07/28/2018 - 11:20 A.M. We visit this store to buy some food containers and kitchen gadgets. When we are ready to check out we go to the guest service area. There is a Caucasian young heavy built lady wearing glasses. I asked her if we could pay our merchandise there. She said yes with an unfriendly face and added that she was going to finish what she was doing (she had an I-pod cable in her hand) first. I said O.K. and we wait, but she seems to be doing nothing just stalling. My wife said there was a register near which had no paying customers. We go there and find a lady in the middle of paying her items and being tended by a Hispanic cashier. I look at the guest service area and notice that a couple of Caucasian customers with two kids ask the same lady we approached previously if they can pay their merchandise there. The lady instantly puts the cable aside and says sure! and begins taking care of them. I guess we were too Hispanic for that woman and because of that we did not get service or a smile. The Hispanic cashier who charged our merchandise was very friendly and helpful. I commented to her the incident and she asked us who the person was. A personal note to this is that I live in Laredo, TX and most of the customers Target has are Hispanics. I have been in Austin TX too and the same deal happens; most of the customers are Hispanic. I did not expect Target to have an employee who would be friendlier and helpful to people of her own race but the opposite to those of us who have the wrong skin color. I will warn my co-workers and friends about this particular store in order to avoid them a sour experience. Just when I thought bigotry and racial bias were something of the past...

Today a couple who shopped at this Target was discriminated against based on their ethnicity/appearance. Here is what happened. My husband and I just left this Target approximately 30 minutes ago. A couple left the store prior to us. They were clearly Hispanic and the man had a lot of tattoos. As they left the store an employee asked for their receipt and verified their purchase. Shortly after my husband and I left and no one questioned us or checked our receipt. The man asked us as we left if our receipt was checked and we chatted with him briefly about his experience. My husband shared with him that he is Mexican, but looks white and has managed to avoid being discriminated against while friends and family who do not share the same features haven’t been as lucky. We apologized to him for his experience and I left feeling angry and sad and frustrated for this couple. I hope someone at this store sees this review. I will be sending this review directly to the store as well. Do better Target! Another guest saying I’m sorry to this couple wasn’t enough to make up for what you did to them today.

I've never been to this Target location before & I am definitely a proponent of Target over the other options available in the marketplace. But I have never been to this part of town before, and from the minute I walked in the door I was in a bad mood. Now that said from now on based on my experience today I will go out of my way to come to this target every time I need to go to Target in San Antonio. And I was in a rush to find something very specific, and then I ran into BENJAMIN GREGORY. I'm so glad that I did, because with the attitude I walked into the store with I don't know if anyone else would have been able to tolerate my negative attitude, he was able too help me get out of that negative State I was in, and focus on finding exactly what I was at there for in the first place. If you ever visit this area of town and are fan of Target make sure when you come here, if you have a question, ask for Benjamin Gregory, you'll be Glad that you did.

I went to this Target to buy eye drops. I picked up a six-pack of Guinness extra stout. When I got the cashier they changed to Trey, a guy with long hair, he said I need to see your ID. Here at Target we ID everybody. I am 62, that time when I felt like it is compliment to be ID has passed, HEB, Walmart, and all other places never ask for an ID. So I took my ID out and showed it to him was not enough. He said he must take the ID, and he did and started to bend like he was going to fold it and acted like he was going to scan it on his screen. I told him to give my driver's license back and to cancel the purchase and I will go elsewhere. I got the feeling like he did not like the color of my skin, and that my driver's license was fake. All he had to do was check my birth date on the license. I went to HEB and bought the same items and no ID was asked for. Trey and Target have a problem with 62 year old buying beer there.

Edit: this location's customer service has improved dramatically. There are helpful people who check on you to proactively offer assistance. Got a star back! This is a smaller store so they don't carry as much as other stores and often don't have the things on their Cartwheel app. All that would be fine if you could get assistance when you have a question. With a few exceptions, it's as though they train evasive maneuvers and how to avoid eye contact to escape customer contact. This is frustrating and fairly consistent. As mentioned before, there are a few exceptions and I try to go to the same gentleman when checking out as he is friendly, thorough, careful, and provides helpful suggestions. I don't recall his name but he's an older gentleman who is actually smiling. This saved a star in the review.

