Pizza delivery - trumps all other rules

[DrPizza]

For the other pizza delivery guys, and for those of you who order pizza,
Did you ever notice (or maybe it doesn't happen where you are) that if someone's delivering a pizza, all other rules get trumped?

speed limits : usually allowed to be exceded a little more by the local police
"employees only beyond this point" (yeah, right... not if I have a pizza!)

etc.

I've delivered to a lot of businesses and industry types of places where any rules and signs are completely ignored to get the pizza. I've been given directions to a certain area in a company that caused me to pass by signs that say "hair nets and eye protection required beyond this point" and other such signs. Anyone else have similar experiences? Or, do the rest of you just ignore the rules to get your pizzas? I'm convinced that I could just about walk into a high security clean room without anyone stopping me, as long as I'm carrying a pizza bag.

i delivered to a boat engine factory once.
i went to the security guard office in the parking lot, he told me to wait for someone to come get it.
so in my experience, no.

Pizza is far more important than street saftey, Corporate security, and even National Security.

As a pizza-delivery guy you, of all people, should have your priorities straight.

Pizza is second on my list of all time favorite things. It is only second to another thing I like to eat that also begins with a P and rhymes with Lucy.

I know that the speed limit thing isn't true. My roomate is a pizza delivery driver. He got a nice fat ticket for going 60 in a 45 i believe. Boss was pissed too.

Shhhh...you're giving terrorists ideas...shhhh!!! Don't let the Bush administration get wind of this or we will have a Home Pizza Act demanding all Pizza delivery men and women are given a full body cavity search before starting their shifts

Not on day shift! Graveyard.... Maybe!

I can hear the cleanroom police screaming now, if an empty Pizza box were found in a clean room garbage bin! It would not be pretty and I would not want to have pizza on my breath when the discovery was made!

Well, I've been delivering for two years and never got pulled over, and I speed everywhere. If the person in front of me isn't going at least a few miles over the limit, I pass their ass. I go 10 miles over everywhere except school zones, and 20+ late at night. Gone by plenty of cops while speeding and none of them even given me a second look.

I guess that 50% discount for all law enforement personell really helps out

If you were a donut delivery driver, they'd probably give you an escort.

I've definitely noticed it. The only two I remember right offhand are when the manager at Kinko's had me put the pizza on the desk in the office and when a cook at a bar ordered pizza and the bartender just had me walk right back to the kitchen. I know there were others, I just can't remember any of them right now.

As for speed limits, yes, I've been able to exceed them when I had my car topper on, although I never really went that much faster than the limit, anyway. The drivers that raced around all day didn't make any more money than I did so I just kept it close to the limit.

That's not true for my friend back in high school. He had to quit his job because of too many speeding tickets.

I've delivered to a lot of businesses and industry types of places where any rules and signs are completely ignored to get the pizza.

As for hairnets, that's understandable unless you're actually working on the product and could possibly get hair into it... but if you're just passing through delivering something, you're not really expected to wear such precautions.

I think you're just hyperbolising the importance of your job a bit...
