    This brings back a memory of earlier depravity.

    As a teen, I worked at a local sub sandwich joint. It wasn’t uncommon to get requests for mayonnaise and these sandwiches got a bit on the top bun. Requests for extra mayo got a smear on the top and bottom buns. A rare few customers insisted on extra extra extra mayonnaise. Ludicrous volumes of mayo. I always asked them if they were sure, informing them it was going to be a lot, probably too much. Informed consent and all. I made something special for these misguided souls: the mayo trough.

    They’d get the standard extra mayo smear on the bottom bun, but the top bun was where the magic happened. I’d press a concavity into the inside of the bun, completely fill it in with mayonnaise (a foot long sandwich took about 1/3 cup), then gently nestle it atop the fillings. When they’d bite into their sandwich, they were rewarded for their foolishness by it spurting mayonnaise and other condiments everywhere, like a culinary Peter North unloading into a roast beef sandwich.

    We didn’t get a lot of repeat requests.

      Where I work now, we have a regular customer who is like that but with oil and vinegar. We have a single bottle that the oil and vinegar go in, which we shake before squirting it on the sandwich because, you know, the two famously don’t like to mix. There’s a very fine tip on it of course, and normally a sandwich gets a few passes back and forth for coverage.

      It took a little while to find where the line for enough was with the customer, but eventually I worked out that just unscrewing the cap, which leaves about a finger sized opening, and dumping that across the sandwich top and bottom, with a little overrun on the sides, finally stopped the requests for more. I still give him an extra side cup just in case. That dude just loves him a soggy, oily and vinegar-y mess of a sub.

      I worked at a deli for years, and I would lather both sides of the bread with mayo and then give them mayo packets. I hate mayonnaise and never even wanted to guess where the “too much” line is crossed

    This is how I order my Subway sandwiches. Gotta eat them over the wrapper, so you can lick all the mayo that escaped afterwards.

      At Mc Donald’s that’s where you dip your fries.

      Who am I kidding. If I got that at Subway I’d dip potato chips in it lol.

    Never ask theater staff for “just a couple squirts of butter” the moment they approach the pump autopilot takes over, you WILL get thoroughly buttered popcorn. I tried so many times before giving up and just taking it without.

      never had buttered popcorn, I don’t even know if that’s an option anywhere near here, but it’s always good to know that the options are either none or all

          Picked up an Oroville redenbacher air popper from Goodwill for $5, basically brand new, manual and everything (not that there’s much to know). We’ve been going crazy with it. Highly recommend.

          I grew up with one, but have never owned my own. Always used microwave popcorn. But with the chemical concerns in that, this feels healthier 🤷‍♂️
