BRUSHFIRE ALERT: "Screw Pizza Hut"

******************** "Screw Pizza Hut" June 1, 2004

“Ronald B. Honeycutt, 38, who has a permit to carry a concealed weapon, says he's been delivering pizzas for 20 years and has always packed heat on the job,” reports WorldNetDaily.com (http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=38726) today. At around 11 p.m. on May 17th, just after he had made a delivery in a high-crime neighborhood in Indianapolis, a dirtball confronted Honeycutt with a loaded 9 mm handgun. At that point, Honeycutt pulled out his own 9 mm from the back of his pants and fired 15 times, hitting the would-be robber at least 10 times, killing him.

Sounds like pretty good gun “control” to us. And dare we say, an awfully effective “deterrent.”

Anyway, Honeycutt went back to his Pizza Hut store and called the cops. The cops have since determined that Honeycutt acted in self-defense and will not face criminal charges. Nevertheless…

Pizza Hut fired him.

For violating a company policy against carrying firearms.

BRUSHFIRE ALERT: Now, let’s be honest here. Pizza Hut, as a private business, has the right to make such a rule and enforce it.

On the other hand, WE have the right to voice our objections to such a stupid rule and refuse to do business with them unless and until they change it.

And if you’d like to voice YOUR opinion about how Mr. Honeycutt was treated, you can call the Pizza Hut corporate office at 1-972-7700 or give them a “pizza” your mind by emailing them through their website at http://www.pizzahut.com/contact/feedback_other.asp

You can also quickly and easily locate the Pizza Hut franchise store near you - along with their phone number - by going to: http://www.pizzahut.com/locator/.

I just called the store in my neighborhood and spoke with the manager. I explained that my family would no longer be dining in her restaurant and why. The woman’s response was, “You should call the corporate office. That incident in Indiana has nothing to do with us.” To which I responded, “Well, it does now. ‘Cause you just lost a customer over it. Maybe YOU should call the corporate office.”

Something tells me she will...

On the other hand, they should not have a delivery area that includes known dangerous areas.

That would be another lawsuit. They can't win no matter what they do unless that stop delivering.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Absolutely true. But he has no room to gripe about his dismissal.

www.pizzahut.com (which shows up in google) appears to be offline at the moment.

Yeah.. I ment that place, its down the street from Electric Lady Studios.

Guess its not as good as it used to be?

[BradyLS]

I like Papa John's, but Godfather rules over all in my book. I love the sausage and cheese they put on their pizza!

[the irate magistrate]

Thank you C L !

No more Pizza hut for me.

What fools they are.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Sent my email...

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Boycott away. The right to self-defense is at stake here. Don't let pizza trump human rights.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Bad enough they had a 3,000 piece of metal out there, ya want [the drunk or stoned drivers] carrying a gun, too?

Do you want the sober ones to be defenseless on the job?

[CourtneyLeigh]

Tell me about it!?

[rock58seg]

Way too much sugar in their sauce.

Honestly...I don't trust people. I especially don't trust hormone-fueled, 20-something year-old's, packing their daddy's heat because they think they're a bad a$$ mofo.

I delivered pizza for a number of years -- in some scuzzy parts of central and northern California. I know I've delivered to a meth lab on a couple of occasions. I was only accosted once. I wasn't about to fight over a medium pepperoni and a 2 liter of Pepsi -- not when there was four them and only 1 of me. They were peeved that their pizza was an hour late. I gave them the pie and soda for free, they went away merrily, and no harm was done.

There were other times, when drivers had to go to the scary areas late at night somebody would go with them. But if I owned a pizza place, I'd never allow one of my drivers to take a gun with them. No good can come of that.

Rules are there for a reason. This guy broke Pizza Hut's rules, and deserves to be fired for it.
