These days, if I come across ice cream of practically ANY quality finding it's way into my Escort, I make a beeline home to my freezer...

Yes.
If you the reader don't care that Max just let lots
of better than you'll ever get ice cream
just disappear, I'd say you need to check your
automatic readers setting. Unless you are rich.

Ok, what's the objection here?
("You will want cause and effect") -
is it the scene where horst can't find the flavor he
wants because it was discontinued in 97?
I'm pretty sure you're not demanding much
depiction of the actual schlepping of icecream... are you
saying there's narrative inconsistent with the proper
paper trail for the ice cream? Something like Maxine taking
delivery but not making it back home within reasonable
melting time? Hmmm?
Where? What page?
