. . . or they ordered one copy, and buried it on the rack between their ample supply of Culture: The Word On Cheese (which: way to move up in the world, neighborhood! Whodathunk a few years ago that a Safeway across from Louis' Rogue Bar would need that many copies of America's premiere cheese mag?) and something called Living Without's Gluten Free Holiday Guide (which is the worst magazine title ever -- it makes me imagine a sad girl looking at a plate of stuffing she can't have and crying about how bad things are now that she's living without, and I'm offended on behalf of everyone I know with celiac).Your thoughts? They used to get DOZENS of these in when I was subscribing, but I noticed in November that they only had a handful of issues of November/December, and now. . .just the one. It's the chocolate lovers' issue, people. You need extra copies of that shit.

Maybe the store only ordered the one copy...that would ensure less magazines to return to the vendor.
Next time I see you, I have a story to tell re: Louis Rogue and a Neighborhood Committee meeting. Oh, and to finally hand over that long-expired Lite Baconnaise.
The Today Show did a piece on the "first girlfriend" (ugh) this morning. Please to enjoy: http://today.msnbc.msn.com/
Down most of the page to Entertainment (Hah!) & Books.
fk: aw, RIP Baconnaise.
Anon: I saw that at the gym yesterday morning, and nearly fell off the elliptical machine.
I know from talking to people who load magazines at grocery stores that often they only put out one or two copies of something less popular so that's my guess.
