The Woes Of Pizza Deliverymen...
*Back to regular musings in the New Year*
While driving on the road, I have had the opportunity to witness one too many pizza delivery riders running red lights, weaving between traffic and committing various other traffic offences all with the intention to make haste in their delivery.
The motivation is simple. If they fail to deliver on time, they are required to compensate the customer with a discount voucher or something along those lines. If they continue to make late deliveries on a continuous basis, they will also be in danger of losing their jobs.
I completely understand the rationale behind the pizza company compensating their customers on later than normal delivery. However, considering the distance that the pizza delivery rider is covering, perhaps a longer allocation for delivery time should be allowed so as to avoid potential road accidents?

In true typical Malaysian style, if you give them a longer delivery time, they'll slack and go out last minute, thus running red lights etc anyways.
