Why Target is my favorite store...
Because when I took back a vaccuum that didn't work -- without a receipt -- they merely asked me to show the card I'd used to pay for it, looked up my date of purchase, sent me to the vaccuum department for a replacement, and exchanged it for a new one, no further questions asked.
The customer service guy even smiled and made little jokes during the transaction. During the holiday shopping season, no less!
This makes me happy. Also? My carpets. Unvaccuumed pet hair makes them sad.

Just wait about three weeks. That guy behind the service counter won't be smiling and joking then! :)
I love Target! And also dislike pet hair on every flat surface of our home. However, even with a working vacuum, that seems to be the case around here tonight!
My hardwood floors are VERY unhappy...they're covered in unvacuumed pet hair *sigh*
Why do I have 5 cats and a large dog?
Target does rock, no doubt.
I agree. It's about the only store I shop. If Target doesn't have it, I don't need it! :-)
Yeah, Tar-shay!
My hardwood floor disowned me years ago!
I *heart* Target!
MMmm, Target. Now I gotta go there . . .
(I like Dave2's motto.)
My carpets are very sad. Pet hair and all.
Shawkey: Y'know, I get the feeling that this kid is on the "A" list. I'd bet he WILL still be joking. He was completely unflappable -- awesome!
"Q": Um, because without the large dog, the cats would have no common enemy?
Dave2: Ex-aaaaaaaaactly. You're a shrewd mammoth. (Yes, I know I've seen far too much Ice Age...)
HTGT: I KNOW, huh?!
TysGirl: That's not what I heard about your hard wood...
Susie: I love me some Target! And Dave is usually right on the money where mottos are concerned. :)
William: Tell them to buck up, already. It's the holidays, fer goshsakes!
Target is great. Ang would live there if they would let her. Me? Not so much;)
I bought a Dyson for my wife for our last anniversary. Might have been the best gift ever. That thing is a monster at getting rid of pet hair.
Shel: Heck, if they had beds at our Target, I'd live there too.
Limpy: Will you marry me?
ECLECTIC!!! I can't believe you said that. I assure you, I have no idea what you're insinuating!
Pffft, I didn't even have to wait for an anniversary to get my Dyson.
It's the happiest place on earth!
I like to read stories of good customer service like that, especially during the holidays!
As someone who is owned by a pug, yes, I completely understand about the hairy floors.
Dirty floor = sad floor
Clean floor = happy floor
I love Target. It's WAY better than Wal-Mart. Way. Better.
We don't have Target's here in Canada(that I know of), so when we drove by a SuperTarget(is it the same thing?) in Florida, I had to go in and check it out. I LOVED IT. Made me wish we had them here :)
I love TarZhay. Sadly, as a Canadian, we're not allowed them.
So, no Tarzhay and on my Island, no CostCo. NOW who thinks I live in paradise?
TysGirl: What, you thought I could only be tasteless at YOUR site? HA! I can be tasteless ANYWHERE!
Kalki: I KNOW, huh? Yay Target!! Dave2's so right: if they don't sell it, I don't need it.
Mo/Dis: He owns you, true... but really, you own the vet bills, so you got that goin' for you. ;)
CK: See? I agree with that. You SO need to be President!!!!! ;)
Dawn: Same thing. You SO need them there. You should send a letter to your senator.
Nilbo: No Costco? No Target?? What, you live in Lower Slobovia?? Maybe Barbarica?
Yeah, I get owned...twice. :P
How's dat for a bargain? Whoot!
Uh, did the vac stop working before or after it attacked the pet hairs on the carpets?
Oh, the joy of civilization.
Waaaaaah! We Canadians neeeeeed Target!
I missed this post. That is wonderful customer service. I need to use Target more. They just built one closer to my town.
Wow, that's impressive. Although it is early in the season like snarky said.
Yeah, I love Target (obviously pronounced Tar-jay...with a soft "j").
(picks up his handbag and map to the nearest Target store)
I don't even HAVE hardwood floors but I'm still going to Target, by jiminy. Maybe they have Dickensian Christmas village I want.
Mo/Dis: I love me a bah-ginn!
Nick: Good point.... hmmmm. ;) Nah, it really DID just click and stop working.
MW: It IS nice when it's civilized, isn't it?! Too bad "civilization"... isn't always, eh?
Kranki: There, there dahling... you can come visit me. We'll go to Target as much as you want!
Squirl: Closer? As in, NOT THERE YET??? Gah! What are you, in Canada or something? ;)
Rising Rainbow: Welcome! Yeah, I know it's early yet, and the returns AFTER Christmas will tell the whole story; but I have faith in this store. I really do.
Jessica: I'm telling you, I may as well just have my paycheck auto-deposited there... it would be more efficient than giving it to me and then just having me spend it there anyway.
Jim: Get thee hence to an Target store!!
With your new vacuum, are your carpets still sad? It would be understandable if they were, what with that hot tub still simmering away, and all.
Just stopped by to have a drink with ya:)
I don't know if it's that they actually care about their customers or if the staff generally try and do as little work possible while avoiding all forms of confrontation, but yes, returns at Target are eerily easy.
