| - When we moved to the area I was happy to see that there was a Target only a few minutes from our place. I prefer Target to Wal-Mart as it is generally a bit cleaner and much less busy. It's a great place to find most everyday items at a good price.
Their clothing line is pretty good and whenever the miss' tells me to get some new duds, this is where I'll be going. There is a small grocery section so if I need to get some general merchandise as well as pick up some food, I don't need to make a second trip to Harris Teeter or Food Lion.
My biggest complaint is the lack of a decent hardware section. I ended up having to make a second trip to Loews to pick up some stuff that Target did not carry.
We also had a problem with the cashier today. The miss' tried paying with a gift card but the cashier was insisting it didn't work. The problem was that she never hit the "gift card" button on the register. So she has the miss' scratching off the gift card's number to try and read it to her, and she's acting like it's our fault for giving her a messed up card. So when I looked at her screen and realized she was entering the gift card's number into the "cash amount" section, I carefully explained what the problem "might" be. She realized the mistake, hit the gift card button, scanned it, and it worked like it should. Instead of thanking me or apologizing for the holdup, she thanked the miss' for scratching off the numbers because "that did the trick", even though she scanned the card and never used the numbers.
But one crazy cashier isn't enough to judge a whole store by. I'll still be going here when I need clothes, gifts, or other items and I'll just be sure to avoid the wacko mentioned above.
