Today, I was shopping on this beautiful Fourth of July day and the cashier who checked me out was absolutely wonderful with the best attitude and so cheerful. She was so genuine and happy to be there working on a holiday weekend. I want to say her name was Allison or Addison. You made my day with your positive attitude and Target is very lucky to have you. With your kindness you will go very far in whatever career path you choose. Thank you again for making my day! Jan Chapman read more

Literally go in the next day, after my 4 star review, to buy the newest College Football 26 for PS5. No one around in electronics, so I press the call button. The young man comes out from the back, with attitude hits the button and says, "yeah?" I say I want to trade in my old game and put it towards the new one. "You have to do that up front." He turns and walks away. Then I proceeded to walk up front, and tell the older, blonde woman, behind the returns/exchange and she looks at me, with attitude, "I've never heard of this, I've been here 14 years and I've never done this or saw this!" Almost Aggressively says I can't return it because it's open. I go well, I want to trade it in towards the new one, I've done this for years." She calls two managers and they look at me like and say dismissively, "I've never heard of this." Tell them to look online even if you would like on YouTube and I showed them online that target talks about trade-ins. they then tell me I've never heard of this. They look it up and then tell me I would have to do it through the mail and online. at this point I feel as if they're accusing me of doing something or trying to pull something over them so I give up completely and just say all right I'll buy the game, just to end this weird interaction. *Overall, this target has horrendous customer service and shows why everything is going to online, AI, and robots!* read more

Kristen in the dairy/produce section was top shelf hp to me today. I asked for something they sooner carry, but Kristin (sp?) offered me options. She was very polite- even though she was inthe middle of a task, she didn't make me feel like i was interrupting. Customer service it's best! read more

What's not to like about Target. I'll date myself by stating I remember when TARGET was Discos, Two Guys, now? Target :D In-store shopping is nice. Store is very clean, spacious, and lots of associates for assistance. On-line shopping is fun and very convenient. You can drive-up and have delivered to your vehicle or delivered to your home. The Target APP is easy to install, use and navigate. I like both shopping styles, especially during the Holidays. You do know there is a STARBUCKS inside right? So get your comfy yummy Holiday drink on as you shop. Will make your shopping experience cozier I think. Happy Holidays! read more

Target - One of the many drive up parking spaces - Department Stores Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

I absolutely love this target. They have remodeled it in recent years and it looks nice. Everything is relatively in the same place as it was before. There are always plenty of employees out on the floor, every single time that I go (which is once a week) and they are always very knowledgeable about where things are in the store. They are friendly and work really hard to keep the shelves stocked. I've never once gone in and not been able to find what was on my list, knowing that it is carried at the store. Shelves are always fully stocked. Now, this is target, they do have reasonable prices on certain things and other things they are more expensive. But if you hit the sales right and no, when things are being marked down, you could really get a great deal on high ticket items. Destroy is always well organized, it's kept very clean and it is a place I will continue to frequent . read more

I guess I go into Target about once a decade, and I was happy to see that our local Target (pronounced Tar' jhay) has undergone a remodel and now includes an Ulta store! I was dazzled by all the upscale, trendy cosmetics now available at the store! I was warmly greeted by two staff members and informed that any cosmetics from that department needed to be purchased there, but that if I were buying other items from the store they could ring those up also. Lots of info, but very helpful when the lines at check out are long. I actually find a lot of stuff on the little clearance racks at the ends of some of the aisles, and this time was no exception. I found a perfect microfiber towel (it's actually a spa sarong) to use at the gym on one of the shelves. I also encountered a couple of local workers shopping these Clearance shelves. They work at a local Starbuck's and appreciate the bargains on the sale items. It was the middle of the early afternoon, naptime for lots of toddlers, whose parents are the primary demographic for Target, so the store was not too crowded. They have also expanded their fashion section and with Back-to-School looming in the not-too-distant future, there were many Moms shopping with their teenagers in tow. I did miss the discount sections in the back of the store, where I once found the perfect lighted Christmas tree for my Mom! read more

My children received gift cards for Christmas. We tried using them on January 11, 2026. I needed assistance using the gift cards. The older man working in self check out scratched off the access code, with a huge old gold coin. He proceeded to tell me I could not use this tender to pay, that he scratched off the access code and I would need to call the # on the back of the card. There was nothing he could do for us and sent me to speak with customer service. Customer service was even worse they act like this happens all the time " they have many issues with giftcards " at this location, yet they still sell them knowing this and still take the money that customers are paying for. I could not use any of the 5 giftcards our family purchased. Even though all we're brand new, not scratched and had the purchase receipt taped to them. They said there was "NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP US!" This will be last time I visit the SLO Target store. And I will also be closing my Target charge card. Very disappointing experience. read more

