Vonnie Walbert, vice president of human resources at Pizza Hut’s corporate offices in Dallas, said last week that employees are not allowed to carry guns “because we believe that that is the safest for everybody.”

Vonnie is assuming that Pizza Hut employs incompetent people.

Likwidshoe.  That is one reason.  (by the way, you beat me to the quote,

employees are not allowed to carry guns “because we believe that that is the safest for everybody.”

  What a PC quote if I ever heard one.  Safe for who, the robbers?  Does Iowa have the Castle Defense laws like 20 other states?

This is the type of honest citizen who followed the rules and went through the training, got the background check and defended his life with a gun—the same weapon the attempted robber used.

Communism is evil

This happens a lot more than most people know. Very often all you have to do is pull your piece and said criminal scumbag takes off, no police involvement or report.

Here in PA there have been several lawsuits against restaurants for refusing to deliver to high crime neighborhoods. So far the courts have sided with the restaurants, citing safety of the employees above the convenience of customers.

Who needs a gun? Pizza Hut Pizza will kill you quick enough.

At the risk of being Captain Obvious - just what was this guy supposed to do?

I’m sure he delivers pizza to only all the best neighborhood and I just can’t imagine how something like this could possibly happen.

I like the Pizza Hut spokesman’s comment that their employees aren’t allowed to carry guns because “everyone’s safer” that way.

Except for their employees, that is.

Boycott Pizza Hut? No problem. Their Pizza sucks anyway. Now, Papa john’s…..THAT’S a pizza.

The future ain’t what it used to be…..

OK, I took the high road, skipped the gratuitous PizzaHut bashing. But yea. Their pizza is like a shopvac, it sucks and blows.

What Mickey says.  I’ve been boycotting Pizza Hut for years because I’m not exactly keen on filling my arteries in one meal.  Not for that taste, anyways.  :^)

Now if people at my job were being robbed in the building my employer would have to do the minimum to protect employees, yet Pizza Slut announces to the world “our employees WILL carry cash, hot pizza, and when called will come to you.  But they WILL NOT carry guns or protect themselves in any way.  Why are they so concerned about scumbag criminals, yet oblivious to employee safety?

Give him another gun and a medal courtesy of Pizza Hut. Look at all the money he saved them.

Pizza Hut could probably save themselves a decent amount of losses from robbery, etc. if they encouraged their drivers to carry guns.  After all, how many criminals are going to want to take on a potentially armed driver over $20 - $40?

As for boycotting Pizza Hut, I already was both because their pizza sucks and I’m on a diet.  But I’ll be happy to extend the reason for my boycott to this.

The purpose of government shouldn’t be to do good, but simply to refrain from doing evil.

Come on Rob, their meat lovers pizza is awesome in my opinion.  But I do love Papa John’s and being 21 I am not too worried about what I eat.

Companies shouldn’t go to bed with the government because the government has herpes.  You can try your whole life but you’ll never get away from that one night.

The location that the driver was fired from is a franchisee location owned by NPC International. If you felt inclined to comment, both Vonnie Walbert (VP of Human Resources) and Linda Sheedy (VP of Marketing) might like to hear your thoughts on their company’s position requiring employees to submit helplessly to criminals and just pray that they are not killed in the process.
