Pizza hut is a cold and cynical company that would put its fear of lawsuits ahead of the safety of its employees. Pizza deliveryboys are barred the means to defend themselves adequetly and as such have one of the highest on the job homicide rates of any job, period. In your corporate training material you tell the employees to co-operate with the robber, give him the pizza and money. However, in many cases the pizza hut employee gives his or her life, over twenty five dollars!

This article highlights the case of one of your employees, who saw the danger of the job and lawfully, but against pizza hut policy, carried a firearm to protect himself. When threatened at the point of a gun he reacted and neutralized the threat. And for potentially saving his own life and violating corporate policy you FIRE him? If your employees are defenseless and are mercilessly beaten for 25 dollars will you pay for their pain and suffering? If not, DO NOT PROHIBIT THEM FROM LAWFULLY CARRYING PERSONAL DEFENSE EQUIPMENT.
Until you change your policy, I and everyone I know who cares about the welfare of your employees will be boycotting you. Meanwhile we'll be purchasing pizza from Berkeley Pizza Collective, which by the way makes much better pizza than you all, until your short-sighted policy is changed OR you put an armed guard in every delivery car that goes to bad neighborhoods. Your choice.
