I visited this Target today for my regular shopping and stopped by the toy aisle to look for collectibles. An employee was stocking the shelves, which I understand is part of the job. As I was browsing, more customers also entered the toy aisle. A few moments later, another employee (male Asian) approached me and asked if I could wait until they finished stocking before looking at the toys. He told me it was "disrespectful" to browse while they were working, and his tone came across as rude and confrontational. I explained that I wasn't the only customer browsing in the aisle, as several other shoppers were there as well. I was surprised because I was simply shopping during normal business hours. I don't understand how browsing merchandise in an open store could be considered disrespectful while employees are stocking shelves. I've never had this experience at any other Target location. At other Target stores, employees are usually friendly and even ask if I need help while continuing to stock the shelves. If it's important for employees to stock shelves without customers nearby, it would make more sense to do so during closing hours or at less busy times. I hope management reviews this incident and reminds employees to treat customers with courtesy and professionalism. Shopping during regular business hours should never make customers feel unwelcome. read more

I've never had a bad strawberry from Target. Employees are super friendly! Selection is awesome, it's just expensive (but we already knew that) read more

This review is mainly for the return department. It was a breeze! There was no haste in returning an item that I used but it just wasn't to my liking. I had the receipt ready in the application and all the cashier had to do was scan it. And vol la the return credit will go straight back to my target card. Decent prices and deals throughout the store. I had a found everything that I needed in its designated isle. Easy peasy visit. And this day there were several cashiers working. It's apparently Pokémon season so there were lots of staff on hand. read more

The reviews here seem to be very mixed, but I have only had good experiences. I have ordered items for pick up in store with zero issues, I have wandered gone for specific things and also just wandered around the store browsing. Today, I needed one last thing for Thanksgiving. I searched online and it said they had one left. I was a bit hesitant as other times I have trusted other stores online inventory only to find they were out. I looked to see where it was in the store before I went in. To my surprise, it wasn't very busy, this day before thanksgiving. I found close parking easily. I walked in and walked to the grocery section found the aisle and there it was, exactly what I needed with one left. I was happily surprised, especially since I had a really bad experience at another target recently. The store was clean and well organized. Not the mess I've seen at many other locations. I took my item and went to the checkouts. I wasn't sure if the self checkout kiosks took cash, so I got in line in a regular line. Unfortunately, although there weren't many people, they had many items. I saw an employee walk by so I asked her if any of the self checkout kiosks took cash. She was so nice and friendly and explained that one side of the kiosks did indeed take cash. I proceeded to the self check out, rang up my item and paid cash. I even got change. It was really easy and I was out the door. I will continue to visit this location in the future. read more

I haven't went to target recently due to the prices but when I do go I always come out happy. My kids always ask to go play in the little frozen area. A little screen for little kids to watch and hang out for a short period of time. If you haven't been to this target go when you have a chance. read more

Really large Target kind of in the middle of nothing. But, they have a Starbucks in here if you want some of their goods along with a full Target store with groceries, etc. Very clean store, bathroom immediately on your left as you enter. Darn near the size of a larger Walmart but cleaner that most of those I have been in. Only odd thing I notice near the registers is that they have the usual grab and go items like candy, cold drinks, etc. While they did have a nice selection of sodas, on the day I was there, I didn't see a single Diet Pepsi in those refrigerators. Other types of Pepsi, just not the normal diet. Other than that, great story, easy parking, huge selection. Enjoy! read more

Do yourself a favor and don't ever do a pickup here. They take an absurdly long time to bring out your stuff!!! Going on 20 min sitting here and I sent the "I'm on my way" notification when I was 10 min away! read more

Thank you Sean and Alex for your help with my husbands glasses. Their customer service is awesome I wish everywhere I went I had customers service like this. A lot of it with new generation has gone thru the window but not here and I love it. Thank you guys... read more

I am in a wheelchair and as I got to this target, I realize that I could not get my wheelchair out on my own of the car. I called customer service and they said they would have someone come out and bring one of their automatic scooters to me. James was so kind and brought it out with a big smile on his face and I felt so much relief that I was able to still do my errand. Kathleen help me check out and was also so kind and helpful. It's nice to know that there are people out there that still care and will be helpful when someone is in need. read more

Worst customer service. I highly suggest going to the Target off Sycamore, Vista, which is well stocked, and the employees are more than willing to assist with questions, in a friendly manner. read more

Very uncaring staff. Honestly, one of the hardest companies to give money to. If you stumble upon an employee, they probably won't work in the department you need help in. That's been my experience. Also, what is the point of locking up an item, then, when you finally find a person to unlock the item, they just hand it to you to walk up front and pay? Makes no sense. The store is clean and looks pretty organized. Just wish the assistance was as good. read more

