Remember the guy a few months ago here in Philadelphia? He had been trying to get on with the pizza place to do deliveries for some time? Got robbed and killed over in N. Philadelphia...
I did delivery for a short time and didn't mind it, except for the fact that my car was a piece of shit. There were two shady apartment complexes in the area where several of our employees had been previously robbed. We quit delivering there...all was well.
This sort of thing is becoming more common, although it has started problems in Washington, DC. For example, Domino's will deliver to what they consider "bad" neighborhoods. You have to meet the driver at their car though. These "bad" neighborhoods tend to lean towards a particular skin color, which is what started it. (This was not the issue where I was delivering.)
I always worried about getting robbed, but didn't. We never carried more than $15 in change. I always kept my eyes open, particularly in apartment complexes, making sure I knew all the ways out and things like that.
