Our target is so shopped out they can't get the shelves stocked. Yet they still won't hire/staff more checkers, and the checker I had today told me many had been reduced to part-time. So as Target, WalMart and Costco are making $$$ hand over fist during this pandemic, they are cutting their employees hours, and therefore benefits. It's hard to stay optimistic about human nature read more

Your employee in the makeup aisle told my family member (an adult) that if she didn't want something she should give it to an employee to put away. It is likely she thought she was a child, but regardless a person who she was not entitled to belittle. Unfortunately shoppers put things away in all sorts of places around your store and every other store. To have a young employee treat a customer in this way is extremely shocking. She didn't steal anything; she simply decided she didn't want something. The employee should be reprimanded. It is part of HER job to put items away in her section of the store she works at. Perhaps her punishment to keep her job should be to put away items that have been misplaced around the store?! Appalling treatment by a team member not acting like one of the team. read more

No issues with the store itself or the people working there. The employees have been kind but the bathrooms are disgusting! The floors were sticky and the sinks were grimy. The trash was overflowing and all over the stalls, and it looked like they hadn't been properly cleaned in a while. Really gross! read more

Their team members avoid customer service. No manager or supervisor in sight. Fitting rooms are closed off and messy, borderline filthy. So many partial drinks left scattered in such a small back space. I called the store while waiting in the same section for 10 minutes. I could not get any team member to help me. I left without anyone saying hello. read more

I love Target! Especially this east side one! It's always clean and fully stocked. I can purchase clothes, groceries, wine, liquor and even incentive items for students. When I'm in a hurry, i order online and do the drive up - pick up! It's convenient and fast! I can shop online and pick up on my lunch break. The service is always great! Staff is always friendly and you rarely have to wait in a long line. That's service! read more

Some of the workers here are kind and helpful, some on the other hand not so much! My mother had her wallet stolen from some of the young men who work there and the manager even lied about not knowing. We spoke with corporate and thankfully she got her wallet back but money, tickets and other items were still missing out if it, and of course the many did nothing about it. read more

The cashiers are rarely friendly and don't look happy at all, the store is always a complete disaster. I only ever see clothes on the floor, never any associates. And the dressing rooms are always piled up. And yet they never seem to be hiring but can definitely use the help. Hello corporate ! Do you ever check in your stores and associates to see if they need the help?! read more

PLEASE be more careful when handling pick up/drive up orders! Ordered for drive up, and EVERYTHING was damaged. Jar of pasta sauce was cracked and spilled everywhere! Granted, they replaced it, but when i removed everything from the bag later that evening, the bag of flour was ripped and already spilling and I didn't notice the iced tea I bought was also leaking! I don't know how these are handled but this isn't it! read more

This Target is horrendous and I wish I was not forced to even give 1 star. While most Targets are bad at answering their phones, this Target is the very very worst!! I was driving through the area from out of town shopping for a specific item. I was able to reach other local Targets (after several tries) but this Target would not answer their phone despite my constantly calling them for nearly 2 hours!!! I tried 0, the Spanish option, other departments, but no answer... I even called a nearby store who verified the correct number for this address, and they could not reach them either. The weather is totally clear and there are no power outages. Just change your phone tree to state that you do not accept calls at this location!! read more

This store has really gone downhill. Maybe they should change management. No carts and was told the cart person wasn't there. So you guys don't want to sell anything? Employees were not helpful, no assistance at the self check out, store is a mess and half the things I needed they were out of. What a pity. read more

Wow Terrible management Not enough checkers. The lines were super long and instead of jumping in and opening a register the floor person was on her walkie-talkie trying to get other people out there to open one which didn't happen. If it did that happened after I already left! Other than that I do like Target. Good selection read more

The East Hills Target has become a joke. It's messy, usually out of stock of what I need even though their app says they have it, expired food on the shelves and today, no shopping carts in the store. (Someone was finally bringing carts into the store after I had completed my shopping) This use to be my favorite store. I went at least once a week if not more. Today was the first time I had been there in months and now I remember why that is. The one star is for the young lady who helped me with my online return. She was very nice, polite and courteous. read more

