I asked okkkk so you can't have someone bring one ? He said no you have to order it online. Which even though it sounds ridiculous I did. I ordered It at 6:52pm it said it would be ready in two hours. 2 hours passed and I still had no confirmation. I got it elsewhere not to wait. I checked this morning still nothing so when I went to cancel it NOW it said "one was unavailable" the other was ready for pick up now. Being that I waited WAY more than 2 hrs and had to go elsewhere to get them I canceled the order. read more

COMPLAINT!!! VERBAL ABUSE!! I ordered items on line to pick up. The website indicated the items were in stock. When I got to the store in Linden I was told the items were unavailable. The website still indicated they were in the isle and even showed me the location. The item was not there so I went back to guest services to get help to reorder the item for either delivery or to pick up at another location 2 MEN WERE standing in line behind me and interrupted the guest service person for help and when I said excuse me I was first and she is helping me THE 2 MEN began talk loudly at me to be quiet and one of the men started to approach me with hands in his pockets. The other man put his arm out to stop him from coming near me. The man with hands in his pockets threatened me saying you don't know who your messing with lady. I'll chew you up and spit you out. Again coming towards me while the other man held him back. He started to make spitting sounds saying I'll spit you out like nothing. I was scared but I held my ground trying to make eye contact but he had dark sun glasses on. I walked towards the ladies room looked back at the man that was holding the other man back and I said do you always gang up on women 2-1? I went in the ladies room and started to cry and shake and when I came out the 2 men were still there I was afraid to leave the store and afraid to say anything. I left the store looking over my shoulder at them. I called the store manager and he said it is their policy to not engage in any conflict between 2 customers. Really?? I'm a 66 year old woman ALONE and 2 men are verbally abusing me and your guest service person is not allowed to say or do anything??? NEVER EVER will I shop there again!!! read more

Horrible customer service! I scheduled an appt for 3:50 on mothers to take family portraits. Due to traffic I arrived 9 minutes late and was told by an employee that they closed everything up because I was late. And I guess since I was her last appointment, she thought it would be a great idea to shut the place down and didint even give me a grace period. My husband arranged this for me as a mother's day gift. The lady said we have a strict policy. I told her this was an important day for me and my family and its really hard to fit this in our schedules. She didn't care. There was nobody else there and she was just ready to leave. She didn't call to tell me she was cancelling my appointment either. Because of this Target, my mothers day was ruined. I will never go back there. read more

My brothers are in the navy and army so getting the 3 of us together is basically impossible. I called target, got an appointment with relative easiness (1 week later appointment). The pictures were of my parents, myself and my brothers. I think the girl who took our pictures was named Sam. She was great. We looked natural and we were all pleased with the photos. I am so surprised by these reviews. They're always booked so people must be going. I recommend them. Take care! read more

Don't go to this store .. there is serious fraud. I've had my credit card information stolen from here & when I went to call the store to report the activity , the person hung up on me and said it wasn't their problem. HOW IS THIS NOT YOUR PROBLEM WHEN YOUR EMPLOYEES ARE STEALING?! Do not shop here! read more

It's inevitable that I walk into Target and end up buying things I don't need at all, ever. For example, brightly colored floral tank tops and a chalkboard in the shape of an owl. I do not need these things. WHY DO I BUY THEM. It's because Target--this one at least--has good sales. Lots of clothes marked down (it seems like there are more sale clothes than regular priced ones...) and pretty cool stuff in that little $1 section. I can usually find what I need here without any problems, and a Shop Rite is located next to it if I need to do grocery shopping. Can't get much better than convenience. read more

The absolute worse Target, thus far! I came out to this location to grab a Starbucks which was yet another lackluster experience and THERE WAS NOTHING ON THE SHELVES!!!!!!!!!!!! with Valentines being 2 days away, there were no gift sets, no face wash, limited laundry detergent, no food, nothing. I live in target, typically online or the Vauxhall location so I expected more. I will never return to this linden location again! Ugh read more

This is actually one of the better targets that I've been to. The store was clean and everything was where it should be, with store associates in sight if I needed any help. I went to the restroom and almost ran away because of how bad it was. And the Pizza Hut kiosk was not open, which was odd on a weekend but oh well. Fix those minor things and it is definitely 5 star worthy. read more

