When I went back to my Target to see if the tikis were marked down, I saw a single moai in the bunch. The clerk couldn't tell me the price. It's textured resin and is gray.
I'm dying for my Target to mark them down! They are still full price.

I had my eye on the big 5' bamboo fountain at Target, but it wasn't getting marked down even though all the other summer stuff was. I kept going back to check on them (a pain since the closest Target is in the next state) and all of a sudden half of them (the unopened ones in boxes) were gone! I asked an employee (definitely NOT a manager) if he could tell me when it might get marked down and he scanned it and said he couldn't tell and that it might be awhile. Then he asked me if I was interested in buying one and I said "Yes," and he said, "well I can take 30 % off if you'd like it." !!

So I packed one in my cart and then realized that it would have to go in the back of my truck and would get all chipped and banged up. Then he said there were a bunch that were in boxes out back and I could have one of them instead of the floor model. SOOOOO...... what I learned is that #1. employees must be authorized to give a discount and #2. they may have what you're looking for packed away somewhere "out back."
