Boycott Free Pizza Delivery

United States

Recently in one of the leading newspaper, there was an article / advertisement about Pizza delivery Companies which guarantees you free pizza if they fail to deliver within the specified time (like 30 minutes). Have you ever wondered who pays for the free pizzas?? Well, the delivery boy is made to pay for the pizza. They are paid such low wages and the price of the pizza is deducted from their monthly wages which can amount to upto 60% in some months (It becomes difficult to run their family). To deliver the pizzas the delivery boys take high traffic risks as delivery becomes their priority. Their life and safety risks are neither looked into by the Pizza Shop Management nor the Pizza Delivery Boy himself. (They are more concerned to avoid the deduction from their salary). If this type of exploitation is carried on in your city's pizza logistics we should stop availing the home delivery system, because to deliver our pizza one person may be risking his life. Is the life of an human being so cheap and of no value? In case he is late in delivering the pizza, we are enjoying the free pizza at the hard earned money of a poor delivery boy. Is it fair or right on our part to do it? As a human, please think and if you feel that this is wrong, please spread the message and stop having pizzas delivered at home.

I never knew that it came out of the delivery boys wages, I always assumed the pizza place paid for the free pizza. I'm not going to stop having pizzas delivered at home because that won't really solve the problem. If everyone did that there would be less jobs. I will however not try to get a free pizza just because the delivery boy is a little bit late. Thanks for opening my eyes!
