Target is not a supermarket; it is a general purpose household store that only recently started carrying a small selection of foodstuffs. Pointless to criticize a store for not being what it doesn't pretend to be. I have shopped there for 15 years and always find what I want easily and quickly, and at a good price. read more

Honestly, one of the worst Target stores in the country. Rude and extremely unhelpful staff. I can see why target is losing Billions.

While this Target location was located near the cabin rental we were staying at, we were disappointed with the selection of food items that they had available. We went there for a very short list of items: bottled water, sugar, a deck of cards, coffee creamer and hot sauce. They had everything that we needed but only in large quantities or if they had a smaller container or quantity available, the price didn't make sense for us to purchase it. We were able to purchase a 6-pack of Ice Mountain water for a decent price, but the only container of sugar that they had was a 4 or 5 lb. bag. I was looking for a small canister like what you might see near the coffee pot in an office. We found the cards, but they were only sold in 2-packs. We have lots of cards at home, but forgot to bring them. We didn't want to buy two packs. The coffee creamers were all pretty large, except for the half and half, which I was not able to convince my husband to select (not Target's fault). Lastly, was the hot sauce...only big bottles available. I just wanted a small, purse-sized bottle to use at the cabin. I left without hot sauce and sugar. I guess the moral to the story is, instead of attempting to force people to buy large quantities or bigger packages, offer a smaller variety and get the sell! read more

Target - Department Stores Near Me - Bloomington, Indiana

Gayle and I came to this target with our college-bound granddaughter to help pick out items (towels, sheets, shower cady, desk lamp, etc.) for her upcoming IU dorm room. We've never quite looked at Target this way, which was definitely showing our age! Past this new culture shock, we knew what to expect at a Target, and that's what we received. The store has a street and a mall entrance, and pretty easy to get in and out of the store and the parking lot. read more

I went to this Target and it was very clean. Workers were helpful when helping me look for things. I went on the app because my grandson wanted some type of candy. It was in stock and we went to the aisle. It was not in stock. This made me and my grandbaby real upset and we stormed out of that store. read more

They have too many shopping carts. Everyone is nice and had some really good deals. Wow read more

Target - Chats - Department Stores Near Me - Bloomington, Indiana

The only reason I continue to shop here is because it is the only Target in town. There are times when our cashier is kind and sometimes they are the only place that carries our favorite foods but, overall they seem to care little about their customers and their customer service. I try to be fair when writing reviews if I have a negative experience because it could be just a one time thing but, I have had it today. Usually, I can put up with the lack of assistance and careless attitude but, today was horrible. Not only were employees blocking the checkout lanes but, the cashier was especially rude, had no idea how to bash groceries and made no attempts to make it easier for to load items into my cart. When I went to the customer service desk to let them know how bad today was the agent had a manager come over. It turns out it was the manager blocking the checkout lanes the whole time. Shame on you Target. If you can't even get your managers to act appropriately how can you expect your other employees too.... read more

Jane K is an older employee who doesn't know how to ring things up and rudely snapped at me, the customer because her screen didn't show if a total was before sales tax or not. Other employee had to fix it. read more

Staff were rude to my pregnant wife, and they refused to accommodate her when she had to use the bathroom. She's pregnant, and she had our toddler with her. When she attempted to use the family bathroom she found it was not being cleaned, to the point where she couldn't use it. She went to another bathroom & brought the cart in to hold the baby. Staff angrily confronted her for bringing the cart in. She mentioned the state of the family bathroom to two staff members who refused to address it and continued to act unprofessionally. She ended up leaving the Target and driving home because staff wouldn't accommodate her. read more

Clean store that is perfect for dorm room needs! I was in search of some nice towels and toiletries. Where Kroger failed, Target succeeded.

I don't think there's ever been a time where I've had a bad experience in this Target. It's well-organized, clean, and priced pretty reasonably. Sure, it may be fairly small, but they still manage to fit a wide variety of products into one fantastic store in the College Mall. Perhaps its best quality, though, would be how kind its workers are. It's not uncommon for the cashiers to ask you how your day is going, or to have a good conversation with the Starbucks employees while you wait on your drink. They all seem to enjoy creating a connection with people--something that is becoming far less common in the modern world. All in all, this is an excellent Target, and one I highly recommend for anything you might need! read more

This place gets points just for being good corporate citizens during the COVID World Tour 2020. They limit the number of customers and marking stickers on the ground six feet apart indicating where to stand in line read more

I'm leaving 2 stars instead of 1, only because the staff is really great, helpful and friendly. However, I have gotten bad produce from this target twice now. I got a bag of sweet onions the last time and 3 out of 5 was spoiled. First time the avocados were bad. Beware of this if you order for pickup. read more

