I was appalled to find today at the local Target store in the Kingsbridge section of the Bronx, that when I wanted to buy the floor model (the last one in the store) of two different pieces of furniture - nice solid wood, glass, dovetail joints, reasonable price, that the store manager was adamant that Target has a policy 1) not to sell such furniture, 2) to destroy this furniture before disposing of it. Something to do with liability?? Can we start a campaign to get them to change this? The manager said something illogical like, what would happen if the customer brought the piece back? We have Materials for the Arts, Furnish a Future, and numerous thrift stores that would probably love to have all this furniture. Who knows what, besides furniture, that this crazy policy applies to. Multiply this by all the Target stores in the country and you see how much is being wasted.
