The service the the store is the was sad I was disappointed I was discriminated really bad I was trying to do a purchase for some AirPods three of them for me and my kids that we started working out at the gym and they told me that I couldn't pay for all three with the credit card she was was starting to speak Spanish to me because the way I looked and I don't even know how to speak Spanish she was completely racist she mistreated me she started mouth talking to me I in front of my kids at me and I told her that I've never been discriminated in my life this she has no way of her working in target she didn't know how to talk customer she said if you don't like if you don't have to be here I said I was get a lawyer to the I should because of my skin and because She thought I didn't have money to pay for everything that I had with me pretty sad because I own my own business and if I was there it's because I had money to pay for whatever I was going to buy otherwise I wouldn't waste my time going to the store and still spending it with my family it's pretty sad that I felt like I was worth nothing special because everybody was looking at me when she started acting the way she was acting I just feel like when target is there employees who should be careful and train them how to treat their customers because I love target I will never go to Walmart I love target this is so much cleaner it's so much more organized and it's so much more cheaper than Walmart and the only problem with that store is that is 90% of them have no customer skills and they just treat you like crap they don't care about selling or doing any sales for the store there's some times where we were arriving there a half an hour before they close and they closed electronic parts so they seriously need to be re-train again horrible customer servicepeople could be discriminated read more

My Fiance and I faced discrimination at Target in Salinas California.  I'm a black/hispanic male, CEO of my own company. My fiance (a lighter skinned woman) is an accountant.   We are both from the Bay area.  We were on a road trip when we stopped by Target in Salinas, CA to pick up food and other items for a dinner party we were having that evening.  My Fiance and I split up in the store and separately shopped. We were in the store for about 1 hour. I immediately notice a white male (Target employee in "street" clothes) following me around everywhere I went as I shopped.  My Fiance carried her service animal (in her arms) with her the whole time. She walked by and made eye contact with several Target employees including the same white male Target employee who had followed me, during her shopping experience.   I checked out first so that I could load up the car and come back and help my Fiance. First I notice that the Cashier had double charged me for my purchase and returned to have them correct it. Once I loaded my car and returned to the store, I found my Fiance in line and went to help her load the groceries onto the Cashier's conveyer belt.  As she was about to pay, she handed her Service Animal to me and within seconds, I was approached by multiple Target employees and then kicked out without our groceries.  Please listen to my Fiance's detailed account of what happened next here-- we believe this was racially driven and need your help to raise awareness about Target so others never have to experience this: https://youtu.be/mPNPquZh720 read more

Target is a convenient store as this specific store is located in Salinas CA off of main street. I had self traveled to this store location as self several times for purchases in store and online of items of self care for curb side pick up. I had used my own personal transporation to get to and from location and curb side pick up provided generated code. Store associates are kind friendly had non Expereince of any issues. If any interactions of any Target customer services repressive InStore at check stands, on phone, or cub side is primarily communicated to iEnglish only. Not at anytime of my visit into Salinas had I been accompanied of any other person of associate with me.m, just of my children sometimes when there had been other online orders for items picked up in shopping center. Otherwise sometimes orders would route here to this location since all other stores had been sold out or not in stock. All items picked up had been "paid"for self usages only and or for my children only. Not intended for any other persons as I do have a Target red card account. Had not added an authorized user on account of car usages.

Some pipsqueak dressed in plain clothes who I'm assuming is the undercover security was out peaking through one of the aisles watching someone (makes it SO obvious) and as my wife is about to go to the next aisle he moves stupidly across his spot to the next aisle physically pushing my wife in the process. She was pregnant too. He didn't even apologize and took off. I went to guest service to complain and asked for a manager, the nice lady working that night got someone. I talked to Ben, told him what happened but he shrugged it off like it was no big deal, told me it was't one of his guys and it must've been a customer. He had no sympathy, was rude and was cold during the whole time I was talking to him. Like I was wasting his time. I moved on & moments later as my wife & I are about to pay for our stuff I see Ben talking to that same plain clothes undercover security guy (he looks asian I think; I've also see him all the time there talking with the security near the door; also see him use employee door near registers) and as my pregnant wife and I walk past them I heard that guy Ben make a racist comment about Mexicans. Shameful, just shameful. read more

Bad experience. I was shopping around the women clothing section when I noticed a guy wearing a black sweater with a hood talking on a phone about a girl who was also looking at clothes he was following her around and telling someone over the phone characteristics about this young girl. My first thought was this man is trying to possible kid nap this girl. I told the women to be careful and the guy walks out and yells saying thanks for fucking it up. Turns out he works for loss prevention. I don't think that's the proper way of handling this type of situation. Especially in today's society. And human trafficking Being so norm. read more

Love shopping here! I have such a fun time when I come here. I stop in the Starbucks that is inside for a my iced coffee drink then I proceed to shop throughout the store. The dollar spot catches my attention for the little things, just love it. Love the great deals I come across and the fact that I can get my groceries from here too, super benefit!! Could use more attention to the litter in the parking lot and more clean up in the bathroom. read more

I would give this place a negative 10 if I could. Putting limits of 1 cleaner per guest. Essential small business owner are not being taking into consideration during these times. They wanted me to bring 3 people to buy 3 Lysol for my 3 businesses. How sanitary is this when I can bring in 1 person who produced all 3 different cards to be paid with and they refuse you. Call corporate and they will say it's to bad you need to figure it out. read more

A frightening experience. Children running around everywhere. Many were screaming their heads off. Parents let them roam around freely, tossing merchandise into aisles. DO NOT visit this store on weekends as you will compete with hordes and deal with a lot of very noisy hyper children. read more

Almost 800 COVID-19 cases in Monterey County and facemasks aren't even enforced. Why am I not surprised?