Good target location and is well stocked but man, their check out process is terrible. Long lines at 10am and they keep all their self check out closed. They have a policy change to do between hrs of 10am to 8pm. I'm here at 10:45am and still closed. I have to wait in these really long lines to buy one item. This target location used to be really good and efficient. Now, it's hassle to come and shop at this location. read more

Wow what an amazing Target location, hiding all the way up in Vista, big parking lot, and huge warehouse, they got everything super fully stocked, minus a few unorganized shelves, but looks like not a lot of people would travel far to check out the place, because they have a lot of stuffs on clearance, I mean great deals, definitely worth the time and for toy hunting you're in the right place read more

This Target is great! It is probably one of the nicer I have ever been to (and I have been to a lot of Targets, ha!) The store was very big and almost seemed like a Super Target. All of the workers were very friendly and helpful when needed. The store was also very clean and well stocked. We would love to come back to this Target more often! read more

I used to really like this Target because it was secluded and less busy. Now it's like any other Target. Had to drive out here from the Oceanside East location because they didn't have Zollipops. They also supposedly had Kite Hill almond based yogurt sticks and neither store carried it... bummer! So many dairy options, we need more dairy-free options for kids. The store itself is clean, plenty of parking, has a Starbucks inside. Please carry more vegan friendly products. read more

I love this target , very clean , but be mindful when you purchase your item , it's a different price on the shelf than it is on the register. Keep in mind and double check (: read more

They close at 10pm on the weekdays but their fitting room is closed before 8pm and only 2 registers were open. Self checkout was closed too. It's ridiculous. read more

Welll they really stepped up there drive up wait time. This morning Evan delivered my order to my car very fast. The store is always stocked and everyone here is very friendly. Kim and Evan are wonderful. It's a very clean store. Very organized. They have optical w/Optometrist on site. Lots of great frames. CVS pharmacy and I wrote a separate review about this staff. They are awesome too. I saw an Ulta being constructed but haven't seen it in a while ‍ read more

Target - Drive up - Department Stores Near Me - Vista, California

the store is extremely convenient, being located one block from where I work. but they have taken a stand for racism, sexism and homophobia as their company policy (standing against diversity, equality and inclusivity) so I'll have to start shopping elsewhere despite their cleanliness and convenience. I called them today at 1-800-440-0680 to express my distress at their lack of empathy and compassion toward people of other races, genders or respect for their civil rights. The customer service assistant was extremely polite, taking down my name and email address to add to the list they would send to upper management as feedback for their new policy. read more

jane went above and beyond to help me find a cowboy hat in the clothing section. (i needed this for a daddy/daughter dance that was happening that afternoon) she went in the back to look and even opened boxes that had just arrived. the daddy/daughter dance was a big success. thanks jane! read more

Why take the time to review a large national chain? They are all pretty much the same and target is great but i had to leave a review because of an employee who is truly amazing. Coco is the friendliest and most pleasant checker. If i see her working I'm always hitting up her line. It takes me back to the time when people were nice to one another. Forget basic customer service she is going above and beyond. She is so sweet and real. I hope management reads and values this employee. read more

There's just something to having time to just stroll through Target and find items you need. From time to time, the Clearance section which is at the end of certain isles, you find great deals. This is a typical Target. Well organized and clean. It never disappoints. Definitely will be back regularly. read more

Do not purchase a visa gift card from target or any other target. The card was tampered with but the store clerk and management "helpfully" let me know that Target no longer refunds money, even though it was purchased the same day and the card was clearly tampered with. (I was told it's a new policy starting 1/1/2023) why would target sell something that they know is an issue. Very very disappointing. @target you can do better. If it's an issue then stop selling visa gift cards. read more

I've ran into this worker at least 2 times before-- next time I'll get his name! He works at the returns desk and he is always KIND FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL! Thank you [Target Worker Name]! Ps he has longer hair, an eye brow piercing and a septum piercing-- YOURE WONDERFUL read more

Sabrina went ABOVE AND BEYOND customer service helping me find a product that wasn't even on the shelves yet. She checked other stores and found it but did a last minute double check in the back and FOUND IT!!! Incredibly impressed with her willingness to help! I wish more people were like her :) read more

This is my go to Target which I happily replaced from the Encinitas location. Love how easy it is for drive up pick up and how efficient the workers are. Recently I had purchased a pick up through the app that included 2 promotional $15 gift card. Me not understanding how it works I was confused when I noticed my card was charged the total of the purchase but split up in 3 transactions. Two being $15 which made me think I actually paid for the gift cards. When I talked to one of the most empathetic, respectful and just plain great people at guest services I understood that my total was correct and the gift cards are discounted from the items. read more

Excellent staff. Especially Jackson. Honestly, what a lad. Impeccable service from him as he was flawlessly restocking the shelves. If I could give 6- no, 10 stars, I would, just for this absolute chad unit of 100% homegrown customer service. read more

Your check out service was outstanding at Target at Business Park! The check out advocate was engaging and knowledgeable!

