Before today I was a huge Target fan. I was actually turned away, because the managers said that I wanted to purchase too much! I've never heard of a business telling a customer that. Don't most companies want loyal customers who spend lots of money in their stores?
I specifically chose this Target to spend $1000 (plus) in order to stock some items for company's office. I asked the manager if they would prefer I take items directly off of the shelf as some items I needed 10-20 of, and I thought they might have merchandise in the back that would make it easier for me to put in a cart and buy in bulk. I didn't go to Costco because the size of the individual items I needed were smaller than I could find there. At Target, I was told that I am only allowed to purchase a "normal amount" of household items, which they said was only about 6-7 of each item at most. I can understand the policy if I was one of those crazy Coupon Queens who jam packed 5 grocery carts full of free items. I wasn't asking to buy a tractor trailer load of items at cost either - I was willing to pay full price for each and every item off of the shelf.
The customer service I received from the managers were lacking. The managers didn't even look at my list! If this is a store or company policy, it wasn't explained to me why I couldn't make my purchases there and I felt as though I wasted my time (and gas money) even driving to this Target location. I didn't want to stay and argue with the managers as to why this was the most ridiculous thing I'd ever heard - so I just left and didn't purchase one item from them.
Unfortunately, this experience left such a poor taste in my mouth that I won't be shopping at this specific Target ever again. Walmart got all of my money today and they actually appointed an employee to help me shop for the items I needed and check me out in a separate line!
