| - It almost seems pointless to review a big box retail store, but I have issue with this location and how my items ring up. I will use yesterday as a short but accurate example:
I went to purchase a picture frame with my daughter. We bought this and 3 spontaneous purchases. The 3 additional purchases were frivolous and cheap, however it was the bright red SALE sign that attracted to me to these items. And, at the register, none of them rang up at the advertised sale price.
Supposedly the popcorn was on sale for $2.50. It rang up at the normal price of $3.29. The watermelon oreos, which everyone has claimed are gross but are surprisingly good, were on sale for $2.80, but rang up for $3. And lastly, I bought some sour patch flavored gum, on clearance at the register for 60-cents, yet rang up for .99 cents.
YES, THEY DO HAVE SOUR PATCH FLAVORED GUM.
I didn't say anything at the register because I am not going to hold up a line over an extra $1.29 total. Nor am I going to waste my time standing in customer service to embarrass myself over $1.29. But, the problem is that this is exactly what Target expects from us. They basically overcharge ALL OF US every time we shop there. Sure, in minimal amounts, but does that make it right?
It was Sunday so it is very conceivable that this particular store simply did not update their sale advertisements throughout the store and it's more of an issue with location rather Target itself. Hence the yelp review.
Since they have sour patch flavored gum and watermelon oreos (and yes, I realize I have taste buds like a 6 year old), I will probably return anyway. Just be wary of the sale signs - they mean nothing.