Target - The gift card their employee damaged. - Department Stores Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

This place is full of upper middle class white kids who are very rude and treat the store and it's employees like they are nobodies. I've gone here many times but this last time I watched some college kid call one of our veterans a stupid a**. These people need a wake up call. I applaud the workers here for having to deal with the overly snobby attitude. Otherwise this is an awesome target. read more

You have a very rude cashier she was not pleasant at all she was extremely rude ruled her eyes and refused to let me talk gave the supervisor when I was clearly telling her one of the items how to discount and she kept trying to charge me full price and then finally she said after a few minutes of going back and forth are you going to buy it or not because you're holding up the line I'm very disgusted with that behavior I will not be returning read more

This target is very spacious and clean. Had all my essentials and then some. Target is always my go to when I go out of town. When I find myself back in SLO, I'll make my way to this location! read more

Firstly upon entering this store ( San luis obisplo ) there's a pukey smell for years now. Never could identify it. Most clerks are nowhere to be seen have to wait forever. Most of the better items are gone from the shelves. All the Cat litters are highly undesirable full of chemical scents also no choice in electronic products radios, etc. The Starbucks coffee area has also been dismantled no where to sit or charge the phone. But yesterday I was just finishing up some Dinner in my Car when some puny but pushy little 20 yr old " security " guy sneaks up behind to say " I'm sorry ma'am but there's no camping allowed here." I CORRECTED him how was I " camping ?" I was eating. He says ok after you finish I'll have to ask you to leave " so wtf was that ??? No reason he just walks away wouldn't talk any more. I stormed into the store looking for a manager only finding a lame excuse for some assistant... told here how I was insulted and hoe a few years ago a friend's Van was towed while they were in the store shopping and no one would tell them who, why ,or where. Took a lot of investigation to get it returned with an apology but still no explanation. Yhis is becoming all to common in san luis obispo. If you're aren't driving new and shiny. They try to push you out. Well As I've spent plenty $$ in that store ,you can be sure not one more Dollar of mine will go there!! They are having enough trouble already with the other political issues they're involved in. Maybe as more and more businesses close up they will realize WHO they should've been Loyal to. Do NOT SHOP TARGET read more

Just wanted to say thank you. Today we met a target employee named Sky (i believe) who was so helpful to me ‍and my ihhs caretaker today! Helped us figure out some things we were having trouble with. (Also my mobility aid (wheelchair/walker/rollator) was safely kept near the returns and exchanges counter so no one would move it away or take it which is so important when disabled it can be stressful to worry about things like that at a lot of stores.) Sky made our trip to the store so much easier. Thank you, Sky at target! read more

Target - Thanks! - Department Stores Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

Not saying anything bad about Target, but just a heads-up. I watched a woman at the checkout hand two pillows back to the cashier and say, "Sorry, I just used these to lay my baby on. You can have them back now." The pillows had been in the bottom of her cart with the child lying on them. Just something to keep in mind if you're grabbing home goods. read more

this is for Target eye exam. If you read one of my other yelps, you'll know not to go to Pacific eye I went here for my exam. this eye exam was way better and way more polite way more selections in way faster on getting prescriptions and by the way I don't have iron insurance and way cheaper so if you need a great place good price highly recommend. thanks, K.R.. read more

This Target store is right across the street from Costco in SLO. The layout is like any other Target. Nice, clean store. There's a CVS Pharmacy inside. Quick check out and friendly staff. read more

This review is specifically for Rudy, who does pick up orders. Rudy is always such a pleasure and is so kind when I do my pick up orders (often daily). While I've had to sometimes wait during peak times, it's worth it to get customer service like that from him. Thank you, Rudy! read more

Nice, clean Target location that surprisingly wasn't very busy when we stopped by on Saturday evening. Items were easy to locate, and prices were clearly marked on the shelf. Self checkout was a breeze and highly recommended if you only have a handful of items. Don't forget to bring a reusable bag! read more

My favorite target, such nice customer service. Not crazy packed and overwhelming as other targets I've been too. Usually restocked on everything. I personally would go to this one over any one of the ones I've been to in other cities. Lines are a breeze. Also such a pretty view of the mountains surrounding it. read more

Not only did they forget 1/2 our drive up but when we tried to call no one answering phones, do better Target!

