We were looking for a Lego set for my son and this was the closest location that still had one to us. I placed the order online Sunday night and it was ready for pick up Monday morning. Close to the freeway, easy to get to, and plenty of parking. We walked up to the Customer Service booth and they scanned our barcode and brought out the Legos. Easy peasy! Great Customer Service as well. I know we didn't spend much time here but was a successful trip for sure! read more

Came here specifically because it had something in stock that I was specifically looking for. They only had two left. Both were damaged and dirty but they offered me a discount at the register so that was worth it. Most things I've gotten have generally lasted a long while. I use my circle account and target card to get the deals. I'm always on the lookout for the clearance and it definitely doesn't hurt to ask when you see something that isn't quite right with the products on hand. They handled it perfectly and with no hassle or hesitation. read more

I love the selection of items at Target, and I also appreciate the addition of ULTA. The employees here are always friendly and helpful. I especially enjoy how easy it is to find discounted items--from office supplies and decorations to so much more! Target does a great job rotating their sales, and Target Circle offers additional discounts, making shopping even more cost-effective. Parking is also a breeze! This location on University Drive has a spacious lot. read more

Watch out for the grinch that works at Starbucks at this location inside target. Almost all Starbucks employees are nice and greet you with a good attitude but not on this location. There is a blonde tall older lady that has a nasty attitude. Lady, if you don't like your job or being around people then maybe you should be working in the back. I had a couple of questions and each time she would answer me with a short answer with an attitude, like if I was bothering her. This is part of your job, not sure why companies place people like her in the front. read more

Pokémon cards. We all know it's rough out here. limit of two? No sign in the back. You should probably put one back there. I see that the front is empty I don't bother. Walk straight to the back so I didn't see any sign. Is this what you're telling everyone? 5 is a reasonable limit for single packs. employee was respectful and honored my 5 packs. But another employee the next day was ready to fight me. I was polite but she didn't even hear the words coming out of me. Very disrespectful. Put a sign in the back! I understand there's scalpers out there but this is not how to go about it for the normal public that's just collecting for fun. read more

I always love shopping at Target, however, I hate going by the electronics section these days. STOP TRYING TO GET ME TO SIGN UP FOR AT&T!! I ALREADY HAVE IT! So annoying! read more

Worse Target I went. Spend a lot of money on items and was not allow to keep an empty. Very poor staffing.

Love all Targets!! They have Ulta products now and you save with the target circle! Plus they have a neat selection with associates who help you find products so you get in and out without having to do tons of research. The cashiers are also fun! They told me to add the circle to get up to 10 percent off instead of just 5 percent off! Plus it was near closing time and he was willing to help me save money! Thank you!! read more

Not the first time I was in this Target, not sure why I didn't leave a review last time, maybe I forgot or was too busy checking out their stuffs, because they do have tons of them, 80% not quite what I was looking for, but still give me extra time to kill here, since it is the super neat location, this is the second time I saw all three stores Ross, Walmart and Target are in the same shopping center, the amount of time I spent at each place was equally great, and Target has no exception, I just have to dig deeper to find what I want read more

I like target, actually love Target but this one is poorly ran. The wait is forever for pick up, purchase, or returns. I've never experienced this at any other Target. Managers here do not seem to be efficient and makes customer wait a long time (10+ mins to come to the counter). Long lines. Probably will find a different location to shop. read more

What a great experience we had at Target this weekend. For someone who does not like shopping, the visit made me feel comfortable. We ran in for a few items. The ability to locate things was easy and predictable. The pricing was easy on the wallet. Best of all, the cashier made such an impression on us that we will be going back to this particular store in the future. read more

Target - Even LB had a good time - Department Stores Near Me - Vista, California

Target's online eCommerce logistics and shipping department is an unmitigated and perpetual disaster. If you're short on time and don't want to read this review, check out my pictures because you'll get the point. I used to be a regular Target customer until I started trying to order from them online. Out of every two online orders, one of them will have missing items, broken items, missing packages, or the items will be filthy. That said, I have to ask: is Target's warehouse outdoors in a dirt pit? Because receiving items covered in dirt, grime, and assorted gunk is the norm; Amazon and Walmart don't have this problem. If you look closely at my pictures, you can see what appears to be lotion on some items, dirt, stains, and just nastiness. Oh, and Target's warehouse staff? Don't get me started. Actually, I'm pretty fired up, so let's continue this tirade... The warehouse people at Target are the most careless of any company selling via e-commerce in my vast experience. And I've been ordering online since back when Amazon only sold books. Target's warehouse people literally dump everything into a box with no padding or protection. Heavy items damage smaller items, and items with liquid break and leak constantly. Did you see those pictures I just attached? That's fabric softener that spilled over everything. The fabric softener is mixed with liquid dish soap that also leaked. Do you have any idea how hard it is to clean up spilled fabric softener and dish soap? To add insult to injury, Target has already denied our refund. They want us to haul all of this filthy crap back to one of their stores for processing. But I have a better idea... I'm going to post these reviews all over and cancel my Target.com account. I've already signed up for Walmart+, which gives me free shipping and a bunch of other benefits for only $13 a month. Final note: Target is much more expensive in-store than online. They've really become a trash company over the course of the last four years, and this is the last time I ever give them my business. PS When Target gets nasty press (like this review lol), their "Customer Experience" team will reach out and try and smooth things over. They have contacted me on three past occasions, and they're absolutely useless. So if you ever deal with these Customer Experience people, don't buy into any of their BS. They will waste your time, and none of the underlying issues will ever be solved. read more

I went into my preferred target today to take advantage of the special offer I saw in my inbox... but when I got to the checkout, I found out I had to have the app...so I got out of line and was trying to set it up and the manager approached me to see if I needed help...super nice to get that assistance and he gave me a courtesy pass so I could finish the app at home Talk about customer service !

