Hi,
I was running a delivery today, listening to the local news on the AM radio, and learned about a PJ pizza driver being robbed in one of my neighborhoods on July 5. Perp had a gun, driver had a gun, driver went home, perp went to the hospital. Here in Lexington County SC we are 2 and 0 this year, with drivers going home and perps not. The gangs are going to have to find a new method of initiation.

The question I have is this; Should Papa Johns had called me and others and informed us? Especially me since that particular neighborhood is in the heart of my delivery area. Both times we have had a driver robbed I have called all the other shops in the area and told them every detail I knew about the situation. I would be tickled to death if any of these shops went out of business, but I do not want to see them get robbed and have an employee possibly get hurt or killed.
So, if you get robbed do you let your competitors know exactly what happened so they can be more aware? Or do you say nothing and let them take their chances? I watch / listen to a lot of news, and today is the first I heard of this incident, 2 of my drivers also heard nothing.
