Cookie Dough Ice Cream

Okay, I just have to rant about this. So last week I get a sudden craving for cookie dough ice cream. It's rare for this to happen, but when it does I need to get some.
I live next door to a quickie mart, so I figure this will be easy. They have a cooler with ice cream right inside the front door! Open it up, nothing. They have like 3 flavors of ice cream, none of which are even close. In fact, none of them are remotely good. If you're going to only carry 3 flavors, why these?! Mint chocolate chip, peach, and something from Ben&Jerry's that I'd never heard of before.
But I'm not concerned, it's a quickie mart. What did I expect?! So I go home, grab my keys, and drive over to the little local grocery store in town. Good ole' Winthrop Market will hook me up. They don't have alot of variety, but they've got the basics. There we go, chocolate, vanilla, reverse the curse, mint, chocolate chip, okay where is the cookie dough?! So now I'm standing there with the door open, staring into the cooler like an idiot. Cause I'm convinced it's there and I'm just missing it. So I'm reading them all over and over again, not ready to admit they don't have it. Then I start moving them around. It must just be behind one of the others. So 5 minutes later I finally give up. They don't have it. F'n communists.
But still, no worries. There's a White Hen right next door, and they've always had it in the past. The tubs of ice cream have always been in the 2nd freezer thing on the floor (don't ask why I memorized that). So I walk in and head to where the 2nd freezer should be. And guess what, it's not there! Just some bottled water on the floor instead. So now they only have 1/2 the ice cream they used to, and guess what's no longer there. Son of a f'n bitch.
3 strikes, I'm out. I'm now too angry and frustrated to care about ice cream and just head home and have a few beers to take the edge off. Followed by a few more, cause I felt like it. Then a few more, cause I was already started. And I always like to finish what I've started.
