      Well yeah, but he was also an ex marine lol

      Though he did get the idea after successfully defending himself in an armed robbery attempt while delivering pizza.

        Turnover is already high due to shitty work conditions and low pay, but most franchises will also look for reasons to fire so they can keep wages low.

        A few minutes later than the customer wants but still within reasonable time? Oooh sorry they called to complain so we have to give you a strike.

        Customer doesn’t want to pay? Tough shit, you shouldn’t have given them the pizza without getting paid and that’s two strikes.

        You were 30 seconds late according to the managers watch which is 3 minutes fast as proven by everyone’s cellphones and the wall clock? Too bad, fired.

        And I’m not exaggerating. I’m just giving a real-world example.

            Especially that one. Seriously.

            Ultimately I was just done and had already been looking for another job, so I just went ahead and dropped the shit on the floor and spent the rest of the day chilling at the park. I even had witnesses to the insane bullshit.

    Pizza delivery people have to get out of their car in any weather. Cops only have to get out of their car if they feel like it. Also, cops don’t have to buy their own gas.

    And soon to be you will find them employed by the Mafia betting their own whole life upon the success of a 30 minute delivery.

    And don’t touch the Snow Crash.

    Driving a car is why both are dangerous.

    Edit: look up the most dangerous jobs BLS stats, and most common cause of death for almost all jobs is transportation related.

      Other people driving is the dangerous part, hence garbage collection and postal delivery being near the top of the list.

        Indeed. Iirc I contributed heavily to that thread with sources and it’s simply not true almost any way you slice it.

        The closest proximity is using accidental vehicle deaths but it completely discounts the fact delivery drivers mostly deliver in town where speeds are low.

        Unfortunately there’s no good data tracking for gig work yet which would be the nearest parable.

        E: I was not lazy and found my old comment for sauce.

        Police were more likely to be killed by violence than most other positions (which are almost always accident/negligence related), although somewhat ironically their most likely cause of death in 2021 was covid

        Just…WOW. In case anyone was wondering about how fucked the US police are.

        Yeah I’m just exhausted tolerating you cop hating retards. You’re so far gone you’re arguing in bad faith and using literally any bottom of the barrel numbers to say the dumbest bullshit.
