Corn Checkers(Rant)

First of all---If you are going to disagree or argue with me---move on. Thanks. Only agree-ers are allowed to comment. See? I've been going into krogers for the last month, & straight to the produce section where the ear corn is. I was told(by another customer) that it was all imported from Colorado. But, there are growers around here, too; so I really don't know for sure. Okay--the store has packages of de-husked ear corn, all clean and perfect on Styrofoam trays and wrapped in clear plastic. So, you can see before you buy--your choice. Right next to it, is the ear sweetcorn in the hull, priced 5/$2 Well, after a few days, the store started keeping a plastic trash barrel next to the display, because those annoying jerks were coming in, pulling the husks off corn to inspect it, and then throwing it back in the produce bin. Just like egg-checkers leave opened cartons strewn all over the egg cooler. Those people are gfgfguing slobs! I would like to be a Ferguson-style Cop when I encounter such people. Not really; just kidding. So, far I have purchased MUCH sweet corn this year, from various sources. The only "bad" ear was one in a dozen that I bought in Iowa--yes, Corn Capital Iowa. Just Beautiful Specimens of Corn, from the back of a pickup. But, one of them had a worm in it. But, I just picked the worm off, washed the corn up, and cooked it. That corn was just to good to waste! But a "corn checker"---there's no telling what THEY would've done in a case like that! I cannot figure out why they can justify dehusking the ear corn to inspect it. Please, DON'T disagree with Mee; I'll be VERY upset if you do. Thanks. Oh, I just realized that I should have used the idiom "unmitigated gall" in my little essay, but it is too late now.
