I go in and shop mostly for groceries without being bugged. Their food area isn't as large as many of the other stores in the area yet they still have a decent selection of fresh and frozen foods. The fresh raspberries have flavor, when I can get there before they are bought up, the large avocados are great. Smaller ones are okay but I like the big bass avocados the best. A lot of the common things one buys in a market are on either side heading back to the checkout stand. For the single person looking for toss in the microwave and eat options it's fine. Only 4 pre-made salad options and for an old farm boy like me, iceberg lettuce is too common an element of salads. The cilantro salad is going to be my lunch meal. We'll see about if it's a 7 or higher. No one suddenly carries spinach salads but they have many ingredients to put on one, including bags of fresh baby spinach. Oh, and the A/C works in the store too! People there are usually helpful if you have questions. The only thing I miss is having pre-boiled egg packs on hand. read more

Target - Typical freezer case. (I should have taken the photo before I loaded my cart with the savings) - Department Stores Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Target is my store for a lot of things, including the all natural bamboo toilet paper brand REEL. I love that at this Tacoma location, they offer the big box, and smaller 4-pack. My local one does not carry that smaller package. It's also where I get my decently priced all natural gummy snacks. They'll usually have more than one brand to choose from. And by using the Target card, you get 5% off along with any pre-selected coupons and offers. With so many deals, why wouldn't you get the card. read more

Tried to call to speak to a manager at 9:20pm about an issue for granddaughter who was returning to the store with $500 cash, so they could help her get in and get her purchases after having issues with her credit card not working. They told her if she didn't get back with her payment that night before 10:00, they would put all her things back and she would have to search them out again. I couldn't get through to anyone, no answer or someone hung up. So I asked to be transferred from the electronics line and asked to speak to a manager and they put be on hold and then hung up on me. Spent over 30 minutes trying to talk with someone and only able to talk with one clerk who wasn't interested in helping and was the one who put me on hold. So very poor customer service. read more

Went for vodka, face razors, body razors, and aftershave. Had to wait for an associate at each stop of the way at a glass case. Then I wait in line and self checkout and after I get to the end and finish bagging all my stuff they tell me no alcohol in self checkout. I say sorry I didn't realize, she asks if I wanna continue. I said yes? She takes the alcohol and makes me wait in line and checkout seperate for it. I get that rules are rules but this whole experience has been so ridiculous and time wasting I am never coming back! Treated like a criminal. Best way to reduce sales? Keep everything behind a glass case and make people wait 5+ minutes for help. At this point they gotta give me a personal shopper with keys cause everything is behind a case these days read more

I have been shopping at this Target for 10 years but not very much in the past couple years. There are two main reasons. First, they now lock up personal care items and you have to buzz for a clerk to show up and unlock the case. I don't feel comfortable trying to look at labels and compare items with a harried and impatient clerk breathing down my neck, and I definitely am not going to have a clerk handing me feminine hygiene and family planning items. Second, the variety of merchandise has gone down. I went in yesterday to pick up hummus and gluten-free crackers for a meeting. They had neither. No hummus? What's up with that? What a waste of 15 minutes, walking around looking for hummus and then for a clerk to verify for me that they no longer carry hummus. So that's the end of my relationship with Target. If you want to buy a bunch of fuzzy crop-tops or cheap plastic accessories, this is your place. If you're just trying to pick up basic food and household items, good luck. Bye-bye, Target. read more

My family and I stopped by for some odds and ends while visiting Tacoma from out of state. I'm not sure if this store is closing soon or if they have missed multiple shipments of product, but there were so many empty shelves! The layout of the store was also weird- haphazard displays and a large area right in the middle of the store full of boxes furniture. One of the things I have loved about Target nationwide is how aesthetically pleasing the store is-with nice displays of products. But here, everything was still in boxes and dumped into a pile. Very off-putting. Very off-target. read more

Target - So many bare shelves - Department Stores Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