Zero stars if I could give it! This by far is the worst store!! The store is always dirty 3pm-closing, they never have the merchandise on their shelves anymore. I'm always Racially profiled at this store only. Every time I walk in, I over hear them on their radios & having security watching you, while they think they're being discreet, but you're NOT! While they're focused on me, you got Billy & Mandy over on the next isle stealing but they don't see that!! Man, this store is canceled for me read more

Came to get a few items for birthdays and it's a miracle I didn't buy anything else. I've been coming to this Target ever since it opened In the 90s. A few major recent upgrades: #1 the new cosmetic area looks way more open, lit up, and according to my wife, more products. #2 they gutted the food court area and made it into a Starbucks. They should really get a drop in stars for that, but that's coming from a coffee hater, and because I used to love their popcorn. All jokes aside, there were no lines to pay, and the store looked clean. Good job NE! read more

Target - Department Stores Near Me - Bakersfield, California

First of all the store is a mess, but most targets are. Secondly, there was no one at the fitting rooms. Multiple associates walked by without helping us into the fitting rooms. My biggest concern is that I was charged for 2 things I didn't purchase. I had my daughter so I wasn't paying attention to the cashier ringing up my order. I checked later because it seemed high. I was charged for 2 dove products that I never picked out. The weird thing is I was charged for these two items that I never wanted AND THAT WERENT IN MY BAG WHEN I GOT HOME. My cashier left in the middle of ringing me up to help someone else which I was fine with. But I don't understand how I got charged for 2 items I never wanted to purchase. How did the cashier ring these random items up? Seems fishy to me. I tried to call customer service 5 times and no one would answer. All I wanted them to do was replay the tapes so I could get refunded $16. I didn't feel like driving across town at night with a toddler on that bad part of town. Anyways, I called the 1800 number and they sent me a $15 gift card, so that was nice. Idk if the cashier is doing some type of fraud or what. I also made sure everything I bought was accounted for in case I got rang up wrong, but nope that wasn't it. Everything I bought I was charged for plus these 2 dove products that are who knows where. read more

The store is absolutely filthy!! Always out of things and the shelves are all a mess. The customer service is also a mess, with tons of baskets full of things that need to be put away. The women's restroom is always a mess and out of toilet paper. Half the time the toilets aren't in good working order either. If I can help it I won't be going back to this target. read more

East hills target is always stock but lately some departments are almost entirely empty. Like this store lines can get crowded some times but they go by fast. Returns are always fast and easy specially if you have the target app. read more

Staff and now the manager and everything else are great. I am a prof of economics and a strategist trust me these are tough operations. I love these young individuals are their drive (the staff) read more

If I could give no stars I would. Walked into the store. An employee made eye contact with me then rolled her eyes and kept walking. She did not greet the customer at the entrance. I did not feel welcome in the store. Yeah I walked right out. Zero customer service here. Walmart was on point and I felted welcome there. Don't shop here. Terrible staff from the top down. read more

So glad they are so close. It was clean, many great quality products stocked, helpful kind employees. I am so glad they carry some organic choices in their food isles. There were few people shopping so it made it a relaxing trip to the store that normally I don't like to have to do. Nice music played and not to loud. read more

Target - Modest yet not restricting! Comfortable, cute pattern and perfect color. - Department Stores Near Me - Bakersfield, California

At 7:18pm, the Starbucks is only selling teas and refreshers. Pastry case empty. Very bummed!!!

Out of all the targets I've been to this one has been the worst! Clothes everywhere some shoes did not have pairs and if you found one pair it was in another side. Floors looked like they have not been cleaned at all, opened merchandise everywhere and a lot of young teens that do not know how to respect a store. They need new management honestly. read more

I love this store the employees are extremely nice especially the one handing out carts always greeting people!!!