FINALLY met a target employee that was friendly and I want to give him some credit! I did not get his name unfortunately, but he was a black gentleman that worked last night around 7:30/7:45 on register closest to self check out. You were a great pleasant person to end the trip with. Thank you for being patient with me as I had to move money from one bank to another lol. Thanks man, APPRECIATE YOU! Give the guy a raise! read more

Most of the large department/misc stores are sequestered to one part of SLO. I find this convenient not only because I get all my shopping needs done in one area but also because it doesn't disrupt the small town feel by the downtown areas. We came in trying to look for some electronic parts we needed. Looked online and sure enough they had what we were looking for in stock... at least online. Sadly, our experience here reflects the slow replacement of these once dominant stores in favor of online retail represented by Amazon. In an effort to "save time" we ordered online for pick up. By the time we got there, our item had not yet been picked up for us to pick up so we went searching for it on our own. Sadly what was supposedly in stock was not and we chose our second alternative. This HDMI to USB cable was terrible. Sound didn't work and was a pain to set up. There weren't many choices to choose from and most parts were made by companies we never heard from. Honestly, if there is no intention on keeping these electronic parts in stock, why have an electronic section at all? Overall, a clean store but sparsely stocked. Lines were long and only a few registers were open with long lines building up in a not so busy store. The efficiency of this store brings into question the management style here. Anyways, I would only come here if I was in urgent need of something, otherwise it looks like I'm sticking with my go to of online shopping. read more

Horrible service, the manager Tl Jason was rude and I feel sorry for the employees that have to put up with this guy. It's unfortunate to say the least. read more

I think the checker who helped me out was Anor or Anouor? I think her name tag had Farsi on it. Anyway, she did a great job checking me out and I would totally wait in a longer line to be in her line next time. Way to go A! She really went above and beyond for me. read more

The bathrooms were disgraceful, oh my gosh. Now it's not their fault how packed it gets but wow! The bathrooms smell horrid, it's grimey, and the sink is out of order?? Needs to be mopped, swept, wiped down, and just kept an eye on every thirty minutes. Disgusting !!! read more

Sure would be nice if they could restock their disinfectant wipes so you could wipe down the dirty shopping cart handles

Today Brian helped us (San Luis Obispo Target) - what great Customer Service. We ordered two of something online and when we picked them up they said they only had 1 of the items. He went to look in the store because it showed they still had more of this item eventhough they cancelled one of our orders, but come to find out they mismarked the color. Thank you Brian for your exceptional Customer Service! G & P read more

Order drive up. The ultimate laziness. Ordered all my household essentials, luckily target had everything in stock. Selected each item for drive up. Then place order. Once ready i get a notification on my phone. The app has me press a button when I'm headed to store, they have I think 2 designated drive up parking spots clearly marked, which were open in the very front parking spots by the front doors (awesome) - select that you are at the store and I waited 2 mins and the employee came out with a cart, came to my window to scan my app then she put the stuff in my open trunk and shut it and off I went. Didn't even have to step foot outside of my car. Hahaha thank you target (for keeping me from buying more than I would if I went inside, I think lol) read more

Leaving this review specifically for Brian because he is a super human. A few weeks ago, my friend and I went for a late night Target run. We both checked out in Brian's line and spent the entire car ride home talking about how awesome he was. His energy and genuine engagement felt so refreshing. We even joked and started using his name as a verb when talking about things. [example: "What are you gonna make for dinner tonight?" "I dunno, but definitely gonna 'Brian' the best meal ever!"] Today, I went in for a couple things and set my reusable bag on top of the conveyor belt. I had forgotten that employees are not handling customer bags at this time. Brian has probably had to tell customers this hundreds of times, but he said it to me like it was the first - with grace, empathy, and understanding. Saved me the embarrassment of breaking a Covid rule. As someone who also works in a customer service role, he inspires me to do better and be better. To the higher ups, please give Brian a raise or promotion or whatever he wants so he sticks around! To all you fellow Target shoppers, go through Brian's line if you need a pick me up. He is the grand finale of a Target run! read more

The drive up pickup service they are doing right now is excellent. We have been using them pretty regularly now throughout the past year and they have proven reliable and efficient. You can pretty much order and pick up within a few hours. I had one order out of many where they forgot one bag of items (mind you this was a huge $275 order), but they held it for me until I was able to get back for it. They have done a fairly good job of keeping items in stock too, I only wish they would carry more meats and fresh foods as their pricing is decent and I find their service really wonderful in comparison to other local stores. I also have found with their app and offers I save a decent amount of money on daily staples and such here. I also really appreciate that they carry a large selection of keto/low carb goods and specialty foods that are lower in sugar and carbs as that is something we follow in our household so it's great to know I can pick items up at the local SLO target instead of looking online or trying to find a specialty store for them. We will continue using this store. It's also a great store for an in store experience, the cashiers move quickly thru even the biggest lines and seem extra helpful whenever we have made an in store trip here. If you have a chance, take a second to appreciate the gorgeous view out the front doors when waiting in line to check out... Yes I'm a local but even I can still appreciate their view! read more

