    Philly employees getting lazier than ever

    I go to pick up an order at one of the Target stores in my area on 1/15/25. It takes some time, as usual for anyone to notice me. Not only that, the employee that scans my barcode takes FOREVER to find my order which was only 3 items while another employee who scanned another customer who came in after me comes right back with their order. What makes it worse is that the employee who brought me order DID NOT have one item in a bag when I requested that the store use THEIR BAGS (WHICH THEY HAD PLENTY OF THAT DAY). He then had to get a bag and put that one item in it. Second, after I picked up my order, he obviously DID NOT scan it as picked up because today, 1/17/25, I get another email this morning from the same store telling me that the order I ALREADY PICKED UP was “ready for pick up”. I had to immediately get in touch with Tarshit’s chat system to get this straightened out so that I wouldn’t be double charged for this order. Of course, the ‘associate’ I spoke to was no help. All they did was ‘assure me’ that I wasn’t going to be double charged for the order & told me what I already knew that the ‘team member didn’t mark it as pick up’ & that the ‘tracking’ woud update soon. This is utter BS!!! I have NO FAITH WHATSOEVER in what I was told & I’m expecting a hassle with my CC company if TARSHIT winds up double charging me. What angers me most is that this is NOT the first time that store has done this to me!!!

    Worst store in USA!

    Target has steadily gone down hill since COVID. 75% of stuff is now locked away. Constant closures and those that managed to stay open in my area, have stopped carrying almost everything we buy on a daily/weekly basis causing us to search literally all over for another store who sells it or have it delivered. As if that weren’t bad enough, now their fricking app no longer lets you track orders. They got rid of the track order option so now you have to either track it through the website or the track order link in the shipping email.

  • After all this time signing up for Target’s crappy circle, they went and “made it better” by 1) getting rid of the lousy 1% back for non Red Card holders, 2) Auto enrolling circle members into Shipt WITHOUT permission, & 3) removing the ability to enter missed purchases. Before this unwanted & unnecessary “overhaul”, you could either scan a receipt or enter it manually on the app. Now, ALL attempts to scan receipts throw up an error and manual entry has been removed from the app AND the website. Yet the bozos in charge of said site STILL HAVEN’T updated the help section to reflect these changes since it STILL says to either scan or manually enter receipts for missing purchases. So basically now, if you forget to enter your phone number or if someone else in your family doesn’t give the number, you’re out of luck. 😡

    Employees ignore calls for assistance

    I needed to get some cough drops unlocked, since about 65% of stuff on the second floor of my local target is now under lock and key, only to have an employee walk right by me and blatantly ignore me after having rang for help. I waited a minute then rang again, the same employee walks by and ignores me, doesn’t even bother to say anything. This went on for almost 15 minutes before another customer who needed help in the same aisle chased the employee down and asked for help. The employee had been more interested in stocking shelves instead of helping customers get what they needed unlocked. What angers me, is that this unfortunately happens ALL THE TIME at this Target as well as any other store I’ve been to that has merch locked up here in Philadelphia.

    App rant

    There was an update for their already crap app earlier today (at least it was for me–apparently it had been out for a couple days for others), which was slow as molasses after I signed in (plus I had to enter my searches SEVERAL TIMES for it to give any results at all), that had added a duplicate app icon to many users’ phones, mine included.

    I wasn’t aware of this issue so I was lead to believe that the problem was with my phone instead of the app and was on the verge of doing a factory reset since I couldn’t figure out as to why this happened (I’ve never had any Play Store app updates put a duplicate icon on my devices before) or to get rid of it.

    So annoyed that yet again another greedy app developer had yet again rushed out an buggy app update without properly and thoroughly testing it! ????

    I’m just glad that they didn’t drag their feet and pushed out another update the same day that fixed the icon issue which saved me from erasing my phone.

  • Target uses a 3rd party delivery service called “Capstone” in my area for most of my orders now and I’ve had NOTHING but problems with them delivering my stuff. Constant lies about not having access to my building, cockroaches in the boxes a few times, missing items if I order more than one of the same item in some, “cancelled” without any explanation after being “out for delivery” on 2 most recent occasions. Customer service is BS since most of the time, they DON’T know what they’re doing or what you’re trying to tell them. Complaining only gets corporate BS copy and pasted script “promising to do better” or “will pass concerns to…”, yadda yadda yadda.
