this is a pretty standard practice in all business
just like in the Oil and Gas industry if someone cuts their thumb in Brazil, the entire company has to shut down for a Safety Stand Down meeting and everyone has to wear cut resistant gloves anytime they walk outside
because of a few idiots, the rest have to pay
its all about liability
Valid point.

So you're saying it's short sighted and reactionary( I believe how you described it). It would be interesting to see how profitable that Franklin location is where the guy worked and how much revenue it draws in from the lower 9th. If it's not drawing in much business from the lower 9th, there's not much of a reason after this tragedy to keep delivering there. Certainly not worth the risk.

The world isn't ideal and they are making a decision they have essentially been forced to make.

What do these areas have in common, besides being predominantly black?

Life isn't fair. Tell the community to get their shite together.

I think that food deserts are probably contributing to the current obesity epidemic in the country. I mean they're so fattening (and not in a good way.)

No, the main business decision was to no longer deliver to an area because of crime. The racial makeup is immaterial to the main cause of the decision. If this was a black owned Domino's, I would bet my last dime that the business would still rather to stop delivering to a place that can result in violence to its workers than risk it.
There are freak things, and then there isanecdotal evidence, of which, I am sure Lower 9 provided enough of to justify the non-delivery.

Maybe I could be wrong. Maybe several drivers have had problems in that area
Hollygrove not holly grove get it right play boi

Instead of focusing on the business not going into a community, how about focusing on making a community safe for businesses?

How can you not see/understand the REALITY of the situation ? You can't cajole,bully,threaten or otherwise force people/companies to do "business" in areas so crime ridden, one would risk his/her own well-being, by doing so !
The root of the problem {in this specific area and case}, IS black criminality....whether you like it or not, dosen't change the FACTS.
Now, how to address the existence/reality of black criminality is the real question.Why the majority of black citizens and their "leaders" continue to play the race card at EVERY turn, rather than address the core issue of responsibility, is what baffles the majority of this nation !

Dominos, Papa John's and Pizza Hut will not deliver to a certain part of Mid-City following the last Domino's delivery driver that was killed in a bad section of Mid-City. I have a friend that lives over there.
It's the second Domino's delivery driver that has gotten killed in less than 6 months in NOLA. They had to do something.

To be fair, many communities do have orgs that address the exact things you discuss. They are heavily underfunded, and undercut by a myriad of environmental and economic factors, like gangs, welfare dependency, and a mistrust of government. Those leaders never get to see the screen, but Al and Jesse do.

Fair enough. Maybe the fiscal #s back support them backing out of there as well.

Bruh I am usually on your side, but the 9th ward has no reason to be upset by this. There is a group of people who live there that have no regard for anybody's life. They pride themselves for having a quote that states...
"I'm from that 9 and I don't mind dyin"
If they don't mind dying you think they give a damn bout some pizza delivery guy?

I'm trying to be creative - what if they had an armored car type truck on a route - take the payment via credit card, roll the armored car down Claiborne, turn around at Rowley or Norton, then back up Judge Perez - make stops like a bus - give each customer a unique order number - they come up to the truck, give the order number, slide that pizza out through a slot and everybody wins, right?

Dominos is limiting services based on the crime rate in that particular neighborhood.

(Just responding generally, not to one person, too lazy to look back)
Couldn't it be an insurance issue? Growing up we lived about 10 miles from the one pizza place that delivered at the time and they wouldn't deliver over parish lines and blamed insurance. Maybe they were blowing smoke up our arse but we would have to drive to the gas station that was right over the line to meet the delivery driver.
