Readers,
As you may well know, Chris loves his Potbelly sandwiches. Or he used to. Lately, he's been getting lunch elsewhere because they can't seem to get right his desired portion of mayonnaise. Oftentimes, his sandwich [the Wreck on white, for those taking notes] is too dry, lacking in the condiment. When he asks for extra, it's returned to him swimming in the stuff. You're probably thinking, Why doesn't he just ask for light mayo or mayo on the side? These are questions I too have asked. But Chris, in his admirable humility and magnanimity, refuses to engage in any sort of conflict, and yes, interfacing with Potbelly personnel about mayonnaise distribution qualifies as conflict. I overlook his defeatist attitude in this particular situation because no one likes to look like a fussypants. And so, he has chosen to go without his Potbelly, patronizing Cosi instead, or simply grabbing a hot dog and chips from Amy the Vendor. Until this week. Today, CW received the sort of news for which it exists. Take a look at this e-mail:

Phew! Congratulations, Chris!! And congratulations, reader, for it is your unending support that gives Chris that extra bit of moxie when he needs it most. When you have legions of fans at your back, asking for a little extra mayo ain't no thang. In honor of Chris's breakthrough, I implore you all to ask for a little extra mayo on your next sandwich. [We're just thankful he's moved on from Miracle Whip!]

I, too, have trouble when ordering subs and sandwiches. As a fellow fan of mayonnaise, I often struggle with the amount on my sandwiches. I find the best thing to ask for is "mayonnaise just on one side." That way, it's on there, but not swimming in it.
