Recently in The Times of India 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 Indian
citizen 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 the so called FREE pizzas delivered at
home.

I would like to differ with you in this regard. The thing you are saying, may have been happening in past. As far as I know, these days, the Pizza boys are not punished for late delivery. In fact some big pizza Companies like Domino's give a printed message over the payment bill that they dont punish the Pizza boys for late deliveries.
So I think we can take a sigh of relief!
It feels good to see people think about others..!
