It has to do with employee safety. It doesn't matter if the inhabitants of a high crime neighborhood are white, black, or green, you couldn't pay me enough money to deliver pizza there. I don't think any job in the world is worth losing your life. The bottom line is yeah its inconvenient for residents of Union Academy to have to drive to the pizza store to pick up an order but let's face, high crime exacts costs on law-abiding people living in such bad neighborhoods that those us who don't have to cope with it don't pay. Instead of crying "racism" over Pizza Hut's delivery policy, the people of Union Academy would better focus their efforts on reducing or/and eliminating the crime that led to the policy in the first place. When they do that maybe they'll see the pizza delivery drivers return. Until that happens they'll used have to get used to the fact Pizza Hut's first priority is keeping its employees safe which speaks well of their corporate commitment to their workers. Besides liberals of all people should be applauding a move that puts human lives ahead of the company bottom line.

I used to deliver pizza PT for a nationally known company. I also carried a gun. I was given the choice of driving unarmed or termination.

I quit.

That's not the case. The article mentions one case in which a company had to pay $250,000 to someone who was beaten up delivering a pizza. That's the real reason employees aren't sent to those neighborhoods.