Ooh, what a rare treat. State specific shopping! Nice. Target never fails to impress, even lacking in sales as usual. If I want to save money, I should visit daily and hunt for bargains. Spend to save! The layout is weird because this is a smaller shop. Everything is present, but it is not well spaced out. The clothing sections are huge. One highlight is the surprisingly well stocked books section. It can compete head to head with an actual bookstore! The grocery section is compact in comparison. Starbucks is inside the store, small but cozy, and there are lots of those bright studded tumblers. eye candy bliss but tactile hell.

Always clean. Nice employees. Easy to return things. However, most of the time you have to self check out. I have observed that this is a shoplifter's dream. You can easily 'forget' something in your cart and the people standing there who are supposed to be watching are usually involved in conversations with each other. If Target is losing money, it's no wonder. But this store is convenient for me and though the home goods products are 3 times more expensive than they should be, you can still find bargains. I like the food section though choice is limited. For some reason, you cannot buy cucumbers. All in all, it's a good, well-run store.

Horrible customer service. The girl who processed my return barely said two words to me. Literally "receipt" and the amount being returned to my card. I was super friendly, smiling, tried to make conversation. She just glared. My sister was rudely accosted by the employee named Christian at the front door and turned away for trying to enter without a ___ due to her health exemption. I could go in still, but then I was treated poorly?? I don't get it. Corporate fiercely apologized and agreed that situation should have NEVER happened and said the store would be notified and make it right. But still very disappointed in this target.

I dont get the 5 stars reviews. I wish everyone would stop shopping here because the parking is terrible, the lack of cashiers is terrible, the size of the store is terrible, the inventory is TERRIBLE. This is single handedly the worst target in a 50 mile radius that I have been to. I'm sad this is the only one in my city. And for me the icing on the cake is that they have the smallest most disorganized collectible section of any target I have EVER been to, that never has any collectibles of any consequence. Looking for that new hot collectible? Look somewhere else. This ain't the one. You can barely call this place a Target.

This target, compared to some others is ok; it’s not bad. They have most of the things you need or might want, they just don’t have as large of a selection as some of the other stores I have seen. Their store, although clean and maintained, feels dated. This is a me thing that really doesn’t reflect on the store; they only have one set of doors. I don’t like the feeling of potentially being trapped if that door is blocked. (I realize there are emergency exits and other ways out, but for the normal, public entrances. Again this is a me thing; I get it.)

Update 6/17/22; part of the issue has been solved, but I believe it is the restaurant Cava that took action to move this particular group. While in the store the employees are usually helpful and the store is clean. But until this particular Target chooses its customers safety over the homeless population growing in their parking lot, I’m choosing to take my hard earned money elsewhere. The situation is only getting worse and I’m tired of being approached by panhandlers every time I park or return to my vehicle. It’s not a safe situation for anyone.

I've shopped in store as well as In Store Pickup and Drive Up. This is a smaller Target but overall I've always been happy with the selection of products, product display, cleanliness of store and helpful store staff. We often use the Target App for the Cartwheel offers (some offers are In Store only). We have been happy with the quality of products - we have purchased an array of products: clothing, makeup, home accessories, small groceries and gifts. I'd recommend Target and this particular store in general - happy\satisfied customers.

Long Lines, and no carts because no one was retrieving them from the parking lot or maybe all the homeless that hang out at this Target was taking them. 2 registers opened with lines 15 deep. Several customers abandoned their carts and walked out. This is my 3rd visit where this was the case, chaos and disorganized. I feel sorry for the employees as they are severely understaffed. I went to Brook hollow HEB which I should have done in the first place where they have actual people with plenty of registers open and no Homeless people.

