I never had to deal with a long wait for a pick up order. When I left my house at noon I put I was on my way. Pulled up at around 1210. Left around 1245. Come on seriously? I had enough patience waiting that long and tried to give them the benefit of it being busy. The girl working was just walking around. She got my confirmation number even before giving me my order. Her and another guy walked up twice and still didn't have my order. She walked out of the store finally and didn't even have my entire order. There was no reason for someone to drive up and get their order right away while I still waited. And yes not that many of you working but you are not working and the other guy is helping everyone else. Every spot was full when I came and nobody was leaving because you all are slow. You don't do what you get paid for. If you don't want to do your job correctly then grow up and go find a new job. Horrible service and this target is so sketchy. It's my last resort when I absolutely need something.

Update: Very disappointed with shelves being empty here. Literally saw 1 set of Christmas ornaments left and it looked like trash. Saw plenty of food items (perishable) wrongly placed in non-food areas. This location seems understaffed or maybe employees just don't care. Parking lot is still awful and the stop sign placements don't make sense. Always a solicitor outside the doors. Overall avoid this awful location

I shop at this target all the time. They have a good selection of products and the store is usually pretty clean. The staff is generally pretty nice. I ordered a drive up order tonight because I was tight on time and I was blown away at the efficiency of Kevin and Vanessa. I pulled up and my order was already in their basket waiting for me. Bonus: they both were kind and super helpful loading the order into the car.

Don't go with your wife. You'll be there for hours. I feel they created an atmosphere for them on purpose.

Alfonso at the Auto Parkway, Escondido, CA location was super helpful setting me up with a new phone. He provided me with excellent service and is very knowledgeable about everything in the electronics department. Alfonso helped me get a new phone and transfer over all of the information from my old phone to it. I am very happy with the level of expertise he has as well as his professional helpful attitude to everyone that he was helping. Thank you, Alfonso A.!!Electronics Dept1280 Auto Park Way, Escondido, CA 92029

Such a bummer from Ashley over at the service desk. I know Target is paying y'all minimum wage, but Ashley looked so miserable and apathetic. All I wanted was to exchange some canisters for my soda stream and purchase a few small items. She made no attempt to be friendly. Maybe she was irritated that I had more than one canister to exchange. Or maybe she was having a bad day? She looked super inconvenienced, couldn't even try to smile or be friendly at all. Even still, how hard is it to scan a few items and try a little bit? Target, do you need to pay your workers more or something? Or maybe Ashley needs to find a job that she likes. Either way, super disappointing. She went back to scrolling on her phone as I bagged my own items. Customer service has gone down the drain. As a loyal customer of Target, I can honestly say I've never had this bad of service at a Target, ever.

We've been coming here for years. But the last maybe year and half, they are always out of stock on a lot of things we need. And when we go to any other Target, they practically have full shelves and everything we are looking for. So I'm not sure what's going on with this store, but I'm tired of always coming and seeing all these empty shelves!!Also their on hands are very off too. A lot of my mobile orders for pick up end up being canceled due to items no longer in stock. Next time I end up going back, I can take a whole bunch more photos. And I know that no store is perfect... But I mean come on... Once their in stock is better, I don't mind changing my review.

Kent in home furnishings was so helpful and a pleasure to speak with. He was full of energy ready to help with a kind smile. Resourceful, making calls, looked everywhere for what I needed. Really appreciated Kent today. Thanks so much.

Escondido's first Target (the other one is in the mall), and it's busy from open to close. This store is one of the locations that has it all; Starbucks, food court, clothing, household goods and appliances, toys, sporting goods, seasonal, automotive, electronics, crafts (cloth, yarn, etc), hygiene, pharmacy, and a well stocked grocery section (complete with produce, frozen, dry goods, dairy, snacks, and alcohol). It's a one stop shop. They do a pretty good job at checkout. They have two large rows of self checkout with one or two employees on hand for those pesky errors. They also have a well staffed customer service desk. The traditional check outs seem to always be staffed very well too. For the volume of customers at this location, the store is surprisingly clean. There are always staff around to help and they appear to do a good job keeping the place stocked. My wife loves doing the "car pick-up" option. Sometimes I get the honor of taking her phone with me to conduct the actual pick-up of our order. The whole process is very easy; park, select here on the app, enter parking spot number, and they are usually at the car in 5 minutes or less (usually less). The staff are always very nice and place everything in the trunk for us.The parking lot can get crazy as there are a lot of stores in this shopping area people also frequent. Pro Tip: Avoid the main entrance by Chik-fil-a. Enter and exit via Auto Parkway down by the Starbucks.

Customer service suck's they're nice to you when asking about a product that they show they have on hand but not on the floor then disappear into the back never to be seen again. When you try to get someone else to help don't make eye contact or they will avoid until you pin them down.

They did a remodel a while back , often stocked well. However. The parking lot is the absolute worst! There are always far too many people inside, families just hanging out, blocking everything. Thought I would try drive up instead because I would be in the area. Placed order at 10am, got text 1.5 hours later that order was ready, apparently missed the part that said "part"... "part of your order is ready". Get there at 3pm ( 5 HOURS AFTER ORDER WAS PLACED!) ONE item is ready! Didn't get a notice the full order was ready until 5pm! 7 HOURS after initial order was placed. Never again.

This place is so unbelievably messy and trashed that it's ridiculous. I worked at another target and I always avoid coming into this target specifically unless i absolutely have to. You straight up have to dig through piles of clothes in order to find something you want and all clothing is just everywhere to the point where you almost can't tell what clothing section it is. Baby clothes are in mens and mens are in kids etc. I wanted to come in today and find a pair of workout shorts and there was just a pile of clothing and I will not dig through it to find some shorts. It's so messy in this target it's crazy and makes me not want to shop here besides getting food.

What a dump. This is hands down the worst Target I've ever been to. Understaffed. Poorly stocked. Rude employees. This store is falling apart. The website claimed to have something in stock and when I arrived they told me they didn't have it in the back or on the shelf. They said it could be "hiding" or stolen. What a joke! Please shut this store down immediately and fix your website!!!!!!!

I went to this target on the way to sam Diego today. I ate some burgers and fries beforehand and boy did I have to p**** I'm talkin big ol chocolate chunks. Creamy and loud. You know the kind. So im in there and man, the toilet paper was so thin I must've stuck a finger in there three times! I expect this kind of inadequacy at Walmart, but not targét my dudes. Overall, the experience was tough to say the least. I was lettin em hang free and now every time I feel the denim tickle on my "soul patch" I'm reminded of a much darker time. 10/10 would not recommend.
