    I never had a late run, but I drove very dangerously sometimes to ensure that never happened.

    Snowcrash intensifies

    The driver had to pay for it

    Is that even legal? Not that it matters since nobody enforces laws against corporations or politicians…

      Probably not legal, but who was going to fight it? The teenage pizza drivers?

      They’re all franchises, could have just been my shitty owner, but somehow I doubt it was just the one bad apple.

        It were the people involved in accidents with a teenage driver trying to beat the 30 minute time in unsafe ways. They sued and won.

        Only after the pizza joints all dropped “30 minutes or less” did the large pizza companies add those advertising signs to their delivery driver’s cars. This to me is a tacit acknowledgement by the pizza companies that they knew their drivers were driving dangerously before they dropped that policy.

      Snowcrash was my first thought too! Love being in the sort of community where people have heard of it!
