This standard email footer is used to protect attorney-client privilege, which generally applies to communications between an attorney and their client, provided those communications are not disclosed to a third party (or made for the purpose of committing a crime or tort). This is one of the oldest recognized privileges for confidential communications. It is critical to the attorney-client relationship because it gives clients confidence, they can be forthright and their attorneys are then better able to provide candid and effective advice. The possibility of disclosure to a third party is the specific reason the disclaimer is included.

We shopped for groceries and picked up cheeseballs as part of our groceries. Our general understanding, or for that matter anyone's understanding would be that a store like Target will not keep expired items on their aisles, but unfortunately this incident happened to us on 8th October. We did not expect an expired product to be present and picked up a cheeseball container with the impression that they will stack up only fresh/unexpired stock. But only after billing and when we were about to leave the store did we realize that we observe the product was expired. I am attaching a ss confirming this.

We did reach out to staff but they asked us to pick a new unexpired one by ourselves, which took us a bit off as we expected they would help/assisted us in getting the replacement of expired item. But yet we did walk back to the aisle only to find more expired items. We did pick one unexpired cheeseball container though.

But this gives us a negative impression on Target now. We have been shopping there frequently and never check for expire dates on each and every food item we pick. We might now consider visiting to Target and want to caution our friends/relatives to lookout for this.

I've been a loyal Target shopper in-store and online for many years. However, after years of shopping online, Target has been cancelling ALL my online orders. I've chatted with agents online to no avail. I've filed BBB complaints, Target's response is they "stand firm" on their decision. Why is this happening? I've received damaged leaking laundry detergent bottles, reported it, Target doesn't hesitate to replace or refund. Ok, so I accept either a replacement or refund. The last order I received was completely damaged. The liquid detergent cap broke leaked all over the box, the fabric softener bottle was in a plastic bag even so the bottom cracked and the liquid spilled. Four candles were packed in the same box, all 4 glass container candles were smashed to smithereens. I reported it, received a refund. I uploaded pictures. Why is Target doing such a poor job of packing and shipping orders?

I'm at my wits end with Target, so unprofessional, unwilling to keep regular customers who are not at fault of their shipping department's negligent packing!

Operator of truck 172583 driving on I 87 south NY (Governor Thomas E. Dewey Thruway between exit 24 and 23) between 7:35 am - 7:50 am Sept 15 2023. Extremely reckless driving. Came behind me started honking and flashing lights even though I was going 65 mph (at the speed limit). Then went on to pass and tried to force me off the road by quickly merging back into the lane when more than half length of the truck hadn't even passed my car by. I had to slow down around 50 mph to prevent a collision. When he finally merged back he started driving around ~ 55 mph in attempts to frustrate.

Hello ,

my target card got discontinued for non use i applied for another one received it used once kept checking no payment due finally got hold of someone about the issue of me not getting a bill first off i was looking at my old online account thought the new card would roll over found out you don't do that got that straight the guy i talked to said said he understood the problem he would take care of the late fee of $29.00 issue resolved right ~~ NO WAY the very next day after i had paid the bill and got this resolved someone in billing attached a late fee of $29.00 for missed payment on the bill i had just paid ~~ im thinking this is resolved in the meantime of this happening i had surgery was laid out in the hospital and laid out at home i was sick ~~ long story short by the time this issue that had been resolved was now a bill of $101.00 i called explained this had been taken care they said they could only take of 1 late payment i explained what was going on and what had happened i could get no where with this person i asked for a supervisor was denied on multiple request ~~ my only solution at that very moment to end the outrageous billing wasto pay it and cancel my card at that very moment so as not to be charged for things that i should not have been charged for

I placed an online order on 9-2-2023. I paid with a 15.00 target gift card and put the 3.13 balance on my red card On 9-5-2023 I checked my checking account and they had charged the 3.13 and the 15.00 to my account. So I tried to call the store I go to and they would pick up and hang up after it had rang 10 times very unprofessional. So I called the corporate office after going through all the push buttons I got a person who said that the 15.00 had not been charged to me when I told I was looking right at it she told me again I wasn’t charged The supervisor I talked to said they always put the gift card amount as a hold on your red card account until the order is processed and then it falls off after 24 to 48 hours It’s there target gift card why do they need to put s hold on my account. This is wrong. If it were a different gift card or other card fine but there own gift card the hold is ridiculous and business wise very bad . Don’t order anything online and pay with a target gift card

We went to the Target in Lincoln, Nebraska to purchase move in college dorm stuff. Target advertised a 20% student discount for new students. We supplied all necessary information for student verification. Team members told us we would get verification within a few minutes via email. We waited in store for 1 hour waiting for verification, it never came. We called customer service and they were unable to help. They said it would take 1-3 days. We don’t have 3 days, my daughter has no car and this was the only day to move in.

