Shane Curcuru reports that Arlington is in the grips of an ice-cream shortage:
... The local Stop & Shop on Mass Av in Arlington has one of its two frozen food aisles unplugged and emptied. No ice cream nor frozen novelties were in evidence throughout the store. ... Stop and Shop also has planned for this contingency, and lists four other stores within a 5 mile radius of zip 02476; note however that time of day and traffic conditions may require you to plan for extra time and bring your own cooler and icepacks to ensure the proper temperature conditions of your purchases. ...

Syntax doesn't keep very well when thawed.
I have the beginnings of a story about the graphic design staff who did the signage at S&S as well, but it hasn't chilled enough yet to publish it. (I suppose I shouldn't wait too long, lest I get frozen out.)
{thinks to self: there, that'll leave 'em out in the cold.}
Guess my post was like MacArthur Park

Melting in the dark and all ...
"Graphic design staff" as in the people who gave us the melted Kellogg's Corn Flakes logo they use now?
No surprise...

That's the only grocery store I've ever been to that regularly runs out of things like parsley.
The bigger surprise is that they didn't make this change over while the whole store was closed for renovation for three weeks earlier this summer.
It is worth noting that Johnnie's Foodmaster is less than half a mile east on Mass Ave, and has ice cream.