So freakin HOT in there 10/12/23...OMG...it felt like the heater was on.....i wanted to finish shopping but couldn't handle it...i even asked a couple of employees if it was hot to them too or did i have a fever lol.....they were hot too.... then another lady around my age said "geez I thought i was having a hot flash" i noticed she checked out same time as me.....darn it...i really wanted to get a bunch of stuff....had to go to HEB... Don't think I'll come back to this location again until January or February.

I'd like to give 5 stars because the stores always in good condition, However I can never find help when on the floor and the two or three check out personnel always seem to be tired or just stressed out. Perhaps this store needs better staffing so they are not being overworked and so customers on the floor can get the help they need. Very large parking lot with several entrance and exit points. Easy to see off the highway. Fix the moral and staffing levels of your crew and I'll change my rating.

I have been an honest customer at target especially 281 bitters rd, lately they stopped playing music, I kept telling the employees and the managers if they want customers to comeback they are gonna have to play music, all other Target stores have music except the one on 281 bitters, The managers said they don't want to play any music, they are chasing customers away because it is too quiet. Avoid shopping @ th@ target 281 bitters san antonio, or better yet start boycotting,

My family and I stopped at this store when we were driving into San Antonio. The associates were rude and unhelpful. They acted as if they were too busy to be bothered. It is a really small store. There were not that many people in the store shopping. Because, three or four different employees had a bad attitude, it felt like it was a bad store vibe. Maybe they need someone to come in and retrained and lift them up and motivate them to feel good about where they work.

Great location with friendly and helpful staff. We came to this location to get a Harry Potter LEGO that was listed as available on the Target website. We were sad to find it was sold out, but the employee in electronics went above and beyond. He double checked the back, and when he couldn’t find it, he located another Target close by that had it. He then called to confirm it was in stock and had them place it on hold for us. Store was also clean and well organized!

Recently bought online for pick up and it's such an easy process. I get to see which store has availability. I picked one because it's on the way when i run errands. When i got inside the store, i was directed to a person standing who took my order number and name. It took him less than five minutes to grab my order and hand it to me. I will do this again since it's is convenient. I don't have to roam around the store to look for it.

We love our local Target Store in San Antonio, Texas. We recently moved from Oregon and it is like finding a familiar face. A few things are different from our Oregon store, but a few things are exactly the same: Unique items we enjoy and need, great selection and prices, but best of all wonderful, friendly, helpful staff quick with a smile and a welcome and just as fast to provide assistance when we need it. Love Our Target Store!

Please please replace the carpet by the entrance! It's obvious you had a sewage leak from the restroom and never properly cleaned the carpet, because for several years the smell of urine at the entrance has been overwhelming, to the point where I shop at a much further target. I went the other day to the pharmacy out of necessity and it still smells like a dirty diaper in this store!! Horrid.

I’m so over the stereotype that bc of my appearance I need to be watched extra by the managers or even the employees who have to look under only my cart as I’m walking out. I got dirty looks and a rude tone towards the self checkout staff. Ridiculous, if you’re that worried that people are stealing, then stop allowing self check out. I was in such a great mood until I left the store.

Not sure why this happened today, as it has never happened before. I had a lot of items and all registers were unattended, so I was directed to a self check out. I was helped eventually by a nice attendant because my items kept falling off the bagging station. If you are going to expect us to bag multiple items, at least give us the space to do it or the option of attended check out.

An older gentleman was working at the register. He was so sweet and helpful. I am a millennial and still couldn’t figure out how to use the target app for discounts. He helped me out and was so nice about it. He loaded our groceries with such thought and was very pleasant to interact with. We appreciate Target employing such good employees. That is what keeps us coming back.

Staff is always ready to help. At this store, the staff has shown me how to save by teaching me about the Target app. The store has items in stock that I’m looking for and staff always ready to help if I can’t find something. I have been shopping at Bitters/281 Target for over 14 years. The pharmacist at this location are also very helpful, considerate and knowledgeable.

Meh. For safety—Day shopping only. Inside: Small, no/unseen employees on the floor & neglected checkout (1-2 employees during busy hours) to aggressively ENCOURAGE your working & paying Target via “Self-Checkout” (yes, I’m talking to all of you grocery, retail stores doing the same!). Outside: parking area can be just as “shady, walking dead style” as the rest of area.

