Shucking Corn At The Store
Posted by: VWXJN ()

So what is it about all the idiots that shuck corn at the grocery stores?

Seems like one of the behaviors that one person does it and everyone else thinks they should follow along. Farm animal type of behavior.

Why do stores encourage this and put out trash cans?

Shucking corn causes it to dry out quickly you cannot cook the corn unshucked if you choose to grill or cook it in the husk.

Seems like an idiotic thing to do with your time while blocking the isles in the store and looking like a fool.

I can shuck corn at home on my schedule and not disrupt the entire store and I do not make a mess in my kitchen.

Because corn is sold by weight and cheap asses don't want to pay for the weight of the husk.

I don't understand what causes people to reject an ear. I haven't seen one that didn't look just fine that was partially denuded. Do they have supervision that can't penetrate green leafy husks?

Some ears of corn can have some portion that's withered or rotten. I suppose shucking in the store helps folks avoid the bad ones.

Because the asshole shuckers block the aisle and access to the corn.

It is also a stupid process that seems to only happen in NOVA in stores. I never see this happening at the Farmers Market, Produce stands or outside of NOVA.

Just another stupid thing flunky NOVA shoppers do because they see some else doing it.

We do it to piss you off because you're obviously a loser who gets rolled up about inane bullshit. Now wait your turn and stay the fuck away from the corn until I'm done shucking.

There was this woman in the store where I shop. She had her 1 year oldish son up on the produce/corn bin changing his diaper.

After she finished, she threw the soiled diaper in the can for corn husks, and continued to paw through the ears.

This started with Wegmans AFAICT.

Some of us never keep corn overnight at home, because it just gets that much starchier (not that you can get super-fresh corn here most of the time anyway). I shuck it at the store because it's convenient, avoids some hassle/mess at home, plus I can see if it's a 'bad' ear (missing rows, wormholes, etc.). I always pick a kernel off of an ear or two and taste it; often it's so starchy that I don't even buy corn.

Yes, shucking it means you cannot cook it unshucked. That's sort of axiomatic; not sure why you'd list it as a reason not to shuck it! Obviously if you want to cook it that way, don't shuck it. Sheesh.

I'm sorry you feel that people get in your way. That's life; deal with it. Or move to Iowa, where you can pick your own.

Two reasons....

1) You can inspect the corn before you take it home. There's plenty of them that are shitty once you get a look at the tip. Just the tip.

2) Why the fuck would I want to shuck it at home when I can do it at the store? The corn doesn't degrade shortly after being shucked. Saves time and mess.

If you really couldn't figure out and understand those two on your own.. you probably should stay out of the corn game bro. It's not for you chump.

I always wondered this. I usually pull down one thick bunch of the covering to check the corn, then bag it and do it at home, on the floor, on newspaper. This is a messy job, your hands are a mess, and then you want to keep shopping? I would need to leave my cart and go wash my hands.

If someone is in the way, just wedge your body in there and push them aside. Asians do it all the time because that's the custom in zip land.

That's the only way the NOVA self important bitches will get the message that the world doesn't just stand the fuck around waiting for them to get the fuck out of the way.

I seriously believe that the greedy fucks that go into Costco, just for the free trials of food that they're never going to buy, would leave their children in a hot car while doing it.

Although this area seems to have a wide variety of people from all over the world, it seems as though we must get the mentally deficient ones! Everyone around here acts this way. Everyone is the most important person in the world. Everyone must be right, be first, be immediately satisfied.

EVERYONE, go fuck yourselves!

I was going into Target the other day. 3 Latino women with 2 smaller kids walked in ahead of me. They had a basket they were pushing. These fools stopped right as they enter the stop with the basket and all 5 of them huddling around.

One woman decided it was just the right place and time to pick up the smaller child and try to put them in the basket, all the while blocking the ENTIRE entrance to the store.

I do not think these rocket scientists understood or thought they were the most important people in the world, I think just like SO MANY people here in NOVA, they are so self absorbed in what they are doing, they have NO IDEA there are other people around them and they do not think about what they do and how they act and how it affects other people around them.

No different than the Asians that want the one parking spot in the front row nearest the store entrance. They see someone loading kids and an entire basket of goods into the car and they wait and hold up an entire line of traffic while waiting for the person to exit the one parking space.

I roll into ANY and ALL store parking lots and park as far away from the entrance and all the idiot drives as I can. I do not have to drive around and search for a parking space, wait for someone to exit a spot and I can quickly and easily exit the parking lot and not get stuck in a traffic jam of people circling and waiting for parking places or people walking their cart down the middle of the driving lanes.

Some mexican was blocking an entire aisle the other day with his cart. Parked it right in the middle. I pulled up and looked at him for about 5 seconds and he literally moved the cart about an inch forward and went back to what he was doing. I pushed his cart and him about 3 feet as I went right through where he was standing.

Never said a word.

This is nigger and third world behavior that has been adopted by sheeplike white people. Because shucking corn at home creates such a big mess.

Just put an ear of corn in your microwave, in the husk, 2 0r 3 minutes. Perfect corn every time.

Yep. But if you want to grill it OUT of the husks, then, doh, you need to shuck it first. So it depends on what you want to do with it. Since you don't want to shuck it at the store, just grab it and GTFO.

In my years on Wegman patrol, I have watched many housewives, clad in yoga pants, shucking corn.
It didn't take long for me to realize the connection between a particular corn shucking technique and a mind blowing pole sucking technique. The best pole suckers are the wildest corn shuckers. Everyone of them took my behemoth cock to its maximum penetration, front and back.

People weren’t buying corn because they didn’t know what to do with it. The store came up with a promotional idea which made shucking corn a carnival-type event for fcps grads and foreigners. It’s a carnival event.

It's actually faster at the self-checkout and that way I don't have to stand by while some asshole takes his sweet time at the scale in the produce department. Fuck you.

Why such a retard bro? The only question I asked was in the post immediately before yours: "And only one self-checkout, right?" Got no answer because it was RHETORICAL BRO because I was pointing out the retardation of another poster.