I normally enjoy buying things at Target. The store is always cleaner than Walmart. Items are usually easy to find and competitively priced. At this Target the shelf tags are wrong (lower) than what is charged about 4 out of 10 times!!! Clerks never offer to have an item price checked or honor the posted price. They also deceptively leave old sale tags up. It happens so much, it makes me wonder if it is intentional to take advantage of shoppers. Also, five minutes before closing staff badger shoppers to line up at the check stand where only one or two clerks are working. Hurry up and wait. I don't get paid to shop, so don't treat me like a lazy employee! And stop overcharging people! read more

Your basic tarjay. They do have lots of security at this store. When I was visiting the store they were updating the shop online and car pick up area. Every health item seemed to be locked up and you would need to call someone to help. Normal target layout. This store has implemented the modern open concept. Employees were nice. I did see a homeless person taking a bird bath in the bathroom. read more

I was in the Tacoma area to run a marathon, so I stopped in here to buy some drinks. Everything was well organized in the drinks section, so the items that I was looking for were easy to find. The prices were also pretty reasonable. Since I only had a couple of items, I got in line to use one of the self checkout kiosks. It was a quick and easy transaction which is on par with almost every Target that I've visited. read more

1. Really poor executive decisions. Top-heavy, short-sighted and irresponsible corporate structure and management. 2. Target changed my bill delivery preferences without my permission, then charged a late fee when I did not receive a statement. 3. A curious lack of accountability and customer care These are the reasons I will be cancelling my Target accounts and abandoning Target stores. Wake up Target - it's a new world, where your actions will be accounted for. read more

There were several items I wanted that were locked up under key and no one came to help me open up the case after ten minutes of waiting. So they lost $100 from me of potential purchases. It's one thing to lock stuff up, but at least staff the store during the five o'clock rush to have staff available to assist. I'm not going to beg. read more

RIDICULOUS!!! NINE registers and only TWO are open!! This is not poor customer service it's NO customer service!! The lines are so long even in the self checkout and this isn't even to ghetto Target! I never shop alt Walmart because I refuse to endure this same frustration............Get it together Target!! read more

This Target does not have a great customer service, the employees seem to be unfriendly every time we visit. The prices are also a bit inflated for the value of what you are purchasing and the selection of items is pretty limited. read more

Everytime I try to get something out of the lock cabinets and hit the call sensor, no one shows up. I wasted about 25 mins of my time standing there and asking multiple people to open the lock. Either no one has the keys or no one bothers to show up. Super frustrating. read more

This used to be a good Target before the remodel. I feel like management, the employees, and corporate have just given up on this location. I went in this morning at opening and the place was in complete disarray, everything is a mess, empty shelves, the placement of products and the lay out makes it difficult to find anything. I once looked forward to going to Target, now it just gives me anxiety. This place is giving the Dollar Tree next door a run for its money. read more

I generally don't go to this location unless I'm on this side of town, which I was this time. I'm not sure what the issue is but ever since they remodeled the store is always trashed and staff looks miserable. This store opens at 8 am I was in there at 10. There are never any employees cleaning or straightening merchandise. This mess did not happen in the first 2 hours of them being open. The management team should be embarrassed at the appearance of their store. read more

Tall white lady in customer service / exchange was very unprofessional. Huffing & puffing in front of customers nonstop? So unnecessary & talking to her employees very rude. Seemed to be a manager or lead but her attitude should not be allowed. Was waiting for almost 10 minutes just to exchange something without her approaching us in any way while we just watched her complain & pout while being rude to other workers the whole time. waited not knowing when we would be helped. Also right before the holidays... 0/10 experience read more

I have to say that every time I come in here, I am frustrated by the mess, the significant amount of beauty products that are out-of stock, and the outrageously long lines. I felt like I was back at home surrounded by mess that I needed to clean up. My partner wanted to buy something behind a case, and rang the bell to get help, but after waiting about 10 minutes we decided to just leave. Not sure what's up here, because many other target locations are pleasant to shop through. read more

