From back in the day when I used to work there:
Subway restaurants generally use the same mayonnaise in the low fat and regular mayonaise containers. Its a pretty common practice. I worked at several stores training people and most all owners do this because regular mayonnaise has to be scooped out of a jar to refill the containers and the low fat comes in a bag that you cut the corner off of to refill. One owner was this old indian guy said he did it because he thought americans were too fat and he was doing them a favor.
SO ever though the container says Mayo its probably low fat.

I work behind a door where we cant even have our cell phones...needless to say I cant give any details about my job either lol. And if we insert anything into the USB drives, it automatically gets reported to the network security managers. Guess working with nuc's is kind of a big deal...whatevs.

Almost all shops will charge for an hour of labor, even for something that takes 2 minutes to fix.
Don't take your car into a shop on a Fri. or Sat., most techs will rush through a job to get out early.

If you go into a cellphone store to buy and iPhone most times they'll try to flip you you to an android or something else because they get little to no comission on iPhones.

Google is a major data storing house for the US government and sanctioned and controlled by US agencies. They store terrabytes upon terrabytes of every bit of information from emails to texts, from sites visited to purchases, skype conversations to recordings that are all deemed accessible by government under the guise of the patriot act. So, down the road, if you run for office, commit a crime or anything "they" feel needs to be researched, the government will access your information and violate your amendment right to privacy and get away with it.

One secret I've learned from my job is, no matter what you look like on the outside..... everyone looks the same on the inside
