Corn gets stale when it's shucked, so shucking them in the store is basically vandalizing the store's merchandise. And most of the people I see doing it seem to be rejecting ears for no discernable reason. With all the chemicals used to raise corn, I haven't seen a worm or a corn smut in 20 years. Once in a while the end will not be filled out all the way to the tip, but ya know? It's really no big deal, certainly the "risk" of this doesn't justify trashing half the corn in the bin because you think you deserve perfection.
As was just about to mention that..It's like opening all the milk and sniffing each one for freshness..

Exactly. And do the people who blithely do this ever think that NO ONE is going to want to purchase all that corn they tore open? Anymore than they would purchase milk that had been opened?

I think Safeway and KS would be well within thier rights to post a sign forbidding it, but explaining that bad ears can be returned for a no questions asked 25 cent refund.

Quite frankly i'm suprised to see the Tea Baggers siding with people over the grocery store here...It's a first, and it only figures that the first time they do it, they are wrong.
