Here in DC delivery drivers won't even go to the door, they honk their horn and you go out to their car and get it. I don't mind. It's a crap job then some people are forced to take. Better them then me.
I worked delivery for a local business a few years ago part-time. the money wasn't too bad for a night or two a week. I have considered going back but I won't do it again unless Maryland becomes a "Shall Issue" state. I know of too many delivery people that I worked with personally have been beaten up and robbed. I'm not willing to take that chance unless I can even the odds a little.
crap job... in college I made over 20$ an hour running pizzas...
contact the police...we have criminals commuting here from the Va Eastern Shore because there is not anything but migrant workers there to steal from..
then again...why should we demand anything from the gov't?..they only care about their own careers..benefit packages, and pensions
the Police are afraid of the gangs..that own our streets..
we need a curfew..and less 9-5
cops that think they are bureaucrats
come on man, whats more important? your safety or my pizza?
Theres an emerging gang culture on ESVA and they ARE migrating north to commit crimes....
Arm all delivery drivers with a can of wasp spray. If they can't shoot them with bullets, blind them with wasp spray. Then run like the dickens..
If i was the shop owner i would refuse to deliver in most areas of salisbury after dark. If they want a pizza that bad they would come and get it in thew store. Not worth the risk. Salisbury SUCKS anymore.
