The store was a mess. Clothes were fallen down in almost every department, the trash cans out front were over flowing with trash, and the bathroom soap dispensers (two of them) were out of order and taken apart fully. The batteries were missing on one and were on top of the sink for the other one. A stranger and I had to pull the soap out and manually pump it just to wash our hands. The self check out line was backed up across the aisle and all other check out stations were empty. I was offered to check out at Starbucks. I was born and raised in Joplin so this was a pretty surprising and disappointing experience. read more

There recently all self check out were closed. Only one cashier and several people in line waiting. I didn't feel like what I needed to buy was worth the wait. Other places to shop without the wait. read more

This location continues to get more and more disappointing. I had an entire cart FULL of about $300 worth of items. There are plenty of employees throughout the store. I go to check out, and am told the only option is self checkout. I absolutely would have put everything back but I needed this stuff so I checked myself out, lol. All the while, a young woman (an employee) just stared at me while I was checking out. There were no other customers around. So you're telling me she couldn't have scanned my items? I will not be coming back to this location. This was the worst case of lack of customer service I have encountered in a long time. With things so easy to purchase online, I would think Target would treat customers who actually come into the store with a little common courtesy. read more

Target - Department Stores Near Me - Joplin, Missouri

Zero cashiers, all self check out. If this kind of "service" continues, I'd rather use Amazon for delivery, or go to another store. Thanks for locking up the electric razors too, I bought a cheaper one so I didn't have to wait for someone to run around and get keys. read more

I'm so freaking mad. My family and I needed to go here for an emergency, and on their site it says they're open till 11:59. When we got there at 11:20 all the lights were off and no one was there. So mad!! read more

Target, you need to rethink your association to TD Bank USA, N.A. for your Red Card. They'll run all your customers away. Got a debt consolidation loan to have a single payment. Took a check, made out to Target from my bank with a notation of my account number on the check on May 14, 2021 (payment due date). The check was not written on my personal account, but a check directly from my bank. The local store in Joplin accepted the check, and they payment was posted to my account May 15. Target then refunded the late fee that was charged because the payment was made on time, they were just to lazy to post it the same day. August 1, Target reverses the store payment (my account online says Target returned the payment to my bank) and charged me late payment interest DAILY on Aug 1, 2 and 3. Once I figure out who is calling me 4-5 times a day, I call guest services (after normal banking hours) and the woman said I owe it. The woman I talked to was absolutely horrid, very hateful and condescending. I told her I had paid it once and was getting in touch with my bank. Made contact with my bank on Aug 4 and they said they have never received the check, either as a processed payment (because the Joplin store lost it?) or the returned payment like it says online. My bank stopped payment on the original check, deposited funds into my account and I called Target back to make a payment, again. They wanted account and routing numbers and I made them do a debit card transaction. Now they are trying to still charge me for the 4 days of late payment interest. As of midnight, it's still showing as a balance on my account. That's 4 business days since the second payment was made to pay off the account! BS! Like the employees in Joplin are just randomly going to pick someone and submit a payment of less than $100 to pay off the balance of an account without an actual check! This is seriously making me rethink my association with Target. Amazon here I come! read more

Target - A screenshot of my target account showing their absurd activity. - Department Stores Near Me - Joplin, Missouri

This is a nice painted Target. I like the Customer-Service. And It's a handy cool store! I think It's handy because It has cool air when hit. It's a nice place! The only think I don't like is the big lines. But it is what it is. Great Job! read more

I've seen maybe the worst Target (see my review for the Exterior Street, Bronx Target https://www.yelp.com/biz/target-bronx-3?osq=target) and some of maybe the best Targets...and this Target is mighty fine. It is clean. It smells nice when you walk in (the Bronx one always smelled like...well, it's not polite to say). The employees are generally friendly and decent. The aisles are orderly and free of trash and clutter. All things you expect, but believe it or not, some Targets just can't say for themselves. This is a nice Target store. If you like Target, you ought to like this location. No complaints from me. read more

Everyone loves Target. It may cost a little more than Walmart but if you use your Target card you get 5% off. If you use you're Rx discount card (you get one after five prescriptions are filled) you get another 5% off. They will also take multiple coupons. They honor theirs, the web coupons scanned off your phone, and product coupons all on the same purchase. They also have a Starbucks as your entering or leaving the store, ( depending on if it's morning or night ), so you can spend the money you just saved on coffee. read more

Always enjoy the Target store in Joplin Mo! There are always things we love that are exclusively at Target, specifically brands of coffee! We also have the option to get cheap popcorn, pretzels, or pizza after shopping which is very popular with my daughter. Overall, very clean store with a great product selection! read more

I was looking for a job during the quarantine and I applied at Target in Joplin, MO. I applied online and scheduled my first phone interview online. On the day of the phone interview, I waited thirty minutes after my phone interview was supposed to start and had to call HR to remind them of my interview. We conducted the interview an hour late but it went well. The manager said that they would reach out in a few days to schedule a second in-person interview. They never reached out to me. I called HR again to schedule my in-person interview. I showed up to my in-person interview early just to wait 15 minutes so they could find a manager to conduct my interview. The manager asked me the exact same questions after I told her that I had already answered these questions in my first interview. After my interview, she said that they would reach out in a few days to tell me if I got the job or not. After a week of waiting, I called HR today. After being on hold for 15 minutes for guest services to find someone from HR to talk to me, I did not receive the job. This Target's lack of communication, initiative, and organization makes me glad I did not receive this job and that I will be going back to my job at Vera Bradley soon. read more