My last review from a few years ago was a two star review. Since then it's gotten worse and my visits here are so much less frequent. Part of it was with item availability which has been an ongoing situation for years here. Stops made here were for very basic items. They would have like detergents or health and beauty supplies which I knew they had. Right now the place is going through a remodel and while it looks like it's heading towards the end of it it is a hot mess. Softlines (clothing) is the worst of all with organization. The men's section gets sandwiched between the women's section which makes no sense. Detergents are confusing to find too. Certain departments don't even have signage so you don't even know where they are. The book section for example. Just terrible. I don't know if they plan to rearrange everything yet again when the remodel is done or what but they definitely took several steps backwards. Other neighboring cities have Targets and I think I'll go to those for what looks like an indefinite period of time. Item availability seems to be better at those stores as well. read more

We lost our 2 yr old's "binky" and went to T and they saved the day‼ Got a few other items and they never disappoint TY‼

Target are you ok? We stopped at this location about 2 weeks ago on a Saturday afternoon. The place was dirty, racks and shelves either bare or disorganized. We were looking for a Bluetooth speaker to take with us on a trip and the electronics department or what's left of it was empty. No employees, barely any product. It honestly looked like the store was closing and/or was ransacked. read more

I ordered 3 books online for pickup for the first time. Everything went smoothly until I looked at the books later on after I had already left. Upon looking at my books I found several stickers that are notorious for being hard to take off not only on the backs of the books but also on the front cover over the title. I may be over reacting just a bit because I love books so much but I don't want to buy a book that is defaced in any way, especially not with stickers that leave residue. If you decide to get a book from Target make sure you don't get it for pick up unless you want it a little ruined read more

They lock all of their laundry detergent behind a glass case. The store remodel a year ago is a disaster. The shelves are always empty. The men's clothing section is bras. This store is a joke. Corporate policies have wrecked this once successful location with their mistreatment of staff and poor sense of design aesthetics. Pay your workers well, give them decent hours, and fire all these corporate goons and ceos wrecking the world. read more

Went to North Tacoma for my son's birthday to buy some Legos. He picked out a set on the shelves but we had to wait over 20 minutes for someone to come unlock the cabinet. At checkout, the register flagged the set as being unable to be sold until 8/1. The cashier and the supervisor were sympathetic but the manager was VERY unsympathetic and indifferent to our issue. She kept telling us there was nothing they could do for us even as my son looked at her sadly with his birthday money in hand. We are never coming back to this store. read more

Worst store service ever. Club soda locked in alcohol and no staff to open the case after a long wait. Plenty of target staff filling to-go or pick up service. So not a store for in-store shopping. Never again here. read more

I am tired. Just tired. I have ordered using drive-up several times and it's been...okay. However, four times now I have ordered a certain item - app says it's in stock - and they cancel it because it's out of stock. I get it. People buy stuff. Cool. But each time they cancel I don't get a notice of the cancellation for hours. Can you tell me it's cancelled when it's actually canceled? May not sound like a big deal but it matters. And PS - I do find it a little hard to believe that the last 4 times I've tried to order this item, the app says it's in stock and apparently in the two hours it takes to fulfill my order, the items have mysteriously disappeared. Your inventory tracking is obviously a bit off. And another thing - it would be really nice if I could actually get ahold of someone when I call the store!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Answer your phones! read more

The store is always clean. Feels like it's never fully stocked. I guess everyone wants what I want. The lack of stars on my review however is due to there always being an employee sitting on the ground looking homeless at the front door every time I enter. It just looks trashy and unprofessional. For 15 dollars an hr you'd think they uphold some kind of standard. Updating, because I saw some employee looking homeless smoking cigarettes by the entrance again. It's sad that the Walmart employees look less trashy. read more

Bought a jar of pickles from them and wondered why all my groceries smelled like pickle. Juice was leaking from the sides and I guess there's something extra pickling in the jar. It was one of the few jars that was stocked on the bare shelf so i didn't have much choice. I wouldn't advise even walking through the grocery aisle. You never know what other moldy stuff they have hiding in the corners. read more

I go to this Target several times a week. Today I had to restock the kids lunch supplies for school. While I was at the self-check out one of the employees asked to look inside my small crossbody bag. I let her look but I was very offended. No one wants to feel like they're being accused of stealing. when I realized she wasn't checking any of the other women around me I said loudly, "Are you checking everyone's bag or just mine?" Then she promptly started asking everyone around me. I will not shop here anymore if this is the new store policy. read more

