shucking corn in stores is just not cool, tbh. Lee Jones from The Chef's Garden hit the nail on the head when he said every part of the corn ear is useful and the husk keeps it fresh. When people shuck corn all over the aisle, it creates a mess and waste we don't need. It's like, carry it home and shuck it there, right? Plus, there’s the safety issue: Weis Markets had to put up signs asking people to shuck outside to keep things tidy for everyone else. It’s a no-brainer, really. Keep the store clean and respectful of the product. The convenience isn't worth the trouble.