Like this Target because of the location. It's located right off the freeway at Sycamore and 78 so it's easy to get to and if you can't find what you need you just drive across the street go to the Walmart. They have self-service checkouts too. but what I don't love about this location - the lines are always long. Hence the 3 star rating. It seems they never have enough cashiers at the registers. It always seems like 50 people are in line at the one or two opened registers and a line of people waiting at the self check out so whether it's the fact that they're just not fast or they just don't have enough staff I'm not sure but that's my biggest concern because it takes longer than It should to check out. They've done a recent renovations so the departments are moved around slightly so things aren't where they used to be if you if you if it's been a while since you've shopped in there I'm so may take you longer longer it's mostly in the clothing area I didn't really say a whole lot changing groceries and stuff like that but our beauty. Can't use coupons on self-checkout read more

The WORST customer service ever!!! I regret not getting the cashiers name!! Absolutely nasty ! They were talking about our family as we walked away to complete a total to get a coupon that we ended up not even getting!! The cashier said "it'll pop up when you pay" wth????? I even told her it wouldn't!! And guess what?!! It didn't!!!! It was $25 off which for some might not seem like a lot but it is when you're starting up a new family! I had my baby with me.. we were super nice and friendly towards her so for her to talk about us with her co worker is so rude!! As we walked up the co worker said "they're coming! They're right there." Like are you serious!? It wasn't even young girls they were the oldest ones I've seen work there! As grown women I would expect more ! How unprofessional!! I guess I was the idiot for paying even though I knew it wasn't how it worked!! I am so upset at the fact that she was rude ! Not the $$ but her attitude! I'm a a manager at a restaurant so I know customer service and would NEVER be rude and give misleading information about something if I didn't know! I will be calling corporate because this is so unacceptable and hurting !! I will never shop at this location again! And I will be coming in and asking for a manager first thing in the morning! read more

Drive up service has improved a bit, but I still check to make sure everything I ordered was included. Customer service at the returns counter is better too. They have a new Ulta section, the selection is limited but they have more brands now, although they don't have the full line. read more

Only giving two stars because they had the product I wanted, but then they would not sell it to me. I found the hint water, in the water department and saw that they had packs of whole hint water, so I put two in my cart. I think I even saw the price tag of the whole case. I go up to check out, and the cashier tells me I cannot buy a pack of this water because they are sold only individually. I asked why were the packs there, and she responds "somebody didn't do their job". The price for each bottle water was about a dollar fifty, and the case itself was about $5.50. Talk about lame service & huge profit gain for them. Whack. read more

This review is only for the worker Susi in the cosmetics/bath section that helped my family out tonight. I was looking for a specific item and she looked it up for me, was very kind and then I needed something unlocked and she came without making me wait forever (usually happens here). she was so sweet I wanted to leave her a tip but they can't accept them!!! I'd leave her a good review on the survey but I lost my receipt :( read more

My fondest memory of this Greatland Target was a over a year ago. For Christmas, I purchased three new bikes for the kids here. I also bought a bunch of other stuff including bike helmets. A month goes by and I'm getting ready for the big day, but I can't find the bike helmets. Nowhere. I did pay for them, but I never remember seeing them since I put them on the conveyor belt. I left them behind at the store....... Sheepishly, I returned to Target and told them my story and said I must of left them bagged at the cashier. Even though a month had gone by they said no problem and they credited me new helmets. Talk about great service. - The circle out front is great for kid pictures. - MiaBella is a good place to stop for a treat after shopping at this Target. read more

My review is on CVS pharmacy. Terrible customer service. I waited over an hour for a pharmacist to come back from lunch even though I was told he's at lunch for only 30 minutes. No one knows when they go for lunch and come back, the technician was rude and obnoxious. I end up waiting close to two hours. Extremely disorganized, do not go there. Disgusting. read more

Our go-to favorite place for all things household. We are also starting to pick up some organic grocery items and staples as well. Haven't quite got on board with wearing Target apparel but there are always people shopping these aisles. The product mix, the staff, the clientele-- all a bit more upscale. You won't see many sweat pants with the word "Princess" emblazoned across the backside, like you see at the WalMart close by. And if you get the "Red Card" - their private branded credit or debit card - you'll get 5% off of everything. There's nothing more to be said that hasn't been said already... I can only add this: Five Fun things to do in a Target 1) walk up to an employee and tell him in an official voice "I think we've got a code 3 in housewares " and see what happens 2) put random things in other people's carts 3) hide behind a stack of paper towels in the housewares aisle and as customers walk by say "pick me, pick me!" 4) go to the clothing section, stand next to a dressing room, and yell in a loud voice "there's no toilet paper in here" 5) follow someone around the store with a can of spray sanitizer and spray everything that they touch read more