Don't usually review Target stores...but this one was actually fair. Since it is in a Big 10 University city they generally have the right inventory when school gets set in the Fall. For example, they have skids of microwave units and air conditioners...stuff college kids buy and use. So they get plus signs for their inventory. The grocery section is a bit on the light side, but they have a lot of the stuff college kids look for in a store. Target pretty much is one stop shopping for the college set down here in Bloomington. Service is a bit on the light side. Target has spent its money over the last decade getting rid of all the employees who actually knew what was going on. Thus when you can locate a store employee, they oftentimes have trouble finding what you need. Let me check on that. Being in a large mall they have checkout counters at both ends of the store - on the mall side of the building going out into the mall and at the parking lot side of the building. They have a lot of competition with a Sears and a Macy's in the mall, but they seem to hold their own...especially on prices. All-in-all a pretty fair experience. read more

Great location! The grocery and items, as well as plethora of shopping items makes this a one stop shop. Very easy checkout and always a friendly greeter at the door! Awesome experience and my favorite store in the city! read more

I grew up spoiled having a SuperTarget five minutes from my house. They had great fruit selection, excellent signage and tons of checkout counters. This is not the same. While I enjoy Target and it's bright red vibes, I much prefer Kroger in Bloomington for food as it is wayyyy easier. read more

I shop at this Target several times a week and have done so for many years. Employees are very helpful-always ask if I am finding what I need. Check out is fast and courteous. Great store, great prices and friendly/helpful staff. read more

This target had way more street cred back in the early 2000s. There was once an employee there (let's call him Mr.M) that used to make that place as delicious as flavor flav's chicken. You knew when he was working without even seeing him...u would just walk down the aisles and you would smell michael Jordan cologne and Pabst blue ribbon. That smell was a panty dropper and boy did he make dem panties drop. He invented the phrase hit it and quit it and even created the abbreviated version that was just quit it. Ladies have less to worry about these days in btown read more

Worst service! Bathroom dirty! Rob at Starbucks is rude!! And I was discriminated against cause I was a woman.. he treated me different than my husband. On two separate visits.. he told me xx and wanted to charge me extra. Then my husband comes back a few days later to just see if he was telling the truth or just plain RUDE!! He was Rude!! He did NOT charge my husband ANYTHING extra nor advise him the " store polices changed" and he "had to charge EXTRA" he is a LIAR!! He should be trained on policies, customer service and DON'T discriminate. Let me tell you. Not even 24hrs earlier I was at a Starbucks at target and No One told me about theses new charges! I left and went to a real Starbucks and they advise me they DO NOT know of these policy changes nor do they charge for this and did NOT charge me for the same drink I tried to order with Rob. One more thing- I am now back in CA and I have NOT YET heard of these policy changes at Target Starbucks! He is a liar!! BIG LIAR!! read more

NONE of the 10+ employees who i walked passed asked my about my dog, a registered ESA: the 5-6 employees who said my dog was cute, the starbucks associate i asked for water for my dog, the pharmacy tech which i was working with, the security guard i passed at least twice said nothing besides "aww! he's handsome." I happened to leave the store once to get a health insurance card from my car and walked back into the store with my dog a second time. NO ONE ASKED MY ABOUT MY DOG UNTIL THIS STANK-EYED CASHIER. It was only until i reached the cashiers did i begin to feel uneasy. this white associate (she was older and had bleachy-white blonde hair with bangs) said we could go into her empty line. She did NOT smile or make eye contact, or ask how our day was (I was with my mother as well), and just began to ring up items as she kept her eye an the associate at the next check stand. I saw her looking at my dog, and then looking back up to the cashier next to her. I didn't see her make a single moment of eye contact with my mom and i. [Sidenote: Upon talking to my sister later (a local and a minority woman who lives in B-town) she also had problems with cashiers in this store being exceptionally nice to the white people in front of her in line, but extremely cold (even rude) when it was my sister's time to pay for her items.] That second cashier walked by me and my dog and began to SERIOUSLY deliberate with the food server at the target food area. They were in such intense conversation that i saw them both pointing at me (and my dog), and yet they did not even see me watching them. rule number one and two of customer service: do not point, and always be aware of customers around you. The second cashier then approached me and asked if my dog was a service animals, considering that "most service dogs have a vest or a badge." Had her HR or store manager been properly trained on the ADA, service dogs like ESA do no necessarily need a badge. Although i carry his paperwork with me and was willing to show her, she declined my offer. I hope this target learns that B-town is a diverse community, and customers are all the same. Cashiers should treat ALL customers as equals, make them feel welcome. As my sister put it so eloquently "yeah.. that target sucks for brown people." read more

