Most of us would expect that our employers would want us to be able to defend ourselves if our life was in danger.  Apparently Pizza Hut doesn't care.  Recently one of their pizza delivery men in Iowa was held up at gun point.  The driver, however, was legally carrying a concealed weapon and shot his assailant.  What was Pizza Hut's reaction?  They fired him.   Carrying a weapon was against company policy.

They were mighty gracious and gave him two months pay (what is 30 hrs/wk at minimum wage) and offered counseling.

It kind of makes you wonder why someone would want to be a pizza delivery man (or woman) for Pizza Hut.  You get minimum wage, burn miles on your own car and get to choose between defending yourself or getting fired.  Of course, it you get shot, you are on your own.  I am sure that is great for esprit de corps.

Nothing quite like a company policy that makes your employees easy targets.
