From a link in the second link:

Pizza delivery is considered a hazardous job by the US government. They are third most likely to be murdered on the job, right after police officer and taxi driver.

Yeah, but if Dominos made a less crappy pizza, they could reduce the risk significantly.

Wow, that level of interest in pizza is intense. I'd say New Jersey-worthy except I don't think anyone has time to analyze it that deeply in New Jersey.

OR, I can certainly see the issue there. How many jobs make you go to unknown neighborhoods, sight unseen, and be at people's apartments and houses out of sight? And pay minimum wage to do it, so for sure, no one's tracking your whereabouts?

I'm surprised pizza delivery people don't get hurt and robbed more often. They're by definition always carrying cash, and can be dragged out anywhere.

A friend of mine who works as a delivery guy for Domino's in Texas was mugged. He applied for a gun permit almost immediately after.
