Darn it. I'll confess that I saw that one coming.
We had a robbery attempt once...our driver successfully fought off of the robber, kept her money and the pizza...
...and got fired for resisting...

Yeah, you and.....well.....ummm.....
Well, I guess you're really the only state left that doesn't allow it's citizens to carry. D.C. is that way too if it makes you feel any better.

Once they started an investigation, the writing was right there. On the wall. It may seem arbitrary and unfair to terminate someone for getting robbed, but, even though I think it was too harsh, I understand it. Carrying large sums of money makes all drivers a target. Our pizza boxes clearly state that 'our drivers carry less than $20 in cash.' I think a written couseling would have sufficed in this case, though. Maybe if he'd been warned by management a number of times to drop his cash after every run. Too bad.
And I bet she sleeps just fine each and every night. I like to think I would do the exact same thing in her case, given the opportunity to fight off a would be robber.

Generally speaking, a person who attempts to rob the pizza guy KNOWS that they aren't going to get a lot of cash...whatever the amount of food or dollars involved, it's not worth the potential injury to my person.
(I handed the guy the pizza, thanked him for calling my employer at the time, turned around a got my self back to my pick up truck quickly.)

Really? I feel very differently. It's been many years and miles ago, but when I was robbed (at knifepoint, not gun point) I didn't resist a bit.

Pistol-packing pizza delivery man chases off attempted robber | Wichita Eagle
A pistol-packing pizza delivery man chased off an attempted robber, who was also armed, Wichita police said Thursday.
Miguel A. Waide, 32, was delivering a Domino’s pizza shortly before 10 p.m. Wednesday at an apartment complex in the 6600 block of East Harry. Waide became suspicious he was being set up when no one answered the door, Lt. Doug Nolte said.
Waide returned to his car and retrieved a pistol from his trunk, just as a man approximately 20 years old came up and said he was going to rob Waide. As Waide turned around with the gun in his hand, the other man fled. Waide fired two shots at the man but missed, Nolte said.
Nolte said Waide didn’t break any laws.
“You have to look at the circumstances,” Nolte said. “He was being robbed and was protecting himself. In the state of Kansas, that’s not a crime.”
Police are still looking for the suspect. The public is asked to report any information by calling Crime Stoppers at 267-2111.
