Agreed. I haven't seen a chest freezer in a supermarket in years except
for small ones the drag out occasionally for small amounts of expensive
ice cream. I saw one Friday with pints of both red bean and green tea
ice creams. Didn't buy either but I was tempted.

Many of our local King Soopers/City Market (both Kroger) are remodeling
and adding yet another aisle or more of upright freezers with more
ethnic-type frozen convenience foods.