We asked to speak to a customer service supervisor and we got Joe. (No last name). He was extremely rude to both my daughter and myself. Not only was he unhelpful but being rude to customers is totally uncalled for and unacceptable.

The whole college discount appears to be a scam. Customer service should have said, “oh you’re moving in to your dorm, congratulations, show me your ID and here’s your 20% discount” instead of us waiting 1 hour and never receiving the code. Waste of time.

I am receiving emails from a so called attorney citing a docket file, saying this is being filed in court. In review of other complaints I see the EXACT same docket number is being used in every email. This is fraud and it needs to stop. They are using docket 7482496-BS-08-2018.

A Jamika Magro is the email it comes from. Not even an actually corporation email but hotmail.

I received many gift cards from target for my baby shower. 4 of which had zero balance, these cards were not scratched looked brand new. I personally scratched them to discover it had no money on it. I scratched opened these cards in target store in front of the cashier. I contacted customer service to complain they were no help kept asking for receipts of purchase. They wanted me to contact the original owner who purchased the cards. How do I find the original owners of the gift cards when I got several same amount cards. It’s a ridiculous way to find out anything. I’m not contacting all of my guest. I told them in email and over the phone they can check your surveillance footage in store I scratch the cards in stores. Don’t ever purchase gift cards from target they frauds

July 11, 2023 1:30 pm. . Target truck #880047. License plate SP395GMC. Driving west on I-80 just past Bettendorf, Iowa. Noticed target truck tailing us dangerously close and we were already in the passing lane going multiple miles over the speed limit. He screamed obscenities at us and when we drove to get away from him he proceeded to tail gate other cars, again dangerously close. He passed us again later and he leaned over the seat to make sure we could see him flip us off. Not a good look (or good advertisement ) for a target.

I went to all the trouble signing up with the Belair store in mobile.i purchased a $15 Starbucks Card for my sister cinde.well I got the gift card in my email instead of her and tried to forward it to her but it got lost.there is no more trace of the card as it has been one or two months.i am not going to let this slide with your help I can buy you a cup of coffee. LOL

I went to Target on a Sunday afternoon, the 19th of September, and had a terrible experience with the customer service cashier, Naquisha. I had made a purchase of around $50 and was told by the cashier that I could sign up with my phone number and get some money off. However, Naquisha asked me if I wanted my money back instead of giving me a store credit, which I found to be a trick question. I wanted my money back on my card, but they tied up $100 worth of money, and then charged me again. It was frustrating because the bank took forever to process the transaction.

The manager, Heidi, was also rude and unhelpful. She kept asking me how I wanted my money back, even though I had already told her that I wanted it on my card. I felt like they were blaming me for the mistake, even though it was their fault. They tied up $150 of my account, and I was insulted when I told Naquisha that I would have to come back and talk to the manager about what they had done to me. She had a big attitude and no respect for elderly people.

I have never encountered such disrespectful behavior from a cashier in my entire life. Naquisha and Heidi need to learn how to treat customers with respect and not tie up their money. They should be reported on how to treat human beings. I rate my experience at Target as the worst I have ever had. I will never step foot in that store again.

Naquisha and Heidi need to go back to customer service training and learn how to take care of their customers. They were both so disrespectful and unhelpful. I promise that I will put a review on Google about how badly I was treated. Target in Jensen Beach needs to improve their customer service if they want to keep their customers.

I recently had a really bad experience with Target. I ordered a mattress and a bed, and they promised to deliver the mattress on a certain day. I paid extra for delivery, but then they changed the delivery date multiple times. I had to keep moving around and didn't have a place to sleep. I spent three hours on the phone with customer service, but they didn't really help me. I explained that I'm 64 years old and have health problems, but they didn't seem to care. They didn't even deliver the items to my apartment like I asked - they left a dirty, broken box in the doorman's office. I had to pay the doorman to help me carry the heavy mattress to my apartment.

When I finally got the mattress, it wasn't what I expected. It was too soft and not firm enough for my back problems. And when I tried to return it, they said I couldn't because it couldn't be repackaged.

