"Pizza Driver Delivers Bullet To The Face Of Armed Robber, May Lose Job For Defending Her Life"

If this pizza delivery gal loses her job for protecting her life in order to satisfy a corporate policy that - had she followed it - would have cost her her life, I think Papa Johns deserves to go on our black list. What's more important? A corporation minimizing litigation, or human life?

We’ve had at least two incidents in the Pittsburgh area of pizza delivery drivers being killed or seriously wounded by robbers. One guy crawled to a nearby postal processing facility at 2 AM leaving a trail of blood.

They’ve been on my black list for awhile now anyway.

‘Corporate food’ tends to suck, especially with pizza!

Papa Johns should rethink.

My guess is that if this delivery person goes down, the pappa john dweeb and his lacky-manning get muy pay back. Just something to think about pizza boyz!

All pizza delivery drivers should be armed since they are targets for criminals. Assuming she gets fired according to policy, the franchise owner should immediately rehire her.

When it comes down to being murdered by a couple scumbag maggots over a few bucks and a pizza or losing the pizza delivery job for capping the bass turds, I’ll go with the latter.

A friend of mine’s son delivered pizza and was being followed by a couple of guys. He wrote on a piece of paper a description of both men and the license of the vehicle and stuck it under the seat before he was shot to death. Too bad he didn’t have a gun. The police were able to catch the guys though.

I like Papa John's pizza, but if they fire this woman for defending herself, probably saving her life, I'm done with them.

Their wimp-a$$ company doesn't deserve my money.

A couple of store bought frozens are just as good.

I’d file a class-action lawsuit to overturn the corporate policy.

I shouldn’t be asked to choose between doing my job and protecting my life.

The pizza delivery industry cares more about avoiding litigation than protecting its employees.

That’s simply unacceptable.

I would still like to see an “after” mugshot.

Any ideas where one might be?

These companies should hire their drivers as independent contractors instead of being an employee, that should solve that problem.

There will be alot of companies more than willing to hire her and give her a job that pays a lot more than being a pizza driver.

She did exactly what all people in similar situations should do. Carry. It’s a win-win. If you never need the weapon, no one knows the difference. If you use the weapon, you get fired. That’s the risk and it’s worth taking as you may save your own life.

She’ll be fine and working at a better job very soon after she’s terminated, if that happens.
