I pity the poor workers who are forced to try to find work of some kind in this economy that they would get stuck doing this type of work. Dangerous as hell for what? $6.00 - $7.00 an hour. Welcome to our All American City
I'd never deliver to that ghetto.
HEY, DELIVERY DRIVERS,,,,,,
If the lights aren't on, KEEP ON TRUCKING!!!!!
anonymous 12:05 please DO NOT call my neighborhood a ghetto just because some hoodlums come into the neighborhood to rob people. Your neighborhood could be the next robbery site so don't be so closed minded!
But can you imagine the backlash if one business dare refuse to deliver to a certain area of the city at night? That'd definitely be considered racist or prejudiced or discriminatory in nature.
When I was a driver I always had a phone number to where I delivered and called it if it was in a bad neighborhood.
They just need to stop delivering to certain areas,PERIOD.Sorry if that inconveniences people who intend to pay for their food but facts are facts.Truitt and Clay Streets are right off of Church and the crime statistics for that area are just too high to justify endangering someones life for a darn pizza or sub.
Why don't the Police Officers simply pose as delivery drivers at night. Problem solved.
I work at a place where we deliver and we refuse to deliver to "bad" neighborhoods at night. Some customers don't like it and we just tell them sorry. Most people realize their $20.00 is not worth someones life.
Pizza delivery will be a thing of the past soon !!! What is the going on in this sixk town , Police can't handle it, call in the big boys !!
But if they don't deliver to those areas, they are "racist". Go figure.
well there were two other armed robberies on the 11th you failed to mention. having police pose as a delivery driver would be a waste of man power.
Make all customers that order delivery pay by credit card. No cash=no robbery
12:05 you are obviously an idiot. You are stupid to think we only make 6 or 7 dollars an hour. We make a lot of money from tips and also get x amount for every order delivered , not to mention a paycheck.
