WORST TARGET EVER!!!
I've only been here a handful of times, despite the fact that it is the closest Target to my SJ home, and the last time will be just that, the LAST time.
Store is messy and out of half of the stuff I needed. Employees are useless and unnecessarily rude. Whatever, I can get past all of that, since hey, they might just be having a bad day (on every day I go there). So then I get to the cash register, which is the real reason why I will never go to this Target again. (skip to last paragraph if you don't want to read)
I get in line with an old lady as my cashier. Now, old ladies are notorious for being in an overall bad mood, but mine takes the cake. She noticed that I had a few coupons, and immediately demanded that I hand them over BEFORE she scanned any of my items (never before has this happened to me, and I use coupons A LOT). Ok, so I hand them over. She scrutinizes each and every one of them, reading them word by word. Hey, I don't care, because I know that I used them appropriately. After three minutes of this bullshit, she calls over another person. Not a manager, just someone else who works there. So he does the same exact shit she just did, except now tells me I can only use one coupon.. period. WTF they were for different items, and there was a mix of Target coupons and manufacturer's coupon.
Their online policy even states one Target coupon AND one manufacturer coupon for the SAME item but this dumbass (Miguel) couldn't understand my simple sentences of "Please go read your coupon policy" and "Manufacturer's coupons and Target coupons are different." So after five minutes of arguing with this stubborn, idiotic man, I gave up. You know what they say, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. Oh, so why didn't I talk to a manager? Because I can only deal with so much stupid in a day and I've already wasted too much time talking to these birdbrains.
Went to the Target on Capitol and had absolutely no problems. I guess the literacy rate is better there. My cashier smiled and didn't act like a cranky old lady too =]
So to sum it all up in some key phrases: horrible service, dumb employees, out of stock items, coupon nazi cashiers. Avoid this place at all costs, especially since you have a plethora of other Targets nearby (Capitol, Story, or my personal fave: Coleman). I mean seriously, I don't have ridiculously high standards when it comes to shopping at Target, I just don't appreciate the fact that I was treated like a criminal for no reason. read more
