Interesting that Pizza Hut gets targeted so much:

I heard that interview yesterday, an interesting perspective hearing from someone who lived through an encounter where he really feared for his life.
It was really chance that he even had the weapon with him while he was robbed.

Kind of sounded to me like Pizza Hut felt guilty about fireing him. Not too many companies will give a severance pay to a low level employee like a delivery driver.

I consider it "hush money" paid out by Pizza Hut.

If it had been hush money, it would have come with a confidentiality agreement and you wouldn't have heard him on the radio.

Pretty common for the clerk, delivery man, etc. to get fired for violating the company policy against being armed. But you can always find another job...
