An American woman revealed her shock after stepping foot into an Australian Target store for the first time.

RaeAnna, from the US, was visiting her partner in Melbourne when the duo decided to take a trip to Target.

Not knowing what to expect, RaeAnna thought she would walk into a department store that resembled something from back home: sprawling aisles, endless makeup, clothes, food, and an in-house coffee shop.

But the reality was far from the truth.

RaeAnna posted a video of herself walking around a 'sad' store that seemed barren in comparison.

Some Target stores in America have Starbucks locations - a fact that shocked many Aussies

'Australian Target is like Walmart but worse,' she said, making a reference to a discount American store.

'It's ugly, it's so bad,' she said as she couldn't stop laughing.

Many Australians who have visited America claimed the store was a combination of Kmart, Chemist Warehouse, Dan Murphy's, Sephora, Coles, and a café. 

Some tried to suggest Aussie Kmarts were similar to American Targets - but they were quickly shut down.

'US Targets have so much more than just a Kmart,' one said. 'You have so many options for everything.'

'You can get your ears pierced and get a facial at my local Target,' another revealed. 'It also has an optometrist.' 

'Wow, Australian Target is severely lacking,' an American wrote.

While some Australians and New Zealanders shared their opinions and experiences. 

'I wish we had that, I feel like having three stores in one is so much more convenient that going to multiple places,' one said.

'All the options seem amazing - at least you know everyone's house won't look the same,' another added. 

'The shelves on both my closest Kmart and Target stores are always half-empty,' a rural Aussie wrote.

'Target is a furniture shop in New Zealand,' a man wrote.
