Fast food non compete clauses

[KingsGambit]

Clarification - are you talking about non-competes for the food industry specifically, or in general.


I'm certainly familiar with the latter, never heard of the former.

McDonalds and Jimmy Johns have at least for awhile.

Here's my concern: The non-compete agreement is somebody signing an agreement that they will not do it. Even if it's not enforceable, as Christians, do we want to encourage people to break contracts?

Should people obey an unjust contract? Apparently many of these people don't even know they signed such a thing.

I suspect it's like checking "I agree" on a UELA - nobody actually reads those things, but you can't use the software or the service if you don't agree.

And checking "I agree" to a EULA is like saying "I do" at a wedding.

Or signing up at a discussion board.
