Jimmy Johns Is Evil. We Mean More Evil.

Nobody's especially surprised to learn that working fast food is, at most places, pretty freaking awful. Low wages, no job security, no benefits, not enough hours, no union, terrible bosses, and all the job satisfaction of working a food assembly line, plus smelling like the fryer when you get home. But at least if you can find a better offer, you can move on, in accord with the best tenets of capitalism.

Unless you work at Jimmy John's sammich shops, where not only do their employees get treated to low wages and the other usual crap of fast-food work, they also are required to sign a non-compete agreement in which they promise not to work at any "competitor" for two years. And what is a competitor? Any business within three miles of any Jimmy John's -- and not just restaurants, but ANY business that makes 10 percent or more of its money from sammiches. As Kitchenette's C.A. Pinkham puts it:





Doktor Zoom's real name is Marty Kelley, and he lives in the wilds of Boise, Idaho. He is not a medical doctor, but does have a real PhD in Rhetoric.

1. I don't understand why people like the sandwiches from Jimmy Johns.

If I want a boring ass, cold chunk of meat on boring ass, white bread, I'll eat my picky 10 year-old daughter's lunch.

2. They're not bad, pretty good, actually. I'll miss them, but I'll find something else.

3. I had one of their sandwiches once, and never returned.

I didn’t like the bread either.

4. He's been known as a slimeball for years.

Of course, everything on social media tends to go in cycles, and the prior articles about him are cycling through again at present. So, he's in the news again.

And, from what I can tell, he hasn't changed a bit.

5. I haven't eaten at a Jimmy Johns in years

Their food is bland and boring. I certainly won't be going to one again. I live in a city of 170,000 people, and looked at the parts of the city that are more than 3 miles from a Jimmy Johns. Only the extreme western edge of town and a small bit in the northeast corner are outside a 3 mile range. What a shitty policy. I hope that the court strikes this appalling thing down.

6. I'd rather eat Subway, and that's saying something.

Loathsome business practices aside, Jimmy John's just isn't any good.
