This store has a real problem with anybody who wants to buy more than one of any item. If you have multiple qtys of the same item, Asset Protection, especially short and petite Hispanic girl in blue Target AP shirt, likes to follow you around and scrutinize your cart contents. You get to the front to pay and even further scrutiny begins with front end personnel after AP talks to them. Store Management is then summoned to the front. They have a "huddle" meeting and scrutinize your purchases and talk about you. One of them comes to you and states they have the right to limit quantities and they want to know if you are using coupons. Asked why they want to limit qtys and you just get nonsense answers and no real truths or facts. They either will not let you get what is in your cart and they would rather waste time and labor to pick items from your cart and pay labor to restock the products back on the shelf or they give nonsense like "we'll do it this time". Okay, so what about next time?
A couple months ago, I had 2 loaded carts of items and just walked out after they started hassling me and didn't want to sell everything to me. Went to Walmart across the street and spent $6k so take note Target. Asked why coupons matter, despite me not using them, and was told you can only use 4 of the same one. This is my 3rd experience with this store pulling this stunt in the last 6 months. Never known of any retailer who is going to keep their store from earning $1,500 - $2k in sales revenue from a single buyer or who wants to make a customer the topic of conversation and scrutiny right in front of the customer. Very unprofessional conduct, especially for persons who are supposed to be "managers". If these Target members of management and Asset Protection worked for me and I found out they were treating customers the way they do, causing me to loose sales and causing customers to go to my competition, they would be fired.
I encourage everybody to go across the street and shop at Walmart instead of this Target. Walmart thanks me for my business and has no problem with me spending $2k-$3k in their store at one time. No "we have the right to limit quantities" nonsense and no interrogation from Walmart employees or management, unlike Target. Walmart CSM's and mgmt go out of their way to help me and check me out at the register. Walmart wants my money and the revenue, unlike Target, who tries to keep me from spending money in their store.
Thought I would give this Target a last chance and they blew it. Three strikes and you are out. Will be contacting Target legal and the CEO of Target. Will report my experience and ask them to determine why this store scrutinizes me every time I make large purchases and why this store does not want my money. The CEO needs to know about the inappropriate conduct of their Asset Protection and store level management. It's time they clean house at this store and get rid of these "bad apples". These bad apples are costing the store sales and goodwill. read more
