I think I’ll order a Papa Johns pizza tonight (that I can get it 50% off is irrelevant, of course...)

New Papa John’s ad: “Our pizza is so coveted that it must be delivered by armed guards.”

A similar situation happened around here many moons ago. They fired the driver, hired him back after the uproar, then fired him about a month or two later after the publicity died down.
Be interesting to see if the driver is still employed in two months.

'She had no other choice. She must have been in fear for her life and she reacted,' Capt. Stephen Fore, of the Dekalb County Police Department, told WSB-TV. More like; "She made the right choice!"

” investigators say the pizza delivery may have been a set up”
You can’t get nothin’ past these cops.
To: dennisw
Well they kind of stand by her, after their website was probably crashed by people supporting her they decided it would be a good thing PR wise to not fire her and move her to no delivery position. Let's wait and see how things shake out longer term whether they gently direct her to the door. And of course they reaffirm their position that employees have no right to defend themselves.

Good chance she’s taken a pay cut too, given that she’s no longer receiving tips.

You don’t even want to think about going near Columbia Drive unarmed. I think that’s where she was delivering. OMG!

The reason they have this corporate policy is easy to explain. Could you imagine the law suite if a company employee shot a person in anger while working?
It is better to have a corporate policy that denies employees their second amendment rights than to leave it to the ambulance chasing scum bag lawyers.

Understanding the policy is different than pointing out that their decision to keep her on was more likely a effort to control bad publicity rather than any genuine concern for the employee. Having managed quick service for twenty five years I dare say I have a thorough understanding of the liabilities involved.

Exactly, it didn’t change any corporate ‘thinking’ on the matter. They were worried about appearance not worker safety. If they could have she would be fired right now.