This is a small Target, but they have a good variety. The parking situation, however, is SO ridiculously STUPID. I don’t understand it, but if I gotta walk a little bit, then I gotta walk a little bit. It’s not gonna stop me from shopping here. I just don’t understand why handicapped parking is further way than the 6 parallel parking spots they have right in front.

It says it opens at 7am but the doors are still locked at 7:30 and lights off. Tried calling every number but once you reach a department it says it is a non-working number. I had to pick up a last minute item for work and now I have no time to even go to another target. They could have at least put a sign on the door if they were planning on opening late.

Went to Target Sunday afternoon for some shopping. At checkout time I noticed my phone was missing. Sales person was very kind took my information and would keep an eye out for it. A few minutes after I got home I heard the phone ringing. It was under the sofa. Yes it was a Target Sales person calling to see if it found it. Thanks a million Target!

The staff is always so kind and helpful at this location. I come on a weekly basis, sometimes even multiple times a week. On my most recent visit, I was disappointed that the Target brand of Allegra was unavailable for purchase, apparently due to a recall, but wow, the staff was quick in helping me find the best match for the best price.

A smaller version of the Super Targets and others in the city. I believe this is the second smallest in the city. They lack certain things that I seem to always need. But good selection of most things. They have a tiny fresh grocery section and some frozen aisles. Bathroom is almost always nasty though. Needs a makeover.

This target feels smaller and less busy than most others. That may not be the case, but it certainly has that vibe. The prices are comparable to any other, though. Drive in from the rear of the store for the easiest access. The front area of the parking lot is poorly marked and accidents are very possible.

While I would give Target a 5 star review, it's pretty expensive depending on what you get and how much you get. Despite Target being expensive at times it offers a lot of things to purchase and even includes a Starbucks! ( The Starbucks there is pretty good, it's also expensive but convenient. )

The transient population that has permanently (it’s been at least two months) made residence on the outskirts of this Target‘s parking lot will try and break into your vehicle if you park too close to them. I called trying to get ahold of store management but could not get anybody on the phone.

Stopped shopping at Walmart for the same reason I'm stopping shopping here. I hate that they force you to use self checkout. Why am I buying your goods and coming to a store if I have to wait in line 20 min to check myself out. Amazon now is getting the rest of my business. This is ridiculous.

This is a smaller Target store but they still have a wide variety of items. The store does look a little run down but it has been there for many years. There are also not enough registers open for check out, the numerous times I have been to this location, but the lines move fairly quickly.

Love the staff and the great selection! This is an older Target so not quite as shiny as some, but the staff makes up for it. Special shout-out to Mona who helped check me out. She could train all other customer service people in the US because she was so extra wonderful and patient!

The staff here could do a lot better. Every time I ask anyone a question their immediate response is to send me to another store. I really wish they would get it together because this store is in an ideal location but until then I’ll make the drive to the Target at the Vineyard.

This is our local Target, and it is always a joy to go to even during the busy times of year. All of the staff is friendly and quite helpful. The store is clean and comfortable. I go to this location every time as it is not only close, but also a great experience each time.

By ordering online and picking up in store I was able to secure the shoe size I needed and not have to pay shipping fees. I was driving right by Target anyways so it didn't take much time out of my day at all! Extremely quick service in store with no wait in line at all!

Target is known to target nonwhite shoppers, and this Target does that. I remember this guy who randomly popped up while I was in self checkout lane. His “helpful” spirit was very conniving. That visit was my one and only visit. Beware of the profiling in this store!

The people who work here are rude, have no customer service skills. The kids at the check out were too busy talking about who they were going to have sex with and what they say she is good at. Must be desperate for anyone to work here. Last time I come to this store.

Very limited selection and the employees don't seem to care about anything (not in a cool emo-way). I came happy and left not feeling anything at all, thank God razor blades were on sale. Pro-tip: be sure to go down the street, don't just cross the road. THREE STARS!

