“A huge shout out to Simon Gilbert in the customer pick up department. I picked up a leather vest that I ordered and tried to get the buttons undone to try it on. No one could do it and Simon patiently came to the rescue. Went above and beyond - thanks Simon!”
“Lots of items to browse from at $1.25 and up. Deals and specials from household, toys, toiletries, garments, cleaning supplies, beverages, snacks, dairy, stationary, etc. Although, this particular store was a bit messy, I can blame it on a recent truck delivery of their supplies.”
“I had a wonderful experience shopping at Target today for my classroom supplies. The cashier was friendly, patient, and very helpful throughout my checkout. I especially appreciated her taking the time to explain where I could find and apply my 20% discount. She was kind, understanding, and made sure I knew what to do instead of rushing me. As a teacher preparing for the school year, her patience and helpful attitude truly made my visit easier and more enjoyable. Thank you for having such caring team members!”
“I shop at Bloomingdales quite a lot. Whether it is shopping at the store or ordering online for a pickup, I always get a great service and rewards. I almost always find what I am searching for and for a competitive price. They make a lot of great deals during the holiday season which is a big plus and their loyalty program is unbeatable. Everything I have purchased from them comes in excellent condition.”
“I had the best experience for shopping fine jewelry from a department store. Bloomingdale’s has a large collection of store brand fine jewelries you may choose from. I find Bloomingdale brand very creative and refreshing. The classic line offers a modern touch in tangible details, which is what I like. The sales lady Cheryl was very patient, attentive, and gave good suggestions and recommendations. She let me look at many pieces that I am curious but not necessarily want to buy. On this note, I recommend you go on a weekday during morning hours so you will surely get full attention without pressure. The department manager George Is fabulous. I saw he took great attention to adjust a watch band for a lady until it was perfect. He is a jewelry master with breadth of knowledge of fine jewelry, vendors and prices. He is a truthful guy who puts customers interest above all. George and Cheryl will go above and beyond to find available discounts for you so you may get a nice piece within your budget. I have shopped in many fine jewelry shops and department stores, my experience in Bloomingdale is the best, in fact, superior to the Tiffany’s! I highly recommend you visit Cheryl and George in Bloomingdale’s!”
“Stopped in this Target location looking for a specific home scent. The store is very clean, and organized despite undergoing renovation or construction. When I got to the department, I could not find the item. Definitely did not want to go to a Walmart. Asked a store employee for assistance. The staff were very helpful, friendly, and helped me find the item. Check out is self checkout which was great. Very impressed with how easy it was to find what you need, pay, and leave, with out any issues. Very pleasant experience.”
