Ever since pizza became mainstream in the United States, there have been increased efforts to cook and deliver pizza in the fastest way possible. Most times this includes a driver, which is one of the most common jobs in America, yet many people don’t think about the potential dangers pizza delivery drivers can face!
Because drivers are required to approach the door of those who ordered, it can often be dangerous in sketchy neighborhoods, and sometimes people are even deliberately called to be a target. Delivery drivers have been assaulted, kidnapped, robbed, or even raped or killed on the job and so many carry guns to protect themselves!
In 2004, Pizza Hut decided to fire one of their employees who was being robbed and shot and killed his assailant! The reason they cited was because it had a company policy against employees carrying guns, yet had he not had one he could have been robbed. What do you think about their ruling? Tell us in the comments!