I received excellent customer service from Grant. He listened well to my request, found the correct online price, asked if there was anything else he could help me with, then checked me out promptly and correctly. He was friendly, courteous, and very helpful.

WOW is all I can say. I’ve been coming to this Target for probably 15 years and it’s usually a good visit but today, I was approached by FIVE employees one every few minutes asking if I needed help with anything. Whatever y’all are doing in there, don’t stop!

The original item I ordered turned out not to be in stock after all. They quickly let me know via push message on the Target app. I ordered a different but similar item and was able to keep the same pick up time. The customer service was good as usual.

I arrived around 10am today and there was the most friendly person at the front greeting everyone with a cheerful, “Good Morning!” That just made my day. She had brown hair with a bit of peach or pink in it. I could tell she meant it! Thank you!

Not terrible, better than most Walmarts. About half of the employees have somewhat poor attitudes and seem to lack enthusiasm in their jobs, the front restrooms are generally dirty, but the store overall seems fairly well clean and maintained.

first time I had been to this target and I loved the way they run the store and will be visiting way more often on this particular visit I had a coupon and was helped out I like that the store is very very clean and very bright enjoyed myself.

I ordered for pickup and as soon as I got there and went inside I walked to the pickup area and there was nobody there. But as soon as I turned around another employee immediately noticed and helped me out. Service was super fast and amazing.

women's clothing area is always well kept & organized. Don't come here for in depth selection though. This store is older/smaller so doesn't have the variety of the newer/bigger ones. Staff is always kind, bathrooms can be a bit sketchy.

My husband and I are under the weather, so I was able to make a quick curbside pickup instead of going inside. I really like how helpful and prompt the team at this Target is. They really go above and beyond with their customer service.

Associates are helpful most of the time but the stores displays have collected a lot of dust over the years. I had pictures of the sport bras on displays, the dust was so bad and even worse the next year That's it...dust your shelves.

Target was not paying attention today. Notice the rust and dents on the tuna can? Also there is no Expiration date stamped on the can. It’s difficult to believe Target would actually allow this on the shelf much less sell it.

Had what I needed at the correct price as what I saw on the app before I went to store & they were on the aisle as shown on the app so I could get in & out quickly. Courteous cashier & got a discount with my red card. Thx! Ej

We are fed up with using self checkout. This Target never, ever has lanes open. When I have a full cart & kids I do not want to use self checkout. Start opening lanes or maybe you should pay me for doing your job every time.

Customer service exceeded expectations. We were greeted/acknowledged by every single staff member: as we entered, passed throughout the store, paid, and exited and not once did it seem forced. Love this Target as a result.

The only store I've gone too that forces you to use self checkout lines. I now have to work the register, scan my own items, and bag them myself. Why not just give me a redshirt and I'll restock some items while I'm there.

We got the absolute best customer service here! HUGE shoutout to Jared and his manager who were so friendly and helpful. Jared was amazing and threw in some great gardening advice with our purchase! Thank You Target team

Higher priced than Walmart on most items. Higher than HEB on many items. Caters to the upper middle class wage earners, not the middle class and below. Even the more affluent will bypass it if item is cheaper elsewhere.

I do a lot of curbside and every time I use this service at Target, I have not had any issues. Customer service is always cheerful, polite and energetic. I have to hand it to these young kids working out in this heat.

Smaller store but I like that about it. The staff was a bit rude, but they were over whelmed and training a new person so I understand. Clean store well set up and organized. Good selection.. Will go there again.

The amazing service provided to me by Angie. I was returning a shirt and an iron and she went the extra mile! Kudoos to this particular location management is doing an awesome job training their employees!

Always mice and clean. However the checkout process is similar to Walmart. Never enough associates at the registers. The employees you find, are for the most part friendly and helpful. Gotta love target

I love the Bitters Target. It's literally the highlight of my day right now to go in there. I just love the way everything is set up and how the store makes me feel. Good vibes all around at this store!

excellent customer service, great selection of products and so much like the incentives to use my own shopping bag - 5 cent coupon :) and Target sells products made from recycled materials - yay!!

