Apparently, the city's new minimum wage, raised to $10.24 as of Jan. 1, make $5 footlongs an impossible business model.
No, but it might make it impossible for them to maintain their profit margin.
So is a business is just supposed to watch their bottom line shrink because of a city's/state's laws and do nothing about it?

So it would seem.
Apparently "profits" are evil. That entrepreneur that purchased a Subway franchise, invested their hard-earned money to secure a space, spent more money (personal savings or loans) on equipment and furnishings (which also have maintenance costs), waded through the local, state and federal regulatory hurdles respecting food preparation, handling, sanitation, procurement and storage, not to mention employee and customer safety requirements, etc., etc., etc., go through the torture of interviewing, hiring and training employees, handle the administrative duties of running a business (payroll, purchasing, overhead - each with their own regulatory requirements), is just supposed to be willing to put up with all that out of the goodness of their heart. Screw making enough profit to make all that work worthwhile.
Honestly, it's a small miracle some leftists can even chew food.

I'm afraid I don't see the connection between the preceding post and this one. Nor do I recall saying this.
Anyway, to answer this question, context is required. In what context is this business supposed to or not supposed to be doing anything?

Registered and voting. I voted for Bob Barr (the LP candidate) in 2008.
You still think it matters who you vote for? That's so cute.
It doesn't matter who he votes for Feral...at least Tex is exercisizing his right to vote. Everyone should get out and do thier part to vote if they don't then they have no right to whine about the government.
Voter apathy is detrimentral to both our countries.
It's a growing problem.

Awww, did that bother you?
I was making a point that I didn't vote GOP. I guess that didn't please. But I don't give a shit what a leftist thinks anyways.
Nothing bothers me. And I'm assuming you meant please me. But implying I'm leftist does amuse me, considering I was libertarian throughout most of my 20's, including a Cato Benefactor.
