That is fucking unbelievable - it's basically contractual extortion. Though the 3 mile clause makes it an entirely different beast than a tech noncompete. Which makes me wonder - are noncompetes ever enforced internationally? Or rather, are there countries that explicitly and reciprocally enforce US noncompetes?

Not being allowed to work within 3 miles of a Jimmy Johns can rule out working in fast food in an entire city.

For an illustration of this, take a look at the Jimmy John's noncompete map, which maps out everything that's within 3 miles of a Jimmy John's: http://sigacts.com/jimmy-johns-non-compete-zones/ .

Wow, I live in Massachusetts and have never seen a Jimmy John's around here, but apparently there is one... and a 3 mile radius covers the entirety of metropolitan Boston, and some of the hot spots in neighboring Cambridge and Somerville. I think that's everywhere I've ever worked as a software engineer.

Looks like that map is out of date, too - they've expanded in Boston. https://www.jimmyjohns.com/find-a-jjs/#/02142

Not sure. The geographic ones are crazy though... my sister in law (who is a PA) was initially told that she couldn't practice in a 16 county region.
Fortunately, PAs are in enough demand that she was able to get it modified to a 20 mile radius and scoped to a particular aspect of the practice.