Because of how easy it was to pick up in the store. If you haven't tried it before you should try it now you don't have to hunt the product down they do it all for you it makes it so much easier

When I arrived to pick up my order I had a return from a previous order. The associate was so kind to pick up my order and bring it to me while I waited in the return lune! Very impressive!!

Convenient and close to home. Although this store has those self-check out lanes, there is still someone standing there to ring up purchases the old fashioned way. Usually with a smile too.

This store fit the bill because I was chasing inventory, but I would normally prefer a plus store as apposed to a regular Target store in order to have a larger assortment to choose from.

Last time I came to shop I was told the Special needs shopping cart had been stolen. I haven't been back since. I hope it gets replaced so we can come back and shop there again some day!

Fantastic experience! Easy ordering on the app, no minimum needed for curbside pick up, and orders are ready within a few hours. I can't remember the last time I walked into the store.

This is a small Target with a small grocery section in it. I can find most things I'm looking for. They also have a little Starbucks inside. And clean bathrooms are always appreciated.

I’ve been trying to call them for 30 minutes and I keep getting hung up on. It’ll ring once or twice then hang up. Then the next call will ring and ring until someone hangs it up

Not a big Target customer….in my mind they were okay. They won me as a customer…they stay stocked and give you varied options when purchasing products. Thanks Tar’get!!! …

I love Target! The employees are always friendly and helpful. And I appreciate Target offering a free curbside service, especially during this pandemic. Keep it up Target!!

This is one of my favorite Targets especially for clearance items and Black Friday. The customer service is always great from the floor to the Starbucks cafe. Truly a gem.

This location goes beyond for their customers, I've been coming to this Target off Bitters and San Pedro for over 12yrs and always had a good experience with the workers.

Clean and stocked well. Front end and electronic department staff is alway friendly and helpful. The sales floor staff is hit or miss when it comes to customer service.

Way too much panhandling going on in the parking lot. Target needs to get it together. I’m not trying to be harassed for money every time I enter and exit the store.

I love this target it's always a great experience here employees are helpful an they have lots of different lines of products that u can't find at Walmart

You get 1 star bad customer service,1, the baby registry is not working and out of paper. How will customers shop for expected mothers. That is not cool.

The slowest online pick up EVER! this goes for all stores but specifically this one because I had to wait 2 hours for them to fill a pair of panty hose.

Easy to pick up when you buy ahead and great customer service. Also I love shopping this store because there is normally a short wait at the checkout.

Quality of apparel/items and good customer service, everyone ask if any assistance is needed, the cleanliness of the store. Overall Great experience!

Great selections of women's clothing and accessories. Store is always clean. Staff extremely helpful. Love this target, always have great sales.

fine shopping experience, but at checkout kayla kept pestering me about getting a red card even though i kept saying no. very annoying.

They have a nice variety and selections to choose from & the store is maintained quite well. And customer service was superb as well.

Great convenience store but nobody there to check out groceries. When you need assistance in electrical department nobody is there.

Its a smaller Target. Sometimes you can't find what you need and parking a bit of a nightmare. But other than that its convenient.

The store is better looking and cleaner than the last Walmart I went to. I noticed that the cashier waited nicely and was polite.

This target is usually not as crowded as some of the others and lines are typically not very long. Parking is usually good too.

I would have picked Extremely Likely 10, but I bought 3 x 12 packs of any soda for $12. I was charged $15 for my 3 x 12 packs.

This is a smaller store and it's almost always quick and easy to shop there. Staff is friendly and store is always clean.

Worse,cell phone to do business, next step for me is write,letter to Attorney General for charges when no phone service.

Best curbside service hands down! Have it to you in less than 2 hours oh, no charge! Beat the competitors and every way.

I like that this store is smaller so I can get out quickly, but sometimes they don't have what a bigger store carries.

Good customer service, usually clean and tidy, like any store it can be hit or miss if they have everything you need.

It's Target! What's not to love? Would be 5 stars if it were closer to my home. I pass two wal marts on the way here.

Great place to shop for just about anything! They have shoes, clothes, toys small kitchen appliances ACS even foods!
