We used to get really nice sweet corn from a truck by the side of the road, but haven't seen them for a couple of years. Otherwise it's too expensive in the grocery stores, it generally runs about $6 for five ears or so. Guess I'll have to plant some.
I think we had a thread on this before, and maybe someone even posted a picture, but some stores provide bins for people to shuck the corn in the stores!
There is absolutely nothing better than sweet corn on the cob during the summer. I remember it best from going out and picking it from my grandparents garden!
So OP you are ok with putting back the ears of corn you tested by popping a kernal with your fingernail for others to buy? To me that is rude and gross. Corn is so cheap that's maybe why Safeway shoppers don't care.

HEB does here and corn is starting to get nice and cheap.
Sometimes I fold a leaf back just a bit at the very end. If I see corn and not rot I'm good. I'm not concerned about getting a bad one or two when they're 6 or 8 ears for a buck.
Locally, most stores will remove most of the husks and wrap the ears in packages of five to prevent a lot of the mess that some people cause. You set a good look at the corn without the produce section becoming a mess.
I guess city slickers call it "shucking" and farmers call it " husking"
Both are acceptable.
Local usage. Western PA is shucking for sweet corn and husking for field corn. MD is peeling for sweet corn.
