Title: No Subway $5 Footlongs In SF, 'Cost of Doing Business' Too High

Subway can't make sandwiches for $5 anymore. Not in San Francisco.

The catchy Subway sandwich shop jingle involving a variety of foot-long sandwiches available for $5 doesn't apply in San Francisco.

The sandwich-making chain stopped selling the five-dollar footlongs in San Francisco due to the "high cost of doing business," according to SF Weekly.

Signs posted at Subway sandwich shops sadly inform San Francisco patrons -- we hear Willie Brown is a big fan -- that "all SUBWAY Restaurants in SF County DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN Subway National $5.00 Promotions," according to the newspaper.

It has  to do with the $10.24 minimum wage in San Fagsisco.

Would you really want to advertize anything with the words "foot long" in
San FagSisco?
