After briefly recovering my shock, I asked about the "Amazon Kindle eReader," noting that it was supposed to be on display at Chez Target "today" (that being Sunday, 6 June AD 2010.)
The employee expressed surprise that is was supposed to be that day, and noted they hadn't received a display as yet, only the Kindles and cases for them. He made a point to look up the price ($259) and repeat it to me a few times. He supposed the display would be "set up by a rep. from Amazon or something."
Well, kudos to that young person for doing his job. He actually initiated a conversation with me, he knew what I was asking about, but also knew he was restricted from bringing it out into the open. (I worked in retail for over 10 years, I was not about to challenge the little authority he had an demand he bring the product out.)

Better than my experience in Maryland. I couldn't find a display. A employee did ask me if I was looking for anything, but she had no clue what a Kindle was (I actually to repeat the word "kindle" a couple of times). She had no idea if it was in stock, but told me that if they got it, it would be with the books.
