We told our customers...NO SHUCKING until they left the store. Very
few ever did although a few would take a small strip off to check for
ripeness. You have to watch people in a store, they can be damned
right piggy at times. Same with mandarin oranges, I don't know how
many peelings we found tossed behind or on top of the display case. A
garbage can for shuckers?...never, that just encourages people to be
slobs.
