Target cafe

Saw an incident at the Prince Georges Target in 3500 East-West Hwy #1200, Hyattsville, MD 20782 Hyattsville, MD at PG Mall today at the CAFE Stand at around 8:10 pm. While at Target, works walked back to the back room of the CAFE some couple of teenagers stole lots of food and Nothing was done about it. Works at target did not even realized food was missing from the Pizza hut stand or from any of the displays. I think there should be way more security and also they should have security cameras and security workers looking at these type of activities. That is why this target is very bad because this location permits those kinds of crime. Target will be losing a lot of money if this continues to happen. I think this location should be closed because stealing is happen more often then you think. See the security videos and see to it that these criminals will not do it again. These kids seem like they been stealing from target for a while because they know no security is doing nothing to stop them.

Unless you are an employee of this Target or have somehow been personally victimized by the theft issues, it really isn't any of your concern. At most what you can do is tell an employee if you see something happening while you are present. There are limitations when it comes to confronting thieves and the store may not have the financial resources to hire more security.

"These kids seem like they been stealing from target for a while"
I hope you personally have physical proof or evidence of this claim that you are making.

Target online ordering issue

11/27/2017- I went to order an amazon fire 8 32GB tablet in pink because it was such a great deal at 89.99 plus 15% off!The deal ended at 11:59pm I spent the evening trying to order it online and kept getting that it was unavailable within 100 miles.So I tried the blue case one and it said adding to cart...YAY!.. then, on the side, it popped up that it was out of stock. Today, 11/28/2017, they have them again... the gal I chatted with just said that they sell out quickly and get them in quickly is all. Was the online ordering working? Do you know if there will be deals after Christmas on them or is there any way to resolve the issue with the ordering online. I love shopping at target and get all my diapers there as well.
Thanks for any way you can help me.
Thanks!

Target bose soundlink color ii

Good morning. I paid full price for the product listed above yesterday at the Nicollet Mall Target store. When I opened the product, it was clear that it was purchased by someone else and then returned to the store, for whatever reason. Thus, a used product was being sold as if it was new. The speaker itself was dirty, and based on my use of the Bose Connect app, I could determine that it had been linked to two other idividuals iPhones. I was able to clean the product and clear out the other individuals bluetooth connections; the product seemingly works fine. However, I do not like the fact that I paid full price ($140.42) for a used product. Expect less. Pay more.

Target holiday spend 75 get 25 off

I came in to target b/c of your advertising of the deal on buying holiday items. Spend 75 and get 25 off. I had $82 worth of lights, wreath box and wrapping paper. When i got up to the register the discount didn't happen. Both the cashier and I were surprised. A manager came over and quite rudely explained that it is Wondershop items only. I had looked online and at a sign in the store. I was not under the impression from your marketing that was the case. The sign in the store said it did not include Google home items and a few other brands, food, candy, etc which said to me that it did include other brands. It wasn't until my unfortunate saga at the register that we realized my Philips brand Christmas lights didn't count. I was very upset. I found in some small print online that it said select Wondershop items only. Wow, this is really misleading advertising in multiple places. Not only did I walk away disappointed yesterday, I felt deceived. I have been a longtime Target customer and Redcard holder and will continue to be, but I would appreciate it if you were more careful in how you advertise your deals. I know Target is not about misleading customers. Please deeply consider this going forward. Thank you!

Target xbox game

Target refused to honor the return policy set forth in Texas Law. Target company return policy violates Texas law by preventing opened console/computer games from being returned. Texas law states consumers have the right to return anything within 14 days. The packaging was deceptive by not clearly stating it was not a complete game and target would not return or exchange the item. Told me to sell it on e-bay. They need to honor the law and at least give me store credit.

Target essential vegetables

This is not my first issue with this brand. Trying to open them up with a can opener, both electric and manual cannot be done.
Poor product line.

You need to do something about the poor quality of your cans.

I also have pictures of what we had to do to open a can a yellow wax beans.

I will no longer purchase these products from Target

Target security

I went shopping with my friends at target. The security guard named Jess decided to follow us around the store. As we approached the register she was stand at the exit door. Mind you she did not check anyone else receipt at the door. As soon as we approached the door she asked my friends and I for our receipts when she clearly saw all our items was paid for and all the paid items was bagged. I do not appreciate being targeted at the store. I feel highly disrespected.

