A Detroit pizza franchise has a new rulefor its delivery orders: none after dark. 底特律的一家披萨连锁店最近有了一条新的外卖规定:天黑后无外卖。
Talk Radio 1270 writes that Jets Pizza inDearborn, Mich. decided to implement the measure after 19-year-old Tim McKenna,a Jet Pizza employee, was shot in the chest while delivering pizza in atheft-motivated incident. 据1270电台谈话节目报道,密歇根州迪尔伯恩市一名19岁的“喷气机”披萨雇员,蒂姆·麦肯纳,在送披萨途中遭遇强盗,胸部中弹。事后,“喷气机”披萨决定在当地执行该措施。
McKenna's mother, Joan, explained thecompany's previous policy of sending out armed drivers: 麦肯纳的母亲琼恩解释说,该公司之前的政策,是由武装司机负责分送外卖。
“They usuallysend somebody with a guy … who carries a gun. Usually they have two go intoDetroit after dark, if they have a delivery. One guy has a legal, he can carrya gun. That night, Timmy was the only one left, they had this one run to do, hesaid ‘yeah, I’ll do it.’ He’s a kid, he doesn’t think anything’s going tohappen to him.” “他们通常会派个有枪的人跟着去。如果天黑以后有人叫外卖,通常他们会派两个人去底特律,其中一个有合法持枪证,身上带着枪。那天晚上,蒂米是一个人去的,他们就剩一单外卖要送了,他说‘是啊,我能搞定。’他还是个孩子,他不觉得会有什么发生在他身上。”
McKenna was only carrying $35 when he wasshot. He was treated for a broken rib and punctured lung, but he's fortunatelyexpected to make a full recovery and attend college in the fall. 麦肯纳被枪击时,身上只带了35美元。他的一根肋骨骨折,肺部穿孔,被送进医院接受治疗。幸运地是他很快就能完全康复,并在秋天去上大学。
The Dearborn Patch is now conducting a pollabout the measure, which asks if its important for safety measure, or an overlyjudgmental policy based on a single incident. As of publishing time, theresults have pointed overwhelmingly to the former. 这家总部位于迪尔伯恩的披萨连锁公司目前正在针对该措施进行投票表决,有人对这种安全措施的重要性持怀疑态度,还有人质疑仅基于一次孤立事件就出台的政策是否属于判断偏颇。截止到出版前,投票结果以压倒性优势倾向于前者。
Local Fox affiliate WJBK spoke with anotherdriver at Jets Pizza, who supported the rule, saying: "We're losingbusiness, but still, we cannot risk our life." 福克斯本地新闻子公司WJBK采访了“喷气机”披萨的另一名司机,他完全支持这项措施,并说道:“我们的生意越来越差,但不管怎么样,我们都不能拿命来冒险。”