I've never encountered an unpleasant associate here, including Rachel who happily (I'm not kidding...with a SMILE!), helped me clean up my kid's puke in the middle of the store. Hey, it happens and when it does, it's always unexpected, fast, and furious. The customer service is unbeatable here. I've always found exactly what I'm looking for, never crowded, easy to navigate! I'll be back! read more

Writing this review just to shoutout the woman who rang me up today. I believe her name is Sharon. She was just incredibly personable and kind. That's it. Because of that, I'll shop this Target now. Thanks for being a great human and employee Sharon :) read more

PHOTO DEPARTMENT: Tierra is the nicest employee I've met here so far! I called in twice to make sure my photos were processing - Tierra answered with a very helpful and polite attitude, then when I came in to pick up my order she acknowledged it was me and had a wonderful fresh smile on her face (even though it was 7pm). I thought to myself: 'She must be a new employee', come to find out she's been there over a year. Great job in finding such a great customer service employee Target! And Tierra, keep it up. Good things will come to you! BEAUTY DEPT: All I needed was a night cream - as I walked down an isle I was greeted by a 'Hello! Can I help you find anything?' To be honest, it kind of took me aback, in a good way! Whenever I need help I always have to go looking for someone and they're usually in another department. This girl's name is TIFFANY. She explained she's part of Target's new BEAUTY CONCIERGE and will walk you through and suggest certain products that would best suit your needs. From make-up to hair. She's worked at other large department stores in their beauty department, so she's super knowledgeable and customer savvy. Tiffany and I chatted it up about different questions I've had (like, why is BB creams so popular now etc . . . ) and she's now there for you! Say HI to Tiffany next time you're in Target Vista South! I've been to Target thousands of times, like all the rest of us, but on this certain trip, I was surprisingly impressed. This'll be my new 'Home Target'. read more

This if my favorite Target to shop at in the Vista, Carlsbad, San Marcos, Escondido area.They are all good, great prices, friendly staff, good service but this one is close by, large parking lot, not overwhelmingly crowded, and usually it is very very clean. This one also offers groceries and the prices are pretty competitive. They also have free WiFi and a Starbucks inside. They always have what I am looking for in stock! read more

Like last time, the CS girls walking around seemed like they were enslaved into their jobs, we were met with obvious sighs after asking any simple question. Most of their answers were "i dont know" or "it should say it on the sign," without looking up at us anyway. I dont know when openly playing on/using your phone while on the clock started being allowed, but bc of that, the girls at the dressing rooms last night couldn't be bothered to help us either: "just go in and make sure you bring the stuff you dont want back out here." *back to phone gossip* The stars are for the guys in the tech center --enthusiastic, knowledgeable and happier than ever to help me and my husband find non-iPhone components in their section. Also, for a clean store and the helpfulness from the older ladies at the guest services desk when I needed help finding a price! Not that its saying much, but I might as well be at a Walmart expecting yuck employees than Target expecting nice ones. read more

I was shopping at this Target branch the other day when I asked the self-checkout clerk for help and she treated me very badly. I do not recommend this Target branch to anyone read more

Shoutout to Ivan in Guest Services! I was missing items from my Drive-Up order but didn't notice til I got home. I called the store and Ivan was so helpful! He is the real deal when it comes to hospitality, solving problems and being kind and respectful along the way. He went above and beyond! Thank you, Ivan! read more

This target is top notch. I love the drive up pick up all the people who come out and bring the items are really nice. This target is so much better than Encinitas target. I just don't understand they should all be similar but this target I prefer going to by far! Thanks for offering this service! read more

This Target is way better than the other local ones because it's more hidden, so it's far less crowded. Plus, because there are less people here, the selection of products is way better and the shelves are more full. Especially compared to the El Camino Real location. This is definitely my go-to Target and if you're willing to drive the extra 10 minutes or so I think it's worth the time to have a better chance at finding the things you want to buy! read more

The Target staff that works at the Pizza Hut inside the store are lazy. We were there at 6pm tonight (they close at 8pm) and asked to order a personal pan pizza. The girl said they do not have any and refused to make more. My husband looked at her, well you close at 8 though, it's not like it is close to closing time. She refused and just stood there. If you're not going to make any food why are you standing there doing nothing? Cut payroll and take your ass home. This is the third time this has happened. Great store, but terrible user experience with your food court! read more
