This illustrates the Blue Zone problem. Here is a great small business opportunity. I have lived in alleged "high crime inner city areas". Businesses can succeed.
Even worse than residents not having a culture of capitalism mass55th types who have the same lack of faith in capitalism.
How do we get this turned around so we can deal with reality and not the superstitions of both sides?
Let the delivery people carry a weapon of their choosing, and let a couple of these perps be blown away by the delivery person. While I'd like to see that happen, a more realistic solution would be to have the buyers pay over the phone with their credit card and leave the tip the same way. No cash exchanges hands and all the delivery person has to do is get the buyer to sign the ticket for the sale before he leaves the pizza. No credit/debit card, no delivery. You'll just have to get your ass to the pizza store and pick up your own pizza.
