You may have heard that Chick-fil-A doesn’t serve chicken sandwiches with mayo. But if you read the official company literature and the reported news, it can seem like they don’t even have mayo at all. In reality, Chick-fil-A has both mayonnaise and yellow mustard as standard condiments at their restaurants. The only difference is that you can’t ask for a side of mayo as an add-on to your sandwich or salad – and you can’t get it as a dressing on your chicken salad. That said, there are still plenty of ways to get mayo from Chick-fil-A if you really want it. You just have to be creative:
Does Chick-Fil-A Have Mayo?
As I was waiting for my order at a Chick-fil-A restaurant in the late 1990s, I noticed that the employees were wearing white gloves. This was not a common practice in America, especially at fast food restaurants. The manager explained to me that they are sanitizing their hands with a product called “mayo.” He said that he explained this to many customers who were confused when they saw the gloves. The manager was explaining why they wear gloves and not just simply wash their hands with soap.
Why Does Chick-Fil-A Not Serve Mayonnaise?
- Chick-fil-A is a Christian company.
- Chick-fil-A is not a vegetarian restaurant.
- Chick-fil-A believes that the food they serve is healthier without mayonnaise, which is made from eggs (which are not natural to chickens) and artificial ingredients like food coloring and preservatives.
- Chick-fil-A believes that people should eat real food, and that mayonnaise isn’t real food (it’s made from fat).
- The company does not have enough money to buy mayo for their employees when they are short on cash, so it’s cheaper to pay them less money by simply giving them gloves instead of paying for gloves with mayo on them (the gloves cost less than the amount of money they would need to pay the employees if they actually used mayo).
- The manager explained to me that he doesn’t want his employees wearing gloves as a way to encourage customers to wash their hands before eating.
- Chick-fil-A believes that the healthiest thing to do is to eat chicken and other real food, which is healthier than mayonnaise or wearing gloves.
- The manager explained to me that you should wash your hands before eating, and he doesn’t want his employees washing their hands with mayo because it’s not natural for birds (chickens).
- Chick-fil-A believes that people should eat real food and not use mayo because it is processed food made from eggs and artificial ingredients like food coloring and preservatives.
- Chick-fil-A believes that people should eat healthy, natural foods without using mayo because it’s unhealthy for chickens (which are not natural to humans).
How To Get Mayo At Chick-Fil-A?
- If you want the best mayo, ask the cashier to “make it a half sandwich.” This will give you more mayo than you can use.
- Ask for a “half sandwich” at McDonald’s or Burger King and they will give you extra mayo.
- Go to a Chick-fil-A that is closing and order your sandwich “without the bun” (ask for no bun, no pickles, and no sauce). This way they will have to throw away your food and make more mayo!
- Ask them if they can put mayo on your chips without putting it on the side of your fries (have them put it on top of your fries). When their hands are full, they won’t notice if their hand is empty.
- If all else fails, show them that you have money for more than one chicken sandwich by taking out all of the bills from your wallet and putting them in separate piles on the counter.
- When they ask you if you want mayo, say no.
- If you are going to Chick-fil-A, go to the bathroom and wash your hands with their soap, and then put on gloves. This way they will think that your hands are clean.
- Ask them to make your sandwich “without the bun” (ask for no bun, no pickles, and no sauce). They will be too busy making a mayo for customers to notice that you are not eating your sandwich!
- Tell them that you don’t like mayo, but then ask them to put it on anyway because it is so good. They might believe you!
- Tell them that if they don’t put mayo on their sandwich, then in two days a different person will come by and make more mayo for everyone else who wants it!
