Domino's to all criminals: "Our drivers are unarmed! Do whatever you want!"

"That's probably an experience he didn't want to confront anymore," McIntyre said.

Yeah, he probably didn't see any reason to risk his life for Domino's lawyers anymore.

“McIntyre added that police had told the company, “There are too many cases in which a person’s own weapon has been used against them.””

And his source for this claim would be.....?

Domino's figures its liability is lower if their employee is murdered. I would never work for a company whose policy took away my lawful right of self-defense.

I’d say that I’d boycott Dominos... but their pizza is so bad I won’t order it anyway.

Actually, come to think of it...

We could call Domino’s HQ and explain to them that since they have just announced that all their drivers are unarmed, we do not want their unarmed crime targets bringing criminals to our houses.

What a buddy. His friend is shot and killed but he didn’t drop the pizzas while running away.

He lost his pizza delivery job. A small price to pay for one’s life.

"We completely expect to be criticized," he added.
Well at least they got one thing right.

in MD a sick inmate visited a hospital managed to
take guns from two officers and escape, killing
an innocent bystander in the process.

The response from MD officials. We dont need guns
in hospitals.

AHHH

"The best way to save yourself from harm is to get the situation over as quickly and efficiently as possible," he said.

Yeah, that "best way" sure worked out well for the students at Virginia Tech.

Don't defend yourself, just give the bad guy what he wants: all your stuff and your life too. That's the best way.

*sigh* So many who don't deserve to live in the USA.

This has always been Domino’s policy, of course I violated it wholesale when I was a driver for them.

Every few years a driver here gets shot and killed, by some punk thug wanna be.

Dominos can say all they want about turning over your money being the safest action... but those execs and liability attorneys and insurance policy writers aren’t the ones on the street dealing with the meth or crack addict coming after them.

He did not get fired for defending himself, as a matter of fact he didn’t even get fired, he quit.

He signed an agreement when he took the job, I believe he knew full well that he would be carrying a gun and I don’t blame him for that in that kind of job. When he had to use it he knew he broke the agreement and quit the job.

Domino’s policy is stupid but I bet most pizza places and food deliverers have the same policy. I worked for the same employer for more than 30 years and had I ever been caught with a gun on their premises I would have been fired.

I guess I won’t order from them any more. I want my pizza delivered by a guy in a pickup truck with a gun rack in the rear window.

I’ve refused to buy Domino’s Pizzas for several years for just this reason...

Legally can they enforce this. They don’t own the cars. Do the drivers buy the pizzas from Domino’s or are they on the clock? Yeah, they can require you not bring a gun into their store but I’m not sure about your car.

This has been Domino’s policy for a long time, I had a friend back in college that worked for them and carried a gun regardless of the policy. Like he said, Well if I get fired for defending myself, I’ll just trot down the street a block to the next minimum wage pizza joint...

Really? When? Too many times these unsubstantiated claims are made without challenge.
