Target

Kathy W 3 weeks ago

This is a neighborhood Target so it is small with limited merchandise but they have the basics and some extras. CVS pharmacy inside, which is why I was there. It was very busy so there was a bit of a wait for both check outs. Overall a good experience, the store was clean and organized. Coming from Minnesota, I'm use to Super Target's that have everything.

This is definitely a small Target (feels like it's only the size of the clothes sections at a regular sized one). It almost always has what I need to come to Target for, though, which makes it feel like the perfect little neighborhood store. Even though it's just a petit Target the location provides plenty of shoppers and I've never experienced an empty store. Kudos to the employees that are constantly keeping things stocked and tidy!

Summary: Only shop at this Target if you have NO alternative; it's basically a giant 7-Eleven. The selection is terrible, the prices are massively inflated, and they often only have their in-house brand at higher prices than you'd pay elsewhere for a well-known brand. If you go to any real grocery store, you'll pay about half of what you would for the same items at this Target. They are very good at being out of items you think they'd have. Expect Target-branded options of every grocery item but NO standard brands, or ONE variant of the name brand at 2x its normal cost (example, Domino sugar vs Target brand), all but forcing you to buy the generic. As another example, you can only buy Target-brand vanilla here, nothing else. They are aggressively forcing their Gather-branded products on people vs. offering a full selection of grocery products from reputable brands. See photo of the options for oats: 4 types of Good & Gather; not a single other brand. Highly reliant on the self-checkout and often has lines, but if you are buying alcohol and groceries at the same time…you have to use their cashiers. Because of the gas-station style counter setup, you get the fun experience of handing your items individually to your cashier, and then having the items accumulate in a pile on the tiny counter. They should just enable alcohol purchases with self-checkout; the system of having one employee check IDs in self-checkouts is faster and works well everywhere else. Stock and selection issues aside, the employees are truly friendly and very helpful. But the selection is so bad, and the prices for the items they have are so egregious (even by SD standards), I actively try to avoid going to this location. It is truly a stain on the Target brand. Update: th pathetic selection, brand assortment and pricing issues here persist. Recently I was looking for brown sugar - a simple household ingredient that is readily available anywhere claiming to be a grocery store. And yet, to my disbelief, this joke of a store was SOLD OUT of brown sugar. They only stock their house Garbage & Gather brand, and BOTH shelf spots for brown sugar were empty. Furthermore, the employee (again they are always super friendly, the bad review does not apply to any of the floor employees) checked, and there was no brown sugar in the back either. Mind you, this was not at a time of PEAK DEMAND for brown sugar - say, near Thanksgiving or Christmas, when people might be baking up a storm. No, this was a random weekday in mid December. Update 2: The stock levels and item selection in this Target are still positively terrible. The massive weighting towards their generic, in-house branded goods in both shelf space and stock levels, continues to be a point of extreme frustration. Most recently, I encountered a new low: on two different visits, sold out of the leading brand of aluminum foil, but of course the Target generic brand was in stock. The kicker? The Target brand was MORE EXPENSIVE than the regular brand. While you often see name brands being more expensive than the generic of a product at any major chain store, this is the first example I've seen of a store both a) not keeping adequate stock of the brand option AND b) charging MORE for the generic. Absolutely insane; whoever manages the stock, price levels and item selection at this Target should find a new career path. Target: if you’re only going to carry your in-house brand (but charge the same or greater price as actual respectable brands), you should at least keep your own products in stock. I’m sure there are very angry Domino Sugar or Reynolds Wrap brand reps somewhere who have ample brown sugar / aluminum foil reserves and would love to help you out here, but you clog the shelves with your own junk brands, leaving no space for the actual established brands consumers know and love - all to boost your profits. Please, either offer a respectable selection of brands, or at least keep your generics readily available. I actually love Target and am a longtime Red Card user, but this one is just awful.

It’s a cute little store, clean and modern but with a really limited selection, not like the normal Target you would expect, it’s more like a fancier version of a store attached to a gas station.

I’m sure you’ve probably heard this a lot already, but here’s my take. My issue isn’t with the fact that you lock up merchandise—I get why you do it. The frustration comes from the fact that you lock it up and then don’t have the staffing to actually support unlocking it when customers need it. So here’s what happens: I wait around for someone who never shows up. When someone finally does, they tell me the sensor is notifying them, but the person who handles it is on break. Think about that—customers are already inconvenienced by waiting, then told the one person who can help is unavailable. That’s not just inconvenient, that’s bad planning. So I’m left wondering—is this an understaffing issue, or a scheduling issue? Either way, the logic of locking things up while not having enough people to unlock them doesn’t add up. Figure it out.