Time for a new review of this Target. This store is very clean and has ample staff working. I've been in it three times since I've moved to town and every time I've been confronted by an employee asking if I needed help finding an item. The truth was, every time I was looking for help. They were very quick to point out the part of the store or weren't afraid of asking other employees on the walkie-talkies they had. They were missing one item that I needed, which I just hopped over to the KMart across the street to get. The next day, they were on the shelf. They may be a bit slow on restocking some of the smaller things (I was looking for converters to grounded outlets). This Target also has a pretty large grocery section. I find this strange since there are an abundance of grocery stores in the area (Marsh, Bloomingfoods, O'Malias, Sahara Mart) that it seems a bit excessive. But this is probably a decision from the higher ups than the local franchisee of this store. The prices seem about right and standard for a Target. All in all, I don't have much to complain about this store. I'll be visiting many times as long as I live in Bloomington. read more

How does one come to Target and spend under $50?? There are things you had no idea you needed-orange flower pot?! Have to have it! Mickey lotion-A MUST HAVE and don't you DARE walk out of of Target without the new specialty flavor of Oreos cookies!! (This time it was rocky road-in an Oreo. ) I went in for supplies for bingo that I am hosting for seniors (not high school seniors, they are not near cool enough for bingo). I had a bit of trouble finding items that are cheap-usually they have the $$ bin at the front but there is a mad rush now for school supplies. Those ARE for seniors and not the bingo playing kind. I spent a bit more than I usually do for bingo but the quality is better so I think it evens out-hopefully the seniors are happy! Stay tuned! Oh-a bit about the store-always clean, the staff here are some of the friendliest people ever, I always have a great experience and I love their stance on life in general. The selection of products is outstanding, always our go to for shopping even tho it's on the other side of town. Go Target! #teamtarget read more

It's always fun browsing the blu-rays here. Like the rest of the chain, this location sells groceries, if you dare. Never been here when it wasn't busy. There's a greazy old snack bar up by the front if you're desperate. read more

I NEVER review corporations on here (unless I need their attention and they are not responding otherwise) but the individuals at this location deserve recognition. I recently moved and have had a plethora of abysmal customer service experiences. This is NOT one of those. I visited the Bloomington, IN location on the evening of Thursday, August 21st at around 10:30pm. The store was utter chaos, at no fault of any employee; it was move-in-day at Indiana University and probably busier that Black Friday. Despite the general, entitled, horribleness of the clientele, everyone was in a wonderful mood - laughing and joking, patiently cleaning and restocking. WOW. The story gets better. I checked out and as I was leaving, my car keys slipped of their carabiner and directly into the sewer grate under my car. I had no idea what to do. I went back inside and approached the Target security guard because I had witnessed her politely, professionally, yet sternly shut down a shoplifter in the act and thus, I perceived her to a woman who could take care of business. She walked with me out to the parking lot and joked with me on the way; I really needed to laugh, which was much appreciated. She went back inside and retrieved a flashlight and what must have been one of the last wire coat hangers left on planet earth. We crouched on the ground together laughing at the absurdity of the situation while she held the light and I jammed my arm as far as I could into the grate. We got the keys out before the mall parking security guard had the chance to respond. Her name is Lindea and she is my hero. She could have easily shrugged me off - the parking lot is not her turf. Instead, she literally rolled her sleeves up and went above and beyond at the end of what had to have been one of the longest days in a Target employee's history AND did so with poise, grace, humor, and a wonderful attitude. Thank you Lindea, and thank you to the people of the Bloomington Target for being wonderful. That woman deserves a medal. read more

OK, a solid target, but not the best. Could use a far better selection of baby stuff (ahem...what about the rest of the Dr. Brown's bottle line). Also could use better restocking- there's always one section of the store that feels like it's under construction and never quite settled down. The staff, however, are super friendly and do their best. It's clearly a customer focused store. read more

Things are good at Target but their service is a little problematic, esp. their refund, return, etc. Here is what I experienced: I bought a bag of coffee there, and I did not notice that it was decaffeinated. (My bad, yes... stupid mistake) When I checked out, the machine has some problem printing out receipts so I said I do not need it. I found the coffee is decaffeinated right after I left the store so I went back. I went to the lady who just helped me check out. She recognized me, yes. And I first apologized for possible inconvenience and told her my issue, her first words, "you said you did not need the receipt. You did not ask for it." Of course... but I am here for help and you know I just bought it here... Then she told me she cannot offer any help and let me see another person. That person, who seemed in charge of checking out, told me that since I had no receipt, I had to go to the customer service. I went there. the lady there was good and tried to help, but they could not find my purchase record in their system. then, the person, who I just talked to and directed me here, came and told me that I had to wait a couple of days till my credit card finishes the transference. But this is the same person I just talked with and let me come here. Seriously? If so why let me spend 5 more minutes dealing with the custom service????? During the whole process, except the lady at the custom service, no smiling, no solution. When I was there, another person wanted to exchange a file folder he just bought, since it was not in a good quality. That person had already grabbed a new one and said he just wanted an exchange. But he was told that he cannot do that. He has to first return the one he just bought at the customer service, and then make a purchase for the new one. This is understandable but inconvenient; plus, no other store does this. Bottom line: when you have shop at Target, check carefully the thing you want to buy. And, always ask for a receipt, even if there is a temporary problem, just wait. read more

