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.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

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.

[–] Gingerlegs@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Yea, which is why it’s in court I believe. It’s escalated to this point.

[–] snooggums@midwest.social 2 points 6 months ago

But not fuck Subway?

[–] Lmaydev@programming.dev 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Could be food safety, taxes, production rules or any number of things.

[–] snooggums@midwest.social 4 points 6 months ago

The article does not mention any sandwich specific laws, just contract stuff about what kind of restaurant can be in a strip mall.
