One less sale to a brick and mortar store. One less interaction with a human who can answer a question IRL and IRT. One missed opportunity to see and touch product for yourself. Sure you might get a sour reply. Or an agent who doesn't know a picofarad from a PC board. You might also get damaged deliveries from Amazon. Sure the return process is relatively painless, but the time spent is less productive than hammering out whatever issue it is with the store. I bought two Arduino kits from Amazon. One was damaged and couldn't be used so I searched for replacements and looked at Jameco. Their site yielded pages of replacements and alternatives. Between the selection and the descriptions, I was able to what I was looking for a a few things I didn't know I needed. Kind of like browsing at Fry's. Yes, they have minimum quantity purchases for many items. Yes, your browsing is going to be mostly online. When I went to pick up my items, the display area was basically the lobby. The person at the desk could answer some questions and "a guy in the back" could provide more detail. This is what it takes to maintain a physical retail presence for many specialty shops these days. I learned of Anchor from someone else, and I'll visit that store one day. But it's twice as far from me as Jameco, and Jameco delivered what I needed.

My timing was such that I didn't need it for another month, so I paid a visit to see what I was buying. Gabe was there and showed me around, and he was pleasant, friendly and knowledgeable.

I was really angry because the service teams didn't believe me at first...until one team tried switching the wiring install an illogical way (from an install perspective) and it worked.

Once I had visual proof, they acknowledged the error, made the repairs and gave me a small but acceptable credit. In the end, it was the third team who were the heroes.

I asked another employee, Junior, for help and even showed him exactly what I was looking for on my phone. He didn't bother checking, didn't offer to help, and basically said whatever was on the shelf was all they had. Thankfully, Leslie stepped in and completely turned the experience around. She went out of her way to actually help me, walked me over, checked, and made sure I found what I needed. That's what real customer service looks like. Best Buy is lucky to have Leslie--professional, helpful, and genuinely caring. Thank you for saving my trip!

This requires a lot of work, and this is ot a non-profit shop. I brought in several old Mcintosh vintage pieces. They needed a lot of work. One ended up costing a lot more to repair than what was estimated. They stuck to the estimate and asked if I would not mind at least paying for the additional parts needed. They basically lost money restoring an MP1-4 (look it up it is rare). they did it as a labor of love. They told me few were made and only a couple had ever come through the shop. They restored a pre-amp, tuner and power amp as well as the MP1. John explained what could and should not be done to bring these back to pristine condition. This is an honest good shop with techs who love working on vintage gear. I have to check if they are back up and running after the fire. I hope so!

I came to this Target, while in the area. To pick up a few items that I needed yo restock up on for…read moremy place. Because my local Targets are based on the Targets (Daly City, South City and San Francisco). I'm used to a certain level of product availability, coordination between staff members and Customers and finally, the parking lot are is a nice sizable space that should fit a large amounts of cars but to be honest it doesn't. This location doesn't necessarily meet all of this key points but as a Target store. They still meet the basic requirements and needs. The produce is great and fresh. The isles are fully stocked, even if it's lacking some key products that I can find closer to the Peninsula. The bathrooms are clean the isles are clearly visible and marked by signs for customers to navigate easier. These are basic necessities that are so very important as a customer. Now, for the things that can really use some improvements. Before you even get into the store. The parking is rough, to say the least. Because this Target is located in a strip mall and not in its own private lot. Parking can be a free-for-all. My personal recommendation, the earlier you can shop the easier it is to find a space. Let's put it this way to be nice. Some of the staff aren't the most comfortable in their roles. Their body language and attitude, can really use some adjusting. Not all but some do need better training. Whether it's because they're not having a good day or they're just not happy. Staff need to do better. Especially when dealing with the public. The value is always great at Target but pointless if you can't stand being in the store. There's always room for improvement, and improvement is needed in key places. The drive-up/ order pickup is also an issue. I made an online order with products that were shown to be fully in-stock. An hour later, I was sent a notification that half my order was ready but the other half was not available. How? if everything online was shown to be in-stock. Although, I was bothered I went to pickup the order anyway. Parking sucked because customers used the order pick-up spaces as regular vehicle parking. When I finally found parking, I got my order and drove off. A few of the items were completely wrong. Causing me to go back and fix the error myself. The staff have to-do better, they just need to find it. Please make sure that all drive up and go orders are accurate before releasing items to the customers. and not giving someone else's order out. You can easily kill an hour or two here just window shopping or actual shopping. Imagine the kinda fun you can have with kids in tow. Just make sure yo have an idea of what you want and not rely on staff for help. It's hit or miss on how it will affect your experience.

Today, while passing through the area, I stopped in to look for boots for my daughter. While browsing in the girls' shoe section, I noticed a man with a coffee cup, no basket or cart, who was repeatedly pacing the aisle and watching me without selecting any merchandise. He continued walking past me several times, said excuse me one of those times looked me dead in the eye when he said it , would go to the end of the aisle or pretend to browse on the other side while peeking around the corner at me. It was downright creepy and uncomfortable! However, this was not just some random creep, he was very obviously a secret shopper and employee of Target. I did not find what I was looking for so as I was leaving the store, I noticed he was again watching me exit intently! I get it Target, you are concerned about security and loss prevention, however, tell your secret shoppers to try to keep themselves less obvious and more secretive because the interaction (if you can even call it that) was just flat out unsettling. Just shop at Bridgepointe instead.

I couldn't unlock it and it was speaking a foreign language everytime I picked it up. So out of frustration I called Samsung tech department and spoke with Danna. She tried to walk me through it and help me out. But I couldn't get it to unlock with my my password. So I decided to take it to the Tmobile store. Upon arriving I was greeted by a young man named Luis, who who displayed excellent customer service skills. He asked." how could he help". I explained the problem and he went to work. 5 minutes later the Tab was unlocked and opened. He went on to tell me the problem and how to solve the issues for next time it occurs. Luis, treated me, as if I was at Nordstroms shopping. I have to compliment Tmobile on its excellent customer service. Luis was without a doubt polite and courtesies with a carring attitude for the customer. Appreciated !
