This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I was checking out in a Target store and the clerk asked if I would like a Target special customer card. She said I would get 5% discount off my purchases. I told her I didn't want a credit card, and she said it was a discount card, and she could take my info. quickly and get me checked out. I thought this was like my Kroger grocery card that gives me a discount on certain purchases. After she entered my purchases, she ran my debit card, so I assumed my purchases were on my debit card. Next month I got a bill for the purchases, checked my bank and nothing was paid out of that account. However, the purchases had to be paid in full within 30 days or I would be hit with a 29.96% interest. I called the company and told them to cancel the card; then I was 2 days late on one payment and got hit with their interest and a $25 charge. I will never again go into a Target store. BTW: I was told by a former employee that they are encouraged to "hook" customers into the credit cards. I can pay my off; what about poor people who never get out from under that debt.

"Also, you will notice that while I may be a bit sarcastic, flippant, or sardonic, I never resort to name calling as you have. I stick to facts and my opinion of the complaint - I never get nasty or cuss as you have, and you have the nerve to complain that there is no moderation. Nice debate skills you have." - Beautifully stated.

You got to love new b's like armywife+5 who come on and tell everyone how the site should be run, lots of lulz from this clown. Per Brenda's comment, I too took a look see at the trollwife's history here. Lots of snarky OP bashing. Tsk tsk troll.

Armywife+5, You are a lying c unt. Your own comments prove you a liar. What have you added to the majority of the complaints you've commented on? Nothing but c unty snark. Go piss in an electric outlet skanky b itch.

I doubt Brenda's been kicked out of anywhere. She is a straight shooter from what I've seen and would be an asset anywhere she chooses to participate.

Thanks for confirming the obvious armywife, that your head is stuck firmly up your a ss. Now take a breath mint for that nasty smelly c unt mouth of yours.

You were/are a fetid, foul cu nt. And not the nice, soft, pink, want to cuddle up against it and make sweet love to it cu nt, either. No, I mean the harsh, [censored]ly, grey, reeks of sour milk, dripping with the juices of a dozen sailors (and one agreeable dachshund) kind of cu nt.

So long as you don't whip your flaps out and smear your fetid juices over other board members, I'll have no problems with you.

@ Armywife - Paranoid ###. I'm not SF. And if memory serves, YOU brought your husband into it on the question you posted on. Don't want your personal life or family discussed - don't post it online.

This is why alot of us don't want any of these Target stores to open up in Canada, we see the problems you all are having and we don't want this crap here. We need to figure out a way to put these Target stores out of business. I hate cheap crap any how.

its OK M3C slimjim, I hit a nerve with "Squadfather", I am not worried. lol. i still hate target and hate to see the day they come into Canada, we don't need the cheap garbage here. Why don't you go kill yourself "Squadfather, " YOU WASTE OF SKIN. Maybe you are too poor that you can't afford the better stuff, but a lot of us work hard for our money that we can afford to buy good quality material goods. I feel sorry for you, such an angry angry American who is probably in debt up to his ### and is suffering because of the bad economy. .I DON'T NEED TO IMPRESS YOU OR ANYONE. The truth hurts doesn't it PORKY. ha ha, I am not even fat, I work out everyday, it just shows you how ignorant people like old squadfather is. ha haaha haha haha haha hah. Too funny. WE DON'T NEED TARGET. Canada is thriving and we are all happy.

by the way SQUADFATHER, why is it, that on this complaints board, the majority of complaints are coming from you Americans about bad companies from your own country? And you ignoramuses wonder why we don't want them in ours? You stupid fool. Canada has a reputation of being one of the best ethical countries in the world and we'd like to keep it that way THANK YOU.

Russia is one nation that says so. Canada is a retentive and cowardly nation with a history of coping with an inferiority complex in relation to its bigger brother down south. It also mentions Canada's insecurity over its sovereignty in the Arctic Circle, an issue that has been a touchy subject between the Canadian and Russian governments in recent years.

Anti-abortionists have called the Prime Minister cowardly. The Federation of Canadian Municipalities has been dubbed cowardly by Canadians themselves. George W. Bush was slipped a secret GET OUT OF JAIL FREE CARD from Canada’s cowardly legal powers on 24 October, 2011 allowing the former U.S. president to once again slip through the fingers of justice fighters aiming to bring him in for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity.

To whomever is complaining about target, , , that's why a lot of us do not want this garbage u.s store in Canada. People are losing their jobs at Zellers here just so a god dam target can open up, well these people said they will not work at target, nor will they shop there. I know I won't. target is GARBAGE. Furthermore, Canada does not need any u.s stores here.

Linda, it just shows you how desperate Target is to make money. The Americans don`t want to admit that thier economy is in big trouble so they live in ignorance. Thats why they need to open up thier stores here in Canada. Well, alot of us are starting to shop locallly and support our own country, made in Canada only.
