Target shoppers fume ‘what’s the point?’ after being directed to store despite items being put in ‘cheap’ online section

Target has just announced a game-changing move: Bullseye’s Playground is back online, making snagging those irresistible deals easier than ever before.

Previously, enthusiasts of Bullseye’s Playground were limited to what they could find in their local stores, per Apartment Therapy .

But with this reintroduction, over 140 products, each priced at $5 or less, are now available at your fingertips on Target’s website .

The news has sparked joy across social media , with accounts like Target Is Everything celebrating the return of this online shopping option.

Comments flooded in, expressing excitement and relief that this popular section is once again accessible beyond the physical aisles.

However, amidst the jubilation, there’s a catch according to some shoppers.

Despite the online presence, many products still bear the frustrating label that notifies users that they can buy an item in-store only, according to one annoyed Instagram user in a comment on a post from Target Is Everything.

“Except when you go to add it to your cart,” explained the user in their comment, “It says ‘buy in store only’, so what’s the point?!”

“I’m so glad it’s back but everything says out of stock,” another person wrote. “I assume maybe soon it’ll be available for curbside or shipping!”

This discrepancy has left some scratching their heads, questioning the practicality of an online offering if they can’t actually purchase and ship items to their doorstep.

For those eager to indulge in this newly revived shopping experience, the process is straightforward.

Simply visit Target’s website, create or log into your account, and eagerly await the moment items become available for shipping.

Whether you opt for convenient curbside pickup or doorstep delivery, the choice is yours once these coveted items are within reach.

As Target continues to refine its online shopping experience, addressing the disparity between virtual availability and in-store exclusivity will undoubtedly be a key consideration.

Until then, shoppers can revel in the excitement of exploring Bullseye’s Playground from the comfort of their homes, with the hope that soon all items will truly be just a click away.

LOCKED OUT

In other news, a Target shopper is fuming over the decision the retailer made to lock up its milk.

A survey has discovered that some shoppers are choosing to boycott stores due to restrictions hindering convenient access to everyday essentials.

The shopper shared their grievances on X .

“I’m in a Target and they locked up the milk,” they explained. “The fridges are literally padlocked, with an employee help button on them. I’m so done.”

The U.S. Sun reached out to Target for comment regarding its policy of securing milk in locked-up cases.

However, as widely documented, Target’s anti-theft measures, such as securing items, are implemented to combat widespread incidents of shoplifting.

Meanwhile, the retailer has inked a new agreement with a major e-commerce site to expand its offerings, providing shoppers with an even broader selection of products to choose from.

And a third frustrated shopper took to social media to criticize Target for only having one self-checkout machine open, causing significant delays.
