This has to be "Against the Rules"... (a rant)

I was at the grocery store last night picking up a few items. While browsing through the produce section, there was a big table thing full of fresh corn on the cob, still in the husks. They were priced by the pound, not by the ear. Standing at this display, was an woman and her daughter, shucking the corn and placing the cleaned ears in the plastic bags.

Ok, there must be something that's just not right about this. I mean, you don't go in and peel the bananas or oranges before buying them. You don't shell the pecans that are sold in the shell before buying them. Why would anyone think it was ok to shuck the corn before buying it?

To top it all off, there was a trash can right next to the display. Where did they put all of the husks and silk? On the floor between the display and the trash can. It's amazing the gall some people seem to have.

It could be pointed out that these folks were not Caucasian. They were of a nationality that is commonly deemed to be brighter and perhaps harder working than the average American. I guess smarts and class are not always mutually inclusive.