I come to this specific Target weekly and sometimes even several times a week. The store is a typical target store. What's cool about this one is that it's see,s it doesn't have as much traffic as the other targets. So what that means is more product and more selection. Has its busy times where registers sometimes back up. Normally a manager is around to call for more help to get things moving. I had an experience here the other night that I wasn't fond of though. A friend and I came here to get him a deodorant. We'd came around 10:30pm and I believe they close at 11pm. While we were on our way to the hygiene aisle. Every employee on our way had to remind us that they were closing in 30, 20, 15 minutes. It made for a very unpleasant experience for us. I mean I could see one employee reminding us. But when 3-4 remind us.. it's like okay I feel like we are being rushed out of the store. We eventually told one employee that we were very well aware of what time they close as 3 employees before her had reminded us. Target should have a recording over the speakers that say what time they are closing. That would be better than having every employee remind the customer. Target Mallview Rd, 3 stars and that's generous. read more

Who doesn't like Target? If you're a Target hater, I suggest you move on to the next review, because you will not like this. Yes, I'm a target aficionado, and I'm proud of it. Target is my go to place for clothes, birthday gift cards, accessories, shoes, groceries, home stuff, and when I want to burn time during lunch hour :). They have good quality and affordable merchandise compared to other stores. I also love their kids clothing and shoes. My daughter is still going through growth spurts, and buying her affordable, high quality yet stylish clothes is helpful and Target definitely provides all of that. This specific location is closest to where I work and my home so I come here a LOT! The only downside, this place doesn't have Starbucks or a wider variety of selections compared to the bigger Target stores in town. Just wishing and hoping that they are thinking of adding Starbucks, if they are, oh my! I will be there almost everyday! ;) read more

Target - Pizza Hut's Chicken Alfredo from Target's Cafe - Department Stores Near Me - Bakersfield, California

they never ever answer their phones... ever!!! why don't you ever answer the f***ng phone!! that's part pf custumer service for pete's sake

The bathrooms here are disgusting and I had the misfortune of having to use them. The towel dispensers were out and they put a soggy paper towel roll on top of the empty dispenser. The soap dispensers were all empty and someone put out the target brand soap. The floors were dirty with toilet paper strewn about. One toilet wasn't flushed. The employees just don't care about health code violations as they let someone push their non service animal about in the store. The little chihuahua was sitting atop a blanket in a cart just chilling. Coo, not like y'all sell food here. read more

Target - Didn't know non service dogs were allowed inside. - Department Stores Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I do not live nearby, so I end up going here with my daughter n law when my son is working away. My experiences at this Target are good. The parking lot is big, plenty of places to park. Inside the employees are helpful if you need help finding something. Prices are good, maybe a little more than the store from Benton Arkansas, but who wants to deal with Walmart? There have been a minimum of five registers open when the store is somewhat busy (I have not been during a "holiday rush"). Last visit we needed CoQ10, found it for $27.99 for 120, but a 25% free, so got 150 capsules. Costco price for this is $34.00 for 100 capsules. We purchased all they had. So sometimes you can come up on a really good deal here. We were not going to even look. But glad we did. This is a much better alternative to Rosedale Target. read more

The employees at this target are always extremely nice and quick to help. I frequent at this location. Recently, there was a man following my daughter and me while shopping and the employees worth it to take action to keep us safe. Very thankful! read more

I have gone into this store a a few occasions to get a few things unfortunately they have been out of everything that I went in for. I asked for a sales associate to see if they could find something for me their computer said they had 900+ of a serial that I wanted and they had zero oops they said computer made an error. The next thing I went to get there out of every time I go in there they have one or zero this is not a hot item. This is why I order off of Amazon I will not be going back into the store after the only manager on duty got off the phone and said I don't have time to talk to you I have to clock out I'm done with that store their customer service is gone to the dogs I have been a customer of the store since the doors opened I'm out. Why are use the app to see if they have some thing and then to get in the store and find out that they don't worthless read more

To the manager with blonde hair, big butt and fake smile... Get to work! If only you could be the example you wish to see in your workers. Thats no role model. I've heard you talk but never have seen you work. More useful a wad of wet TP. read more

