As a blind web site designer who has his alt tag reading protion of his screen reading software. I would say their should be both images and a text description. I have come across many fully sighted (20/20 Vision( persons that have difficulty with even the simplest images. I like to provide a link to a page with the image and a full text version. And how about dialup users. Many graphic images can slow a dialup user's access signifcantlly.
But in the case of the Target site, the images on the left-hand side are just images of text, so wouldn't really need a description. And on product pages themselves, the description is already given (although in a horridly inaccessible way, which uses display:none and can't be shown without javascript, among other things)