Target red cards, shopping cart, customer service

First your red cards are faulty. I gave up trying to use mine, when it started denying my purchases I called customer service who insisted I moved and didn't give them my new address. I did NOT move but customer service argued with me and said I did. Now you went ahead and screwed up shopping cart and I cannot use it because you guys say I have a open account. Which I do NOT! SO NOW THAT YOU MESSED THAT ALL UP AND I CANNOT GET ON THE SITE I WILL GO AHEAD AND SHOP SOMEWHERE WHERE THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!

Target credit card

I have not been able to access my target account at all since April. My card was paid off in fact I made a double payment so I should have a credit.

Target will not remove fraud charges and each month they send me statements adding more charges which is creating huge sum of money due in fact they added different charges which made the card have a higher balance than it did when this fraud first startd back in April.

I have talked to so many people that claim they are "supervisors" but then they end up saying I have to talk to Julie-who was nasty to me, the one and only time she was available. I have called so many times and no one will do anything.
This headache has been going on since March and the hours and hours of time and I can't get anyone to help! I got 1 letter saying they removed the charges but then they added different charges that were removed in the beginning that were fraud and still leave me with charges I shouldn't have. I want as many people to know about targets red card so they don't live this 6month nightmare! I don't know what to do and everyone I talk to is so mean and says I have to pay.

Target shelf tag mistake, price listed off by $10

Today (10/28/17), I purchased a set of 400pc heavy duty rainbow Christmas lights. The shelf tag claimed these lights were $19.99. I made sure the lights were in the spot matching up to the shelf tag and made sure they were the same ones before choosing them. However, when I purchased them, they were read as $10 more that the shelf tag claimed, plus nearly $2 in tax, making them $31.80 instead of $19.99, plus tax, like I thought they would be.. This altered my purchase plans with having only $49 on hand. I ended up having to return some pencils I planned on purchasing, for I am a full-time illustrator. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, I would like to let you know of this tag mistake.

Thank you,

Target 5 oz whoppers box

I purchased a box of Whoppers last week. After I'd opened it and eaten one, I noticed the expiration date had already passed - 7/2017. I'm upset that I wasted my money on this product. How could these be put out with the rest of the candy? I'd appreciate some type of compensation. Even a "sorry" would work. I am very hurt. I think products should be checked more thoroughly before being put out on the shelves. If a box of candy was held off long enough to expire, what else could be getting customers sick? "Expect more, paid less"? Yeah, that's right. I definitely expected more.

Target contigo autospout ashland glass water bottle 20oz

The other day I washed my water bottle, on the top rack in the dishwasher like instructed.

The straw melted to the water bottle and is now unusable.

This occurred on 10/23/17.

If possible I would like a replacement, I have not owned the water bottle for very long and I followed the washing instructions exactly. Up until this point I was very happy with the product, I have owned Contigo water bottles in the past and loved them. Very disappointed.

Target return policy

I purchased an audio cord at Target about 40 days ago. I got home and through the clear package I could see one of the ends was larger than I needed. The next day I was at Walmart and found a different cord, so I took it home to try with the same results. I tried to return the cord at Target last night, only to learn that I couldn't because the audio cord is considered an electronic and should be returned within 30 days. I went on to Walmart who returned theirs with no problem. I contacted Target customer support who told me they were sorry that happened and would happily let the next level know of my experience. I get that more costly electronics have a 30 day return policy but never dreamed a $14 cord would. Now I know. Don't buy anything close to electronic at Target.

Target hostess

Today 10/21/17 I purchased a a box of Ho-Hos from a Target store in Sandy Springs Ga. As I bite into the Ho-Ho it was hard as a rock. Now I'm not exaggerating! So after I bit it I begin to smell something absolutely atrocious. It was the Ho-Ho! Immediately I look at the date on the box and it has a "Use By Best Date April 15, 2016. 2016! Really! 2016! It has been exactly 1 year, 6 months and, 7 days since this should of been ate. This is just laziness, disgusting. Critical, hazardous and just plain nasty. Especially this time of year is Halloween and kids could digest this. Just trash! I want my $$ back plus redress for the whole experience . I have pics and receipt.

