I went to the grocery store yesterday and same thing - they had moved a
cold case right up front. Just like Jill wondered, I agree - you would
think they would keep it in the meat department so you walk by more food
that maybe you'll impulse buy.

This is the only time I've ever seen a meat case in front of store. This
must be some new harebrained marketing strategy.