I am so annoyed with Target right now. Apparently I came at stocking time (9am on a Monday morning?) because there were boxes and carts and pallets all over the isles. It was ridiculous. You could not shop for anything. Why don't they do this overnight? I understand a few boxes here or there but this was horrible. Then I went to check out and the only lanes open were self check out. No normal lanes were open so I had to scan all of my stuff. I don't mind doing this but I had a lot of items and the computer froze 2 times during my transition. I know this is a totally bitching review and normally I like target but they really need to get it together and start stocking at night. I will no longer go there in the mornings. read more

I used to come all the time with my kids and I rarely do anymore, too many bad experiences. The employees are incredibly rude. Against my better judgement started going again. Once again encountered a rude lady (white hair) at checkout. The stockers also act like I'm in their way trying to get around the store and buy stuff. Not to mentioned they replaced tons of parking with drive up spots that will never ever be fully filled. So sorry for buying products from your store target. Won't be doing it anymore. Oh yeah self checkout is ten items or less now. I mean the amount of crap I end up buying going into the store with two kids! I haven't even mentioned the bad online experiences, completely stopped buying online too. Update: I double checked my receipt which I never do and saw she rang up an item three times instead of two. I had a feeling, coincidence? I think not. Contacted customer service where I jumped through hoops, giving them info multiple times and then they said they would give me a gift card. A gift card when I never bought the item? You really don't trust me over $10? Like I said... they really don't want my business. And they never sent me the gift card because I told them I'm not shopping at target anymore and they wanted to redirect me to someone else, you've wasted enough of my time. Keep the money I guess target, fix your culture of employees that hate customers (and kids) and feed off each others' disdain, I've worked in retail, it's clear the employee training is lacking (and the disdain probably starts at the top). read more

One of our computer speakers went out and we decided to replace it with a new wireless option. I did a lot of comparison shopping online and narrowed it down to a few choices. I was looking a a JBL speaker, and two Bose speakers. I planned on going to Best Buy, but wound up going into Target because they were already opened and I needed some other stuff. I saw all three speakers in their electronics dept. and listened to audio samples. I quickly eliminated the JBL speaker and it was down to 2 Bose speakers. This is where an associate stepped in and offered his opinion on the two speakers and helped me make a choice. He seemed to know his stuff and answered all my questions and seemed super knowledgeable. I am really happy with my choice of speaker. Still wish I had gone to Best Buy because I wound up spending a lot more on my other items in Target! Lol I always overdo it in that store! read more

Target - Choice was made in what speaker to buy. Now all I had to pick was the color I wanted. Went with black. - Department Stores Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

Like any good Target, the deals come and go, and if you're a bit of a sleuth it will pay off big. Came here for the first time yesterday, and found flats for 75% off. I didn't spend my normal 60 + minute circuit here, but I will definitely be coming back. A lot. You come for a pooper scooper, you leave with a new outfit. Once a Target shopper, always a Target shopper. This one is clean, well stocked, and well maintained. Awesome! read more

I walk up to aisle 10. An employee male, TRAVIS, is standing at the end cap fiddling with the merchandise and no one else in line. I ask " are you open"? NO RESPONSE. I ASK AGAIN NICELY " are you open? He never turned to look directly at me but said" my lane light is on and that means it's open" as he continued to fiddle. I know what I should have done was repeat his words back to him and ask if that's what he said, but I started to slam my items on the belt. I was honestly so taken back by how incredibly rude he was, and how long he did not return to his register to help me. TRAVIS, you need a lot of training in customer service. I'm not sure how he was hired here. I thought about asking the return desk for a manager, but I'm sure based on reviews on yelp, the management is as bad unfortunately. I still can't believe he had the nerve to speak that way. read more

Been coming here for years, my wife helped open this store. The changes they've made have been making it more difficult to find what I want/need. Last time I was in to get some more mens clothing the section was mostly empty. I mean it's Target, they have like 80-90% of what you're looking to buy on any given day, which is great. The staff is mostly friendly. They definitely need to improve stocking in the men's clothing and the back corner of the store which seems to rotate themes, but not well. read more
