Pizza Hut would do this to any driver that defended themselves from a robbery, because drivers are not allowed to be armed according to Pizza Hut policy, and that policy goes all the way back to 1990, when Pizza Hut first started delivering.
Most people carry anyway, of course, because better to be alive to be fired than dead, right?
I used to love to go to Pizza Hut as a kid. I don't think it was actually fancy, but it felt fancy to a kid. They had cool lights over the tables I remember. I don't think where I was they had alcohol. It was more of a place for people like I was, the family with the school age kids to go out but couldn't afford expensive restaurants. We never had pizza delivered. First pizza I remembered delivered I was 15, I was at the house by myself for the weekend, couldn't drive and I had some money so I ordered a pizza.
I don't know what happened to that though. I guess everyone got tired of their kids or it was taboo to expect them to be able to sit at a restaurant for an hour and not be disruptive or something. Or I guess everything had to be a trendy pub. No idea.
Markets change, especially as the entire world got less community/social oriented.
Look at what Doordash and similar did to restaurants and fast food in general. Now most of them are adapting towards a no human contact, almost half delivery customer base and that's likely to continue until the people that eat in are so few that its not worth the floor space to cater to them.
It just happened to pizza specifically earlier because delivery for them became normalized decades earlier.
Pretty standard in the corporate world.

Blows my mind that Pizza Hut only started delivering in 1990.
I've seen the stock photos of the dine-in experience from the 80s. We used to be a proper country.

Same with Uber and DoorDash, despite drivers there ostensibly being independent contractors.
Yea, if I'm using my car, I'm gonna be armed, and fuck Uber and DoorDash if they don't like it.
It should be illegal for companies to infringe on your 2nd amendment rights. Change my mind.
The guy who developed the first practical Kevlar body armor was a pizza delivery driver in the late 1960s. It's been a wild job for a long time.