I don't typically leave bad reviews, but I had to leave this one- a couple of weeks ago, I went to Target and was being helped by a young man in the market area. As I was being assisted, I heard a team lead yell at a team member down a few aisles. I heard the team lead; I believe his name was Lincoln (it was hard to read his name tag), tell a minor to "lose the gray" because the young man was wearing a gray sweater. Amongst their conversation, I overheard the young man state it was the only sweater he had and asked the manager to requisition him a red sweater if he needed to be wearing red. I'm disgusted in the matter the lead spoke to the team member. Target is known for treating its employees right, and this experience was a poor example of that. It made me think of how much the store makes, and they could not simply requisition an item? When it is freezing in the market area. The young man was in the middle of helping me, and Lincoln rudely irrupted us. As a manager myself and a former Target employee, I was disgusted by how he treated this young man. No one in a leadership position should speak to anyone as if they are beneath them. This was such disgusting and unprofessional behavior for a team lead, and I hope Target does better with their training for team leads at this location because they have no right to speak to a team member in that matter. Please have respect for your employees and team. Lincoln do better. read more

I love Target even though they don't sell ammo or gun cleaning supplies. The quality of their clothing is so much better than Walmart. Even though probably overall Walmart is more affordable. I rather pay more and get a longer life out of it. Also Target sells some of my favorite brands like Method which you can't buy at Walmart. read more

This target in particular is a basic store but it's the employees that I have a problem with. Not once but three times the employees were talking trash about another employee right in front of me! The employees don't care about anything. Most of the employees are nice most of the the but too many times have a ran into careless employees. read more

This review is strictly for the experience I had for the in-store pick up on 11/23 afternoon. While in store, I placed an online "in-store pick up" purchase on my phone in order to take advantage of an online only promo. I know this may be petty but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to get the best deals? Anyways, by the time I came to customer service to pick up the order, it was nowhere near the 2 hour pick up time and a few of the cashiers either didn't know what to do or told me we had to wait the full 2 hour. A polite reminder would have sufficed since waiting is technically the rule but it turned unexpectedly into one cashier scolding and asking me if I understood the rules of the online purchase/in store pick up rules! Asking someone repeatedly if they understood something is something you do to unreasonable kids, not paying customers. It was humiliating and uncalled for for this to occur by the front entrance as each customer walks by watching the debacle unfold. At the peak of this unpleasant shopping experience, Target employee, Jocelyn comes out of the back office with her smartphone and in her calming and friendly demeanor reassured me the order is prepared and can be picked up right away. She went out of her way to resolve a situation that was already "handled" by her fellow employees, completely reversed the appalling bad customer service experience, and left me going home feeling thankful and appreciative. So I just wanted to take the time to thank Jocelyn and this particular Target for having hired this wonderful person! read more

Baby's got a brand new look. I should've taken more pics. Brand new facade. More glass/windows at the entry. Some reorganization inside. Friendly staff, since everything where I thought was isn't.

I just wish this one was closer to my place! Why am I in Vista anyway? read more

Went there 3 days ago, signs on door said "Masks Required. " It's now the law in San Diego. Guess Not at Customer Service! A couple stood there at the counter, masks dangling from arms, eating.. potato chips. Another lady had hers on, but It hung from her chin. The lady at customer service said nothing, but those of us in line we're very uncomfortable. I spoke to the manager to ask if Target is following the law in San Diego (which is, from May 1, wearing masks is compulsory) . He showed no concern , and said "We've been told not to insist customers wear masks." Well, if this is their COVID policy, none of my friends or I will be going back! read more

I like going to this Target. Only setbacks are that this location has a higher sales tax (9.75%) since it's in Vista, and that there's only 1 entrance (before the remodel, there were 2). I came here to bypass some time prior to my BoD meeting a local restaurant. The remodel looks great. Clean, wide and spacious. Now selling produce and food items. I could def stop here to grocery shop if need be. The parking area provide ample parking and usually I never find a problem. It's conveniently located off the Sycamore exit off the 78 so it's easily accessible since it's on way home from work. read more

Perfect customer service but pay your essential workers like they're essential! They're working through a pandemic and putting their health at risk. While they are immunocompromised or have family that are. The hoards of panic buyers have generated Target billions of dollars in a matter of seconds across the country. Y'all have enough to pay your workers time and a half during these times. read more

It's Target. You should know what to expect before ever walking. This particular location is on the smallish side, but it has pretty much everything you want and need in a Target store. The staff, sadly, is a bit surly and completely unhelpful. The checkout lines are usually long and mind-numbingly, painfully slow. After giving this Target about 1/2 dozen visits, I've given up. I have left here feeling frustrated at best, and searingly enraged at worst. I have never had a pleasant shopping experience here, and this makes me sad, because I love, and am very loyal to, The Target chain. Maybe I'll give in and give Walmart a try-they can't be any worse! read more
