Serious question, does anyone else see new guys trying to lay a full brick in one go without buttering the bed first?

I watched a kid on a site in Springfield last week try to slap a brick down dry and then chase it with mortar, and it's a sure way to get a weak bond and a call back in six months.

Consider the speed and efficiency of that method on a simple garden wall.

My uncle's porch in Dayton failed exactly like that.

Saw that in Boston, it's just asking for trouble.
