After a year of tepid sales (pun intended) due to high price point, they decided that ice cream novelties would be a better use of the freezer. A smaller price point and a higher profit margin per unit, I think they made a good decision, as our waste was considered high due to people preferring fresh baked pizza rather that from frozen.
I can understand why people would opt out of the pizza at the store. I'd simply place an order for pizza near the Blockbuster store and pick it up on the way home.
