But why do they even have laws about sandwiches in the first place?
Read the article. It's a zoning issue.
I'm sorry sir, this is a sandwich only zone. You and your parfait need to leave immediately.
we're just loading the parfait i swear
Something existing does not answer the question about WHY it exists.
I’m not sure if this particular article explained, but I live here. He signed an agreement that stated that “any food business allowed would be a ‘subway’ style food business”
That’s the issue
Edit: I’m a huge fan of this taco place, just stating what’s going on. I hate subway.
That isn't a law or zoning then, just some contract dispute.
Yea, which is why it’s in court I believe. It’s escalated to this point.

They are trying to exclude traditional fast food like McD's,Wendy's, etc.
WHY
Cuz fuck mcds you dense prick
But not fuck Subway?
K
Could be food safety, taxes, production rules or any number of things.
The article does not mention any sandwich specific laws, just contract stuff about what kind of restaurant can be in a strip mall.
