The rest of me is being haunted by three years of slinging dough day in and day out. On the upside, no more pizza jacking. Wow, mandatory tipping-delivery driver; if only!

They already use caller ID and delivery zone maps to determine which store will deliver your pizza and keep track of other similar things.

I've worked on several different phone system data correlation systems, and those sorts of capabilities are in high demand. People often perceive the major privacy threats to come from governments.
