A non-compete for $8/hr wait staff?  I don't think so.

These terms do seem designed to turn away all except the most desperately unemployable or illiterate.
I saw an interview with a waitress they fired (she got fired on air during Gordon's show) and she said she signed their earlier contract without even reading it because she thought that's "what you're just supposed to do."

... and now her old employers are following her around with injunctions to enforce the non-compete clause ...  ;)

That was hilarious.  They quite literally fired her for no reason at all.  She was given an instruction, she asked for clarification, and then she was fired for 'having an attitude'.

Yeah, they'd almost definitely be unenforceable.  What I've read from AZ lawyers on the issue is that there's no bright-line test; judges have to way how reasonable or unreasonable the non-compete is, and AZ judges would almost never enforce a non-compete that completely locks out an entire sector of work.
Experience bij!

Which is exactly what most people do when they sign contracts.

To be fair she was a kid, probably still in school.

Supposedly it was the "way she asked"... but yeah.

She may have signed it, but she also ignored it. She had a couple of threads on Reddit. She was already working at another restaurant at the same time as she was working at Amy's Bakery, so when she got fired, she wasn't too concerned. She was new to Scotsdale, and had no idea what was "normal" for that area.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...
