Pizza guys and other assorted food deliverers haven't had it easy on our Blotter lately. We were surprised at how much pizza guys have to go through to share their pies with the world. Pizza guys get held up, and then all they're left with is their warming box.

Perhaps that's why the Globe talked to the BPD and published some helpful tips for those who deliver food. The tips include:

--Know your neighborhood before you start
--Don't travel with a lot of cash (hence, customers shouldn't expect the pizza guy to break your big bills)
--"Don't deliver in a daze" (loosely translated for those who are in it more for the munchies than the money, lay off the bong hits before you go out)
--If accosted, give up the pizza. It isn't worth it.

What if you're not a pizza guy? Well, don't take your pizza guy for granted, and tip them well.