A little different than the Target I am used to. Their layout is a bit odd, with cash-registers on both sides (parking-lot and mall). The grocery selection is limited, and they do need more check-out lanes read more

I was affected by Target's credit card data breach; I had to buy some piece of furniture I didn't really need a day before my card was to be deactivated (and a new one was far away in another state), just in case I need it when my card doesn't work anymore. In the end, I never ended needing said piece of furniture. I tried returning it, but it was past 90 days, and Target refused to give me the full price that I paid for the item. They have even refused to give the current selling price for the item, instead giving the lowest price it ever sold for. I asked for a store supervisor, and supposedly I was already speaking with one. I then asked for the store manager, and then somehow that was again the same person. Very disappointed, will never consider Target for anything furniture related again. The said self-proclaimed store manager was nice and friendly, but was insisting that the data breach had nothing to do with my purchase, completely disregarding the major and great inconvenience I have been caused by my card being deactivated. (For what it is worth, I had a huge spending spree during that final week before deactivation, followed by a hibernation until I flew back home to get the new card.) read more

I found an item that I wanted, and bought it. That's kind of the Target motto! I did, however, bring it back and was very pleased that it was as simple as it was. Target gets an A+ for this easy experience alone! read more

Ok, I have to be very clear here - I do not have a specific problem with Bloomington Target. I was unable to find a way to review Target.com, and as such, am attaching my review of Target.com to my local Target. If there is a way to adjust this to specifically match Target.com, then I will do so. I had an absolutely ABYSMAL experience with Target.com one year ago. I ordered a product that never arrived. Then spent nearly 6 months trying to get Target to refund my money. I spent approximately 12 hours on the phone (over multiple calls to their service department) and never did get Target.com to resolve the problem. They (literally) promised to fix the problem, and never did. Eventually I sought legal counsel. It was suggested that since I did not get the product, that I then stop payment through my credit card, which I was able to do. I got my money back, and assume that the bank was able to get their money back from Target.com. The issue is far more complex than stated above - but I will spare details for the sake of brevity. Suffice to say, Target.com has the worse online customer service I have ever seen (or heard of). Avoid using this company at all costs. When it works, I'm sure it is fine. But the moment there is a problem with Target.com then there is little hope of resolution. I had been an ardent Target supporter until this incident. I will still go to the brick and mortar stores, but will NOT order from them online until they demonstrate a much more efficient, customer friendly and solution focused customer service department. read more

Target in Bloomington, IN has the best employees. They always seem to be so happy to be at their job. This morning I had a gentlemen (employee) stop what he was doing in the front of the store and walked with me all the way to the back to help me find what I was looking for. You won't get that type of Customer Service at WalMart. The employees at Target seem to know there store, no matter which dept they work in they guide you to the dept you need to find what you're looking for. The store is always clean. I often shop there discount clothing rack for children and always find something cute for a great price. read more

The Store Manager at this location is irrational and rude!!!! It would be nice if Target offered some sort of training to her that aided in how to speak to Customers intelligently (she has no clue) and she could use some help in the problem solving department! read more

I'm in college; this is my favorite store. I honestly don't need to shop anywhere else. I do, of course, but Target is my favorite. Specifically the dollar spot. Everyone here has always been very friendly; and so far they haven't minded when sometimes the college kids get too excited about the new batman and spiderman toys and play with them. Or nerf guns, for that matter. read more

Would never shop at Target again. Charged $27 for making a double payment, and was said that a wrong account number was entered. Another corporation who values money over customer service! Take your money elsewhere!! read more

Usually very good, great selection - typical Target. Customer service can be hit or miss. Case in point: I was in yesterday and had a woman who was working at the women's fitting room who either didn't seem to realize she was being rude, didn't like dealing with younger women or was having a bad day. I witnessed her be rude to three other women (all who seemed shocked - and two who talked about it to each other as they walked away). When I told her I objected to the way she talked to me she was dismissive. Perhaps a closer look at how employees talk to customers is in order. read more

Quality assurance is lacking and customer service is perverse. I purchased the SAME DESK three times from this store only to find each subsequent desk broken in a different way. Imagine the waste of time this represents. I made my complaint and was essentially told that I need to waste additional time to get this resolved on my own. Target appears to be willing to put up a minimal fight to keep a customer of some 20 years. STAY AWAY. read more