But that's not all - I also ordered a bed from Target, and they didn't deliver it on the promised day. They didn't even send it - it's still in Minneapolis! They keep sending me emails with different information and excuses, and I still don't have a bed to sleep on. I have health problems and need a good bed, but they don't seem to care.

The customer service at Target is terrible. They keep changing the delivery dates and don't seem to care about their customers. I checked my order status and saw that the bed frame was in the warehouse, so I tried to cancel the order. But they refused to let me cancel it, even though I had good reasons.

I really regret ordering from Target. Their products are bad and their customer service is even worse. They treated me like an old, sick person with no respect. I don't recommend buying from Target - it's just not worth the stress and hassle.

So, I bought a dinning set from Target.com and it came all messed up. I tried to contact the maker, but they didn't even bother to respond. So, I reached out to Target for a replacement and return. The replacement was delivered to the wrong house downstairs. I told Target about it and they just told me to go over there and open the package while it's standing up and take out a piece at a time for the ones I need to replace. Are they kidding me? That box was huge! It was three times my width and heavier than me. I'm not taking that risk. The box even said to lay it flat before opening. Target just said too bad.

I called them again and they said they would come and pick up both packages, the damaged one and the one that was delivered to the wrong place, and refund me. But guess what? They didn't refund me at all. I called, chatted, showed delivery proof, and was told they have a system. They need to transfer my case to the investigation team, then the research team, then the specialist team and then to processing and such, then refund. But they never even transferred my case to any team when I contacted them again a week later. The chat rep told me to just contact my bank.

I did and it took weeks more plus a complaint to the BBB for Target to refund me. And then they sent me a collection letter telling me I owe them the money. What the heck? I contacted my bank and was told they are still under investigation and need Target to contact them directly as I have handed the case over to my bank. But Target just won't and keeps sending debt collection letters with threats of me not being able to use my RED card again and such.

So, to avoid any hit on my credit and stuff, I have to send in another payment that I do not owe to Target. This is ridiculous. Hopefully, it's a learning lesson and when this clears, I will cancel the RED card. I started using it because I gave up on Walmart, but sadly this year, Walmart online has beat Target's new "improved" system for sure. The 5% off on the RED card is for sure not worth the trouble.

I have since then done all my shopping mainly on Amazon. The comfort of having decent/good customer services helps me more than a few dollars discount. So, beware if you buy anything expensive and large from Target that comes damaged, it's like giving birth each time you contact them.

I used to be a big fan of Target, but my recent experience with their online store has left me feeling disappointed. I decided to purchase a smart TV from Target.com and selected the option to pick it up at my local store on Thursday night, with plans to pick it up on Friday. The TV was on sale and showed as being in stock, so I thought it was a great deal. However, shortly after making the purchase, I received a message saying that the TV was no longer available for store pickup and that I should choose one of the other available options.

The other options were not ideal. I could either pick it up at another store, which sent me back to my local store, indicating that the TV was in stock. Or I could choose shipping, which said it would not ship to my address. The last option was to choose another item, which was the exact same TV, but at full price, not the sales price. I was baffled by this option, and it only got more confusing as the situation played out.

I decided to call the store manager to complain about my experience and ask for the smart TV at the sales price. She checked their inventory and explained that the online inventory was in error and different from their store inventory. Unless I wanted to purchase the floor display model, which I did not, she did not have the TV to sell me. She offered to see if it would come on the expected Friday or Saturday deliveries or to work with me on the price of a different TV. I said that we could see if it would arrive. I was upset to learn that a store manager can't adjust the order to get an item in order when a customer has been mistreated. It's ridiculous!

Of course, the TV did not arrive with the deliveries on either day. On Saturday, I called Target.com customer service, but they were unable to locate the smart TV anywhere within the Target system in order to send it to me. So Target sold me a smart TV, but wouldn't actually allow me to purchase and take ownership of said TV. Thanks, Target!

As I explained to both the store manager and the customer service representatives, I can't stand Walmart. However, within 2 minutes on their website - and no hassle whatsoever - I purchased the smart TV that I wanted, and they confirmed they are preparing to ship it to me. I hate that Target's comedy of errors in this situation has made Walmart look good.

Sure, Target is sending me a small gift card for my inconvenience, but I can't use it toward the TV they sold to me, but won't actually allow me to have. It's frustrating and disappointing, and I'm not sure if I'll be shopping at Target again anytime soon.
