When They’re Not The Brightest Corn On The Cob
We sell roasted corn on the cob at festivals and other events. We are set up in a small college town for a community food truck festival at the beginning of May. The school is in Pennsylvania. Tuition at this school is very expensive, and it is known for its liberal arts curriculum.
I group of young people approached us to purchase corn, and a member of the group asks:
Customer: “Is this locally-sourced corn?”
I smile, while my soul is slowly dying
Me: “The corn is from Southern Florida.”
Customer: “If you will not support local farmers, then I will not support you.”
I feel so bad for whoever is paying $80,000 a year for tuition for a child who does not know that crops do not grow year-round in the Northeastern section of the United States.