Target target store refused an exchanged for same item with my receipt

This is not Right how target store treated me, I need it to do an exchanged for my air mattress I bought because the air comes out I didn't find any cuts for the air to be coming out so I'm thinking its the pump not working so is a factory defects. I decided to go exchange it for the same mattress I still have the receipt so it should not be an issue. I go in I asked the girl at customer service she said OK just go get what u want and come back so I go get the mattress and at the time of the exchange she asked for the id, for me it is a bit weird that a retail store ask for an Id for an even exchanged I get it if you don't have a receipt or if is a returned but for an even exchanged but oh well I provided the Id well sure enough she said sorry we can't process the return because it shows you have exceeded the return what ever that means so I than thought about it and I do remember returning a makeup but it was in 2016 but oh well I asked my boyfriend if he had his so he gave it to the cashier she said sorry it the system shows its max out I than loom at her and you got to be kidding me he don't even like target so how can you tell me this I asked to. Speak to the store manager and she comethe girl explain to her in her own words but I inturputed her and explain to her how it is, she did something to the register and said to me the same thing. So I call my mom and asked her if she can please come to target to exchange the mattress because I need it for tonight my son can't sleep on the floor so she did my mom didn't have her id because it is lost buy she already order new one just waiting for it in the mail she had her expires id and her passport card but according to the store manager that's not a form of ID . let me tell you at that point I was very upset had to wake up my mother for nothing my son was tired we had 2 hours waited at target. My mom called my dad he showed up they run his Id and once again they said the same thing I asked to showed me and the girl showed me the screen but it didn't say nothing it only said ask customer for id or receipt to scan. So I asked her to showed me where does it show that his Id is max out on returns and she never shoed me she left. 5 id's were provided to them maybe the problem is not us maybe is their system because I guaranteed you my dad has never in his life returned nothing he even told her. I asked the girl if she was the store manager she said no I angry responded why is she waiting my time I asked to speak to the store manager since the 1st time they were giving me a hard time, I asked again to please send the store manager well to get to the point the store manager was a wait she did not help me she did not even try she went by what the cashier said I to be honest still don't think she is a store manager because she has no skills she has horrible customer service had no idea what she was talking about. So I asked her are you telling me that you can not help me today? Are you telling me that you can do an even exchanged with a receipt for me she said yes I am telling you I can not help today. If you are telling Me you are a store manager and straight to my face tell me you won't be helping me that rift there is horrible customer service. I don't know how target trains their employees but let me tell you something dollar tree/99¢ and Walmart have better service for sure target for me is no body you know why because customer is always right everyone here or China we all know that. I pay for this mattress money I worked hard to get to trust target with an item but they failed on me they refused my service after the pocket my money. How would I know that the mattress was gonna go bad in 3 months if I would of known that I for sure would have not purchase it at target. Horrible customer service I for sure would never ever step foot at target and I will make sure my friends and family will not step foot there as well. I will let everyone know about my experience at target how they are false advertising and discriminating people because to me this is descriminatin.target did me bad to me I hear the word target and I think of a bunch thiefs.

Target target.com ordering: destroyed item and supposed expedited shipping

I am currently unable to leave the house due to a medical condition and with my husband traveling for the week, he ordered some Enfagrow Formula that I needed for our two children. Target.com claimed it was in stock and would ship faster by one-day versus Amazon.com and time was of the essence as our supply was low and due to my inability to leave the house with two kids to pick up a large quantity of formula. I receive the Target.com product on my front door steps...only to see the inside contents completely destroyed and formula spilled all over the insides and sides of the box! ZERO EFFORT was made to pack it!

Called Target.com and they said they would expedite a new shipment and would arrive the next day. I call for status since it's been over 30+ hours since I placed my call. The CSR states that it will arrive in 3-4 business days. That is not "expedited" and now I am on hold awaiting a manager to get on the phone to resolve this. Unbelievable!

Target a new day line

I am so mad that the brand's for women's clothing has changed. I am a plus size woman, and the new A New Day line runs very small. With Mossimo and the other target brands, I could easily find my sizes in shirts. And now I can't find anything. I used to love going to Target, but now I can't. And I have heard nothing but complaints about this change from MULTIPLE people who are loyal Target costumers.
Why was thing change made and is there anyway to get Mossimo back?

Thank you
