Well, color me stupid, but I always figured the trash cans were there
mainly so people didn't have to get cornsilk and husks all over their
kitchens. I mean, I'm gonna yank down a wad of husk to check the
quality of the kernels whether they have a trash can there or not.

The only places hereabouts (SoCal) that the grocers seem to do that is
Henry's Marketplace and Gelson's.