Rarely ever any lanes open, all white staff ( Why no black workers????) no urgency while working over all the worst experience I've ever had at any target and I've been to plenty throughout the USA. read more

Nice store but I wish they had quicker clothes turnover. Seems like the same stuff every time. Didn't have Mountain Dew in 2 liters. Some employees talking in isle about not work stuff. We went to self checkout and no problems. read more

As my grandmother would say one of the "worser" ones around. I have this theory. I believe a bunch of homeless people are living inside this store. I believe that they stole a bunch of Target employee tops to blend into the background and now just wander aimlessly throughout the store. A little smaller than some Targets, though a larger food section. I suspect they carry a larger than average food section, including fresh produce due to the lack of competition of major grocery stores in the area. As with the other stores in this large mass that passes as a shopping center, be unfamiliar with the road layout could land you in an accident. Be familiar with the road layout and be in an accident with someone who doesn't know there used to be a stop sign here, there used to be a turning stripe there or that what they view as the left lane is the wrong lane. Most of the staff haven't got the concept of work down. Maybe there's some sort of work program where people just show up, walk around and get paid. I don't know. I do know many employees haven't a clue. I also discovered that Target, as well as a few other stores in town, are selling grey market, fake knock-off products as the real thing at the full price. BioSilk is the product. They had this at what seemed to be a very good price. But wait, that's not all! An even better buy was the combo pack of BioSilk. The original product plus their shampoo. Factor the cost and the combo pack was cheaper than the single. What a great fantastic buy! But, there's more! Took the single bottle and the combo pack. Both were the same size bottle. Put them side by side and turned them upside down. Both had an air bubble racing to the top do to the fact of gravity. However, since this was the same product, the same size bottle only one was packed with a second type of their product, you'd think the air bubble would reach the top about the same time. No! The two-pack, which was by far cheaper, beat out the other bottle every time. If one bottle was a great deal colder than the other, that makes thet fluid flow slower. If one bottle was a different design maybe that could account for it. But these were the same. Only difference was one was packed with a second product and the other was a stand alone, same product but more expensive. Hmmmm... Could one be cut with water or some other substance to make up the price difference? I asked one of the few people who were actually working. The guy actually took the bottle out of the two-pack, scanned the bar code on it with that of the single. Same thing except the one bottle clearly had a thinner substance in it. FAKE! FAKE! FAKE! This Target also carries a decent line of some auto parts like wipers. But the extra cost is worth passing and going on to O'Reilly down the road. Maybe if you don't want to take the extra time and want to waste a lot of money on a brand name wiper that comes in a better grade at about the same price at the auto parts store, your choice. Somewhat of a disorganized men's section of clothing. You just have to wonder with the way this place is run if it's not one of those set up programs that prank people. I know that on the whole, it's a somewhat of a joke when you walk in the door. If it's a particularly boring day and you have the time, play the find it game. Ask an employee--once you find one--if they have a particular item. They will likely say no. Then go and find it! When you find it, take it and show it to the employee and tell them where it is. It's amazing how little they know about so much that they should. read more

First let me say that this is NOT a reflection on our lovely Joplin Target store. It is however a review of one of the Target policies. Specifically, after placing an order recently for bedding online, the item arrived looking absolutely NOTHING like the picture, not even remotely close. I had to go online and look at what I ordered, assuming that I had ordered the wrong item. But it was the correct item. Disappointed, I returned the item to the Joplin store the following afternoon. I asked the young man in the service department who nicely helped me ... "And this amount will be put back on my Target Red card so I can go home and purchase something else today?" And he said "Oh absolutely". I came home, checked my online account. No refund. Checked at midnight. Uh-uh. Checked at noon today, still not there. So I called the customer service number. The young woman who came on the line couldn't keep her mouth shut long enough for me to fully explain the situation and when she did finally shut up, and I told her she said "our policy says that the amount will be put back on your account in 1-3 days." I explained that they didn't wait 1-3 days to take the money out of my account and I wasn't willing to wait, especially after I had been guaranteed in person that it would be fully credited as soon as he entered the return. WHICH is as it should be. She continued to fill the air with her own voice and finally, I asked to be sent to her supervisor. The supervisor came on after an extremely, felt like intentionally long, hold time. I explained succinctly what the situation was and she explained the same thing. BUT, she could send me to credit card services to see if I could get satisfaction there. Not wanting to fill my Saturday any further with this Target crap any further, and feeling my blood pressure heading into dangerous levels, I said 'no thanks, I'll buy from someone else' and I hung up. If I could give zero stars I would have. This may be the policy at other stores as well, but my dealings were with Target today. With so many other places to buy from, I would suggest that Target get it together and find a more "customer service" FRIENDLY and HONEST way to handle these matters. They don't hesitate to ding you if your payment is late, they do not wait to charge account when you order something, should NOT be difficult to come up with a system where as soon as a refund is presented, and Target accepts the refund, the credit is right back in your account. UNACCEPTABLE. And it is unacceptable that they do not train their employees with this so that they don't mistakenly tell customers wrong information. I'll just go next door to Kohl's. read more

It's a nice store. Most of the employees seem nice and helpful. They have a decent sized grocery section. The only complaint i have is one morning when i was buying groceries i also picked up a bottle of wine. The cashier was pretty judgemental about me buying alcohol of a morning. read more

Not better or worse than any other Target. Some folks are a little sketchy and Walmart-sque, but it is what it is.

There are 14 checkouts, 3 of them being express which are rarely open. The last half a dozen times I have tried to buy something there is usually only one lane open and backed up. Get some self checkouts or at least use the same amount of people checking out that you have in your in store Starbucks. read more
