When a stupid fucking cafe chain claims it's a sandwich.

"Panera has a clause in its lease that prevents the White City Shopping Center in Shrewsbury from renting to another sandwich shop. Panera tried to invoke that clause to stop the opening of an Qdoba Mexican Grill.

But Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Locke cited Webster's Dictionary as well as testimony from a chef and a former high-ranking federal agriculture official in ruling that Qdoba's burritos and other offerings are not sandwiches.

The difference, the judge ruled, comes down to two slices of bread versus one tortilla."

Man what stupid fucks. Guess you can't blame them for trying, but now Qdoba has all the exposure it'll need to take a good chunk of business away from Panera. Talk about backfiring.

Really.....? The place is called "White City Shopping Center."
Thats funnier than the story.
It has to be a trip to drive by that sign.
I mean I've called places and certain sides of town, Redneckville, Taylortucky, Crackertown, White Heights, and all kinds of shit. But I had no idea there was a place called "White City".
Thats too funny.
