1. The main legal issue that all fast food franchises have to deal with is trying to make sure that unions don't organize against them and sue for poor treatment. Other legal issues that fast food industries have to deal with is making sure that everyone is getting payed minimum wage and getting treated fairly. They also have to make sure that all the food they make is safe for consumption or they might get closed down by the FDA.
2.They hired develepment agents to sell their restaurant so subway could make a better profit from their stores. To open up a Subway costs about 100,000 dollars and most of the people who work at the restaurant tend to work 60 to 70 hours a week to make a decent wage. The people that work there are also migrant workers who barely know any english so they can't read what their sighning when decide to open a subway.

Marketing to Children
The fact that fast food industries are targeting and marketing towards children might sound bad but it's actually a smart marketing idea. By marketing to children you not only bring in one customer but that customers parents and siblings. People view this is being a form of bad ethics, but it really isn't because it's not the job of the corporation to keep tabs on what children eat that is the job of the parent's. I believe that advertising in school is a good thing because it is a good form of getting kids to go more often to fast food restaurants and get more employees to come and apply for a job there. So my opinion on marketing and advertising to children is that in the end by doing this not only is the industry getting more people to eat at their restaurants their bringing in more money and helping out the economy by offering jobs to people who might not be able to find work anywhere else.