The East Side Target store is great. We buy groceries and clothes here and also pet needs. When I walk into other Target stores and ALWAYS at at the W store, I get tense because I know I will have to deal with crazy crowds and all I want to do is get what I want and get out. The east side Target is low stress. It is Smaller than the other locations, but parking and crowds are never a problem. The store is clean, well organized, and well stocked. The employees are nice. Even though the checkouts get full sometimes, they move the lines quickly and never show stress or snappiness when it is busy. I hate grocery shopping, but for some reason, I never mind coming her. It is really strange for me because I HATE shopping. Did I say I hate shopping yet? The East side Target is no problem for me. I Love shopping here, I can't put my finger on why. It seems that this store and this management team are doing something right and doing it very subtly. You've gotta try this Target. It is a Zen experience! read more

Target - Department Stores Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Target oh target, how much i love you. Does anyone else get super happy to have to run an "errand" here? Yeah i thought so lol. First off this is my least favorite location in town. The dollar section is always a mess and doesn't carry as many items as the other locations. The food court area needs a serious update, the only one in town without an added Starbucks? Tears. I do however love that it's in a great area and not too far from my house. Fingers crossed that a Starbucks gets out inside, oh whoops did i say that already? Wink wink. read more

Yo to all! thanks for taking the time to read about my review of Target (as if you have never been there!). Target, as we all know is the alternative to a certain chain store know as Wal-M__T. Personally, I hate Wal-M**T and what I perceive as classless employees and customers. Anyways, this particular Target is always clean and the employees are always kind and helpful. I have deducted one star for a couple of different issues, which are not uncommon but do arise from time to time. The first is that there can be a shortage of shopping carts. and by shortage, I mean none. the other issue is that there are not always enough cashiers... This can be at peak times during the week or during times such as Christmas-time... Overall I would recommend this joint to friends and family. read more

I'm bias here because I've been coming to this store since it opened back in the 80's and I was just a wee lad. I also used to work here for 5 or so years , so my opinion is bias. Since the east hills mall failed this has become the retail king of the east side. the beacon of all shopping when money isn't an option and you don't want to die going to the wal mart down the hill...speaking of wal mart down the hill...everything that wal mart does WRONG this store does right. I mean they are the same neighborhood but the atmosphere is the difference between night and day. amazing. I also have a good experience with the staff because I know them all personally as friends...or eventually become friends with them because they're friends of friends.so it's always go that going for it in my favor. The selection seems smaller than the other stores in town , especially movies and music , but I only buy those things now when it's a first week release...which they do a good job of keeping in stock. I also used to grocery shop here quite often when I had worked here and got my discount. good quality foods. Overall this is one of my home bases and probably always will be . read more

East side Target has cheaper prices than Rosedale. I challenge anyone to deny this fact. It may be a few pennies but if you want something cheaper try here. Also, the sales always seems to be here first and the selection much larger. It's not nearly as expansive as the locations on Rosedale and Stockdale, but it has everything that you may need. Garden department has some very helpful people too. If you dislike crowds, and people in general, try this location weekdays before 10am. I usually have the place to myself. read more

I was all set to cruise the fairway in the cart provided, but there seemed to be a lot of traps... mostly narrow aisles in the clothing section which would be crowded for walking, but mildly troublesome for the handicapable. The staff were very helpful in my quest to track down random items, and since I haven't been to this store much in the past few years and missed the renovations, their help was much needed. I give them props for their superpowers of restockingness. I went yesterday looking for, among other things, some foundation. As usual, everyone else must be the exact same shade of pale as I am, and the color I wanted was sold-out. I went back today for something else I needed (I'm not addicted to Target, scout's honor *twitch*) I decided to check just for the heck of it, and lo and behold there was exactly one of the ever so popular "pale girl" shade on the shelf with my name on it! Target, you win. read more

why cant I ever get out of this place for less than $200? Good remodel - I like how they are trying to get all of the Targets to match so you can find stuff wherever you go. Not much help in the store, but really nice checkers not many options up by the college in NE Bakersfield, so we visit here often... read more
