Target used to be a favorite place to shop, and it still has a wide and fun assortment of "stuff" in virtually every category. This particular location, however, has gone downhill and frankly, it's tainted my feels for the brand/chain in general.
It's always been a chore getting in and out of this store (bordered by Eagle and Chinden); customers and staffers alike share strategies and hacks to get themselves out of the lot and going the right direction, LOL. Even worse though, is the recent challenge of simply maneuvering WITHIN the store. Since early last fall, I noticed that everytime I went in, no matter time of day, there were boxes and unshelved product stacked everywhere, with Target peeps working hard to get merchandise onto shelves. I'd have to move two or three aisles away to simply get through to another part of the store. But (shrug), I thought it was for Black Friday. I went back a few times between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and found exactly the same thing...(shrug) it was Christmas. But, ever since, and over the handful of times I've been in--even to just pick up online orders, the store has continued to be a hot mess.
Part of my going to Target was for a more pleasant and "fun" experience than other similarly stocked and priced chains provide. At this Eagle Rd., location, that's gone, and with its entry/exit challenges, I'm gone too. read more
