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

Large store but the price on the shelf NEVER match the scan or online price. I always take pictures of the shelf tag or show the cashier the online price. read more

This place is always so crowded and the store is a disaster it's a mess in every dept Go to another location nearby 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

Target - Pandemic officially over? - Department Stores Near Me - Vista, California

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Of every modern large company that sells products online, Target has to be the worst. I mean absolutely dead-last. Of all the orders I've placed with Target, they legitimately screw up 30% of them. Items are often missing, quantities are incorrect, and things arrived damaged because the warehouse people at Target can't pack a box. My latest attempt at using Target's online store resulted in the entire order being damaged, and not because of FedEx, and it was because Target's people put exactly ZERO effort into the packaging. To make matters worse, the entire order sat in Target's system showing "Damaged / Delayed" for an entire WEEK. And what did Target do about it? Absolutely nothing. They didn't even notify me. These fools at Target just sat on the whole order, allowing it to stay unfulfilled. First, I attempted to use their online portal to fix the issue, which was broken too. So I had to spend another 30 minutes with some clueless CS rep in their online chat. Amusingly, the CS rep said, and I quote, "...without guest angriness, we do not take action." LOL! I appreciate the guy's honesty. Target's customer service person ultimately told me to wait and try again in a few days because he thought that the damaged items would somehow un-damage themselves by waiting. I never did receive my completed order and ultimately just initiated a chargeback with my bank. The best thing you can do against a company that can't get their act together is initiate chargebacks. It costs them a fortune and damages their merchant account. Also: don't shop at Target. High prices and non-existent customer service, and a useless online shopping portal are a trifecta of FAIL. 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

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

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

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

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

Target - Tierra - awesome! - Department Stores Near Me - Vista, California

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

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

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

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

Worse experience at any target I've ever had. There's an employee that I constantly have to avoid in the self check out area whose name I don't know. Since I've walked in this target so many times with my 3 yr old daughter and she knows me, she thinks she can tell me anything while I'm trying to check out and if I don't get some things she makes rude comments. When I went in for Christmas shopping, I was trying to get a lot of things at once so my card didn't go through and she came up to me like I was a criminal. I'm a 43 yr old mother with a Yale degree and professor and my father works in law enforcement, and she said "so what's going on here?" Trying to be intimidating like a bully. Little does she know who I am. I look like just a poor single mother. Anyways so I was trying to explain I needed to look for what I was going to buy and she said "well you should've thought about that before you walked in the store!!!" So I knew she was trying to embarrass me and I wasn't feeling well. So I'm tired of walking in this store and being harassed by her. I talked to the main manager but it didn't help because I just went in last night and she still looked at me and smiled like I see you. It's creepy and weird and I don't think I need to walk into any target store and feel uncomfortable because of a bully employee that probably thinks she is the CEO of the store. Highly don't recommend. Rather drive 40 miles than go to this store again. It's not worth putting myself or my daughter in physical or emotional danger. Security told me to tell them if she bothers me but there's always a different security guard. I just want to be left alone when I go into a target and enjoy it with my little girl. I know target is a corporation and don't care how people get treated by employees but maybe someone will see this and do something about this employee.. she wears glasses and has like copper hair and she's medium height and acts like she is some kind of guard. But shes not. She's just in charge of registers. But shes trying to be intimidating. I'm not intimidated. I just think I shouldn't have to deal with crazy employees and target needs to watch people like her. I'm sure I'm not the only person she harassed. read more

Such a clean easy store friendly staff always appreciated. I love the prices that target has and if you have your red card it's a plus . Always convenient for last minute gifts or daily essentials needed . read more