I love target, I spend a lot of time and money here as a red card member, but I was not impressed with all the empty shelves at this location. At 9:30am on a Friday there were so many unstocked areas of the store but especially the groceries causing very limited selection. Otherwise, the service was friendly and it wasn't too busy. read more

I am also guilty of being a Target shopaholic. I can never spend my money on just the one thing i need. This location is great. Although it's in an extremely congested shopping plaza, parking is vastly available. They do offer drive up orders, which I've done once before. They make it very easy and convenient. Order through their app, pay, and follow the instructions for pick up. The app asks for you to alert the store when you're on the way. Once you're there, click on the next button that says "I'm here", and there will be a team member to meet you. You will be required to give them a code to ensure you are who you say you are before they hand you the goods. The store itself is large, with plenty of cashiers, they have self check out stations, and a Starbucks to reward yourself after your trip. I appreciate their customer service. They will go above and beyond, make sure if a transaction is incorrect, they will fix it ASAP, or even make small talk while they ring you up. I personally use coupons when i shop here sometimes, and i praise Target so much on this, because they abide by those rules and their own coupon policies. Target has amazing deals in all of their departments at certain times. Especially when you get a Target gift card when you spend X amount of dollars on certain products. The reason for my 4 out of 5 stars is because their meat/veggie/frozen section is usually limited or out of something. Not sure if it's just my luck when i go, or if it's a normal thing. Aside from that, the store is pretty clean, you can find almost everything you need in one store, and you will want to come back. Don't forget to use your Target red card (credit/debit) if you have it. You can save an extra 5%. Happy shopping! read more

This is the only Target and major business in the Tacoma area that I have noticed continually has a long line out in stores due to Covid measures and occupancy limits. The manager told me that this location is much bigger than the Lakewood store though the Lakewood store had no line out in stores the same exact night I went. If it's a bigger store you would be able to have more people in it at the same time. I don't understand it they're just being lazy or super extra careful and going by their own rules as far as The occupancy numbers go. It's a huge hassle especially for families and kids or young babies that have to stand out in the cold or rain and wait. They need to review the policies and consider better way to take care of their customers. read more

When going to a target I have high expectations because every visit is usually a decent one. However, this is probably one of the worst targets I've been to. The energy in there was not pleasing and when approaching our cashier, "Jill" she told us to back up and was mean mugging us the whole time. It's not that hard to give good customer service. read more

One of the worst stores I have ever shopped at. I did the drive-up order to pick up groceries for dinner tonight and ordered it at 10:08 which is about an hour before the stores closes. I show up and am sitting outside and still have not received my groceries. I call the customer service here and they tell me that it takes up to 4 hours for them to get it processed so I will not be able to get my groceries till tomorrow morning. No where on the app did it say that it would take up to 4 hours. I then asked if I can just come in and grab them myself since I already paid for them and she told me that I am unable to do that because it's not processed and there is nothing she can do. Shame on this location for such terrible service. read more

I have never been a fan of Target until I started couponing - oh please, don't hate (and no, I'm not one of those couponers that clear out shelves, nor do I hold up lines). They have a bunch of coupons (cartwheel, mobile/ad coupons) that you can use on top of each other which is great because you can actually save more money. Imagine all the sales and promotions they have when I use those coupons together! Score! Besides the fact that they have good deals, they also have great quality products unlike their blue competitor. I was a fan of Walmart back in the days (aka six months ago) but after experiencing the Target experience, I haven't been the same since. As for the store and the location, it's pretty decent. Customer service is good. A lot of the workers on the floor are super friendly. They always ask me if I need any assistance. I do get annoyed when a bunch of them ask me for help and I don't need it, but when I actually need help, no one is around. I'm glad they have those red phones for assistance. Anyway, I've only experienced bad service twice, both cashiers. At first they were nice but after they saw be bust out my coupons from my wallet, their smiles disappeared and a sassy tone miraculously appeared, on both occasions. I hate that I have to now stereotype when I look for cashiers but I got to do what I got to do to have a smooth, headache-less transaction. No regrets! read more
