I worked as a pizza delivery guy when I was in college. There was one neighborhood (HUD housing complex) where we would do all we could to avoid accepting delivery orders because of the high crime rate there. If an order got through, a volunteer would be sent with minimal cash. I’m sure we were racists for doing this.

Exact same experience here. It was a wealthy area, that had a large complex that was mostly section 8. Unfortunately, there were a couple of wealthy high rises just beyond that section 8 complex, so we couldn't do the whole "so sorry, you are just outside our delivery area" thing.

We had quite a few robberies, and a couple of drivers got beaten up pretty badly, but nothing truly horrific.

I also worked as a courier for a little while (car, not bike). We would take overflow packages that the big delivery companies couldn't fit into their routes. Surprise, surprise, it seemed that virtually all of the excess deliveries at the end of the day were just off of our own Martin Luther King Blvd. Just coincidence, I am sure.

I quit the day after I had to go into one of the larger apartment buildings after 7:30 on a Friday evening. Not worth 12 dollars an hour. Probably not worth 1200 dollars an hour.

I carried a .25 pistol in my shirt pocket and kept an ax handle in my F-250’s (with Texas plates) rifle rack, (Minneapolis laws) for Pizza delivery.

One night I had to park out in the street some because of the heavily iced up curb when a car came by and did some yelling and then turned around for a second pass, I assumed it was a car load of blacks and stood on the street by the trucks open door with pistol readied and ax handle in hand, to face whatever level of fight it was going to be.

It turned out to be some absolutely clueless chick immersed in feminism that had seen men get aggressive and thought that it was all some kind of play acting, she didn’t know that men do it for real.

I got mugged once doing that job but the joke was on the mugger. Managed to keep my money and hurt him badly. I was lucky he didn’t have a gun or a knife.

I drove a cab at night in Gainesville 40 years ago and readily accepted calls to the black section of town when no others would because of a tremendous number of robberies by black thugs. The company told us we did not have to go there but I had seen a list description of all the robberies of the past couple of years and noticed that all the ones by blacks were done on calls to restaurants and middle class neighborhoods. The robbed drivers were taken to the black neighborhoods after the fares entered the cabs. The calls fromthose neighborhoods were mostly women going to heir nighttime jobs. Buses didn't run in those parts of town at night. I eventually got robbed at knifepoint and left in the trunk of the cab by two newly released white cons. I retired from the profession the next morning.