Target store needs to be start organizing on the shelf and stuff. It scattered all over places since I can't find anything to buy.:(

All I have to warn other customers about is how I arrived at this Linden NJ store a half hour before the store closed and I was told to come back in the morning to make an electronics purchase. I was not the only customer attempting to purchase an electronics item either. Three customers turned away for trying to shop at their store... unbelievable! I purchased the television from another store instead. read more

Theoretically this is a Target store: it's got four walls and a roof. Interestingly, it doesn't have much of anything for sale in certain departments. Recently I went there twice in one week (don't ask) and both times the employees were moving the same six jugs of bottled water from one empty food section to another empty food section. But that was just an appetizer for the checkout line, where the cashiers had been using tiny bags for customer purchases. In a Target, where none of the purchases would fit in these tiny bags. For two days. read more

This used to be my favorite Target... USED TO BE... Since the management changed... Forget it! The WORST Target ever!!! The customer service is the worst I've ever seen. Deal with them is a nightmare. They are arrogant, mean, rude, unhelpful and I can keep going on and on. Most of the employees don't know what they're doing. (Some of them are really nice and I can't say one bad word about them.) Anyway... This Target doesn't follow the coupon policy at all!!! They judge people by their faces. I will NEVER EVER go there again! Stay away! read more

I was looking for something that was on clearance. When I first asked for help, the woman who works at the department said "just look through the clearance." Okay.. after searching for a while, I asked the same person if she could check the system to see if it is in stock. I gave her the item number and all she said was "clearance!" What does that even mean? Does that mean once it goes to clearance you don't even check inventory of an item? Target website displays that this item is in stock at the location. I understand that the system is not always up-to-date. She should have at least pretend to look or to help me. I have been to many different target locations and so far this was the worst customer service ever. read more

Never buy anything from this store, The absolute worse Target and customer service. Dishonest. I went their and ask for international unlocked iPhone 7phones so I can bring it to my kids in another country, they lie to me and they said yes we do, I bought the phones and went for vacation, give the phones to my kids, phones didn't work, all are locked and not international, brought the phone back with me, tried to return them back to the store, and want take it back. This is against the American law. We will be meeting in court to show that this country have a law to respect. read more

It is your typical high volume studio. They care more about money than quality. Most of the employees know nothing about photography, cameras, lights, ect.

I'm a freelance photographer of 10 years. Having my own family I decided to get our pictures done so I can be in them too. I took my 6 month old here to have our Christmas photos taken. Our appointment was for 7pm and they weren't ready for us until 9pm. My son was way past his bedtime at that point but was hanging in there. The girl who took our photos seemed to have no training at all. She posed us in very award positions and plopped my baby into a barrel (hard) while getting annoyed that he was crying. Finally I put my foot down, shocked that she had just hurt and scared my baby, and told her that I would hold him from then on. She took about 20 shots...when I was them on the screen they were off center, crooked and my babies eyes were closed. There were no photos of our son smiling....not one. She didn't even try to get him to smile. She didn't care, at all. She rushed us because it was passed closing even though we had waited for over 2 hours. Thank God we used a Groupon because those "179$" photos were trash. Even the 20$ Groupon was not worth our one 8x10 and the 3 digital pictures we got on a CD. SHAME ON TARGET. I actually boycotted the linden target because of this....and called to ask for corporates number to complain that she had hurt the baby. They refused to give it to me. What scum! read more

Let me start off by saying how much I really like Target when compared to Walmart, Kmart, etc. I visited the Target in Linden for the first time in a long time yesterday and honestly could not believe how MESSY and DISORGANIZED everything was! I am not sure if they are re-organizing the whole store, but wow, what a mess. Shopping carts full of products were sitting all over the place, shelves were bare, items were in the wrong places, things were knocked over. It was just getting worse and worse as you walked through the store. I couldn't find what I went there for because the stationery / office aisles were a disaster. Not going back to this Target. read more

Typical box store but it is always clean and I live in their tank tops!

Worst store , the optical section won't pick up the phone during business hours
