> I knew it had to be timing due to store layout.
Even the "store layout" part is nonsense. Really, only vanilla is quick to pick up, and even for chocolate and strawberry (or whatever the next most popular flavors are) you have to take the slow path? Nobody would organize their store like that.
(Also, are dedicated "ice cream stores" a thing in the US? As in, not ice cream parlors that also sell stuff to go, but something you would really call a "store", that is dedicated to ice cream specifically?)
Well remember that this is second hand and paraphrased, so "ice cream store" could just mean "the place where my family goes to pick up ice cream"
And as for the layout - I have definitely seen freezers with a pile of easy-to-access vanilla ice cream in one section then a "miscellaneous" section where chocolate/pecan/whatever are either mixed in a pile or grouped (both require a couple of seconds to pause and search).
The story does seem too perfect, but this part does definitely check out
