When I stopped in someone was ranting at the security guard; someone else was standing outside the store on the street screaming and insulting anyone walking by. It feels decidedly unsafe. Even worse, since their Broadway entrance/exit seems to be permanently locked, you have to leave through the parking lot, where a lot of these folks seem to congregate. I really wish Target would do a better job of working with the city to make this location safer and easier to visit.

Most items are locked up, due to theft here and at other stores in Santa Monica, which is sad. Again, it is not the fault of Target. They are doing their best to keep shopping safe for customers. I like their house brand, Up and UP too. I compared prices at other stores, like CVS and Target's are cheaper. This store is a small shop so I suggest you download the Target app to see if the item you are looking for is IN STOCK. Most often the things I want are in stock but not always. This Target has a CVS pharmacy inside. I have picked up my Rxes here on occasion. The staff here are very friendly! This is not my usual CVS pharmacy, but when my CVS pharmacy doesn't have my meds, I am directed to this one inside Target. There is a very small parking lot adjacent to the store entrance.

Most things are locked up due to past theft, but there is a button to push and a staffer comes by quickly. I am glad there is a Target here. I often find their Up and Up brands are very good.

I'm now here to sit back and wait until it is back in stock. The selection is great and value for certain items are reasonable; for instance the small box of Band-Aid here doesn't cost a lot like CVS. Whenever I needed an item, I'll stop by and get it.

Amazing customer service from Damaris at the front office to Rudy, the printer specialist…read more Unfortunately my movers did not read the "this side up" on my printer box and had it on its side without me noticing until a day later. Everything printed came out pink and yellow. Signal was recommended by the Brother printer website for repairs and after reading great reviews, I contacted them. Their professionalism was remarkable because Damaris did not hesitate to recommend a competitor if I needed an immediate repair because their printer tech Rudy was out I'll. I preferred to wait 3 days and I'm so glad I did! Rudy came to my door to pick up at exactly the scheduled time, I got a call 2 days later with the entire prognosis as well as recommendations for a later maintenance (they did not push for any additional service). Upon delivery a day later, Rudy stayed to show me that everything worked and printed out the entire maintenance report. I highly recommend then for any of your computer needs.

If you're in LA and need a trustworthy IT/hardware shop to take your computers, I cannot recommend…read moreSignal Electronics highly enough. They're incredible. You can trust them with your data AND your business. My System76 machine developed an issue in the LCD controller board out of warranty. Signal Electronics found an OEM part, ordered it, and installed in about 8 days between Christmas and the first days of January. When it turned out that the replacement part had a spec of dirt obscuring some pixels (which I thought were dead), they ordered a replacement free of charge. When the replacement was the wrong size (wrong part!), they sent it back and ordered from a new supplier. I picked up the machine today and the screen is PERFECT. So yeah -- if you need to fix your PC, Mac, or Linux machine -- these are the droids you're looking for :)

Our service at the store this time was even better than last. David and his team were on time and handled the delivery and installation very professionally. I also appreciate Ivy for managing the one touch delivery and Flexible scheduling. Our overall experience has been incredibly great and has surpassed our experience with Best buy and Costco by far. We will continue doing business with them and refer our friends and family to them.

You can tell he cares about the craft and about keeping these machines alive. The whole place is full of typewriters and I can't wait to add a cursive one to my collection at some point.

Highly recommend if you've got a typewriter that needs some love.

When I came back to pick it up, I was shocked to see it lying on its side on the floor in front of his counter. When he gave it back onto me, there were several scratches on the case! This beautiful machine had somehow made it nearly 80 years without a scratch-- that is, until I had the misfortune of trusting Mr. Schultz with it. To make matters worse, he denied he had caused the scratches, even when I showed him photos that I had taken of the typewriter before I brought it in for servicing. He ultimately bought the type from me, but not before screaming vulgarities at me. What a surreal and hellish experience it was dealing with this guy.

Parking underneath the store, entrance is on Westgate,south of Santa Monica Blvd. This Target has a Starbucks inside! I haven't had an issue with the staff here as I have read the other reviews. I am only giving this one 4 stars because this is a smaller Target when compared to the regular larger stores, however I am grateful for having a Target in my neighborhood. This store is well stocked and organized.

Get a different job if you don't like interacting with the public. Note: if you want sugar or stirrers for your coffee, they're behind the counter and you'll get attitude for asking. In contrast, the employees who do returns are great, helpful and PROFESSIONAL. Once I found out what's listed in stock at this location on the website actually was not. The employee was apologetic but it also took over 5 minutes for an employee to come to assist in a locked merchandise area. One more rude employee and I'm speaking to the manager and then done with this location.

This has turned into the worst Staples…read more They essentially don't care that people are begging for money a foot from the entrance. I reported this upon entry and zero response. But, why would I be surprised since they allow transients to park in their lot doing all manner of things that beyond the unsightliness, bring a degree of discomfort to patrons? I used to frequent this location nearly daily dropping packages off for shipping for my small business. That is until the packages weren't picked up daily. Then I used the location to drop off Amazon returns. While waiting in the checkout line for the return (the process was changed with no signage) I again, mentioned how uncomfortable it is to have someone begging just outside the door. No response. Literally. Just a look. What a joke. Smh
