If it looks like a whole buncha folks in "flyover country" are gonna stop buying their products, they change... Because they'd have to close a LOT of stores. And they can't live a New York lifestyle on just their New York profits.

Now, it's quiz time. Someone tell me what you should do when you see a store in a national chain posting. Anyone. I'll buy you a cold (or hot) beverage if I ever run into you.
 
Call them up and place a large order for carry-out. Ask if they've changed their weapons policy so you can come inside and get the food. When they say no, cancel the order.

No... that won't cost 'em a thing.

Call 'em up and place a large carry out order.

Show up to get it. Notice the no guns sign. Knock on door and ask to see manager. Explain why you can't come in to pay for the order. Leave.

That'll cost 'em something.
 
Is there even threat of a lawsuit on PH? I mean it's not like they arm their employees. They don't even issue the permits, the state does that. If a lawsuit were to fall at their feet, couldn't they just point to the law which allows CCW, which then would go to the permit holder himself?

I don't believe their is a difference between citizen and employee. You don't adhere to new laws once you punch in for the day. Yes, there can be safety restrictions that are reasonable, but come on, PH's policies cannot override state law, especially in these circumstances.

Never mind, just my stupid opinion anyway...
 
If the driver wasn't hurt, I don't think a lawsuit would hold up. He agreed to Pizza Hut's policies when he VOLUNTARILY decided to work there. Now, if the driver were to actually be injured during a robbery, maybe a lawsuit would "stick". Don't know myself. If Pizza Hut really covers their ass, there's probably also a clause in in their policies that states they are not responsible for any injury, yada, yada incurred during delivery. Has anyone successfully sued a pizza company when they were injured in an auto accident while delivering? I see it as how a lot of shooting ranges make you sign that you will not hold them accountable for injury, negligence, etc. I do wonder if an injured driver can go after them for workman's comp or something.

Now several folks will post and say that this isn't the High Road.

Wrong. It is HIGHLY effective, and it's a darn sight more "High Road" than the "cold dead fingers" approach.

They are selling something. If you order, and then are not allowed into the store, hey, it is NOT your fault. Make sure that when you show up to pick it up that you do NOT look like a lowlife. Not saying "suit and tie," but think "business casual."

Oh, and you don't want nasty surprises either - what do you do with your "large order" if you show up and they've already taken the sign down? Just buy dinner, and then take the family somewhere else. Send the pizza joint a copy of the receipt. "Dear Sir/Ma'am, I'm sorry I can't buy pizza for your store, but until you remove the no-concealed-carry signs, I'm having to go somewhere else. I really miss the quality of your product, but when you give preference to criminals over people who can pass all the background checks to get a firearms license, I just don't feel safe in the area of your store. Sincerely, Joe Gunguy"



Their marketing folks assume that for everyone who complains, there are 6-10 folks who just go on... And it COSTS to gain a customer, and they lose that money when they lose you.

Be even more sneaky. Ask about the no firearms policy AFTER placing that nice juicy large and expensive order on the phone. If they say they aren't allowed, then the policy is still in effect whether there's a sign or not. Say, "OK, I was just wondering",THEN explain why you're not going to pay for it when you get there. They could still "get" you by offering to carry it out to your car and bring your change back, though, and you might be stuck then. What would your response be if they told you to go back and leave it in the car? Also, I've seen Pizza Huts with drive-through window pick up. :uhoh:

I wonder if there's any legal issue to this, however. They could easily get your license plate number and if/when the cops showed up, I could see them forcing you to pay for it or get charged with "theft of services" or something.
 
True story.

I had a friend who went to college in Boston (since graduated). He was picking up a pizza one day when a thief held him up at gunpoint. The thief opened the box of pizza in front of my friend, said, "Ugh, pepperoni!" and ran away without the pizza.

Friggin wierd.
 
Why don't some one sue pizza hut for denying 2amd rights.If you want to operate a buissness in the US then the 2amd should superceed all others, if you don't like it move to Mexico.........:mad:
 
They're not denying his 2nd amendment rights. They're denying continued employment after the fact and after the employee VOLUNTARILY agreed to those terms. There's nothing in my company policy nor did I sign anything, but if I bad mouth my employer using my 1st amendment rights, I'd promptly expect to get fired. Their company, their rules. Right or wrong, it is what it is.

You don't have a right to be employed at Pizza Hut. You have a right to bear arms, but they have a right to fire you. The 2nd amendment only prevents the government from infringing on your rights. Pizza Hut is not the government.
 
I know it's been said already, but Pizza Hut ain't the only company with this policy. Not by a long shot. Almost anyone who works for someone else (at least a business of substantial size, that's probably not individually owned) has these same rules.

Lawyers make them do it. It's hard to dump on one company when a lot of others have the same rule for their employees.
 
For those who sit on their fancy board room chairs, in their offices, in the safety and comfort of their office, nothing is to hard for those who must do their jobs in the heat and danger of the world!
 
Well he is still alive and can still do what he needs and is not identified by RIP. I personally do not eat Pizza Hut Pizza because I have gotten sick from them 3 different times.
