Netko je morao pohvaliti mladićevu predanost.

Zima je stigla, a snijeg je zameo dijelove svijeta i tako otežao kretanje i putovanje, koje je mnogima neophodno kako bi zaradili svoju plaću. Iako je mnoge dijelove SAD-a pogodilo snježno i hladno vrijeme, ekstremni uvjeti ne znače da pružatelji usluga prestaju raditi.

Upravo je u Indiani tako uočen dostavljač Connor Stephanoff, a snimljen je kako hoda kroz snijeg nakon što je obližnjoj obitelji dostavio pizzu.

Prema snimci koju je snimio policajac Richard Craig, zaposlenik pizzerije Rock Star Pizza isprva je vozio kako bi dovršio narudžbu, ali posljednji je dio rute bio prisiljen pješačiti nakon što je pokvareni školski autobus blokirao snijegom prekrivenu cestu.

Scena najbolje opisuje ekstremnost uvjeta na cesti, no hrabrog dostavljača to nije spriječilo pri obavljanju svoje dužnosti. Isto tako, uvjeti nisu spriječili ni poručnika Craiga, koji je također bio na mjestu nesreće kako bi pomogao stanovnicima da se snađu.

Tada je uočio dostavljača kako gazi kroz snijeg, a Stephanoff je policajcu rekao da morao hodati po snijegu kako bi dovršio dostavu u vrijednosti od 40 dolara. "Jesi li dobio dobru napojnicu?" upitao ga je Craig, na što je Stephanoff odgovorio: "Dva dolara."

Potpuno zaprepašten, policajac je rekao: "Dva dolara? Šališ se? Hladnokrvno! Dva dolara. Pogledajte ovog čovjeka. Ovaj čovjek je hodao kroz pakao i visoku vodu kako bi dostavio pizzu."

@officercraig $2 TIP SHOULD BE A CRIME! Whoever did this: #SHAMEFUL ROCKSTAR PIZZA HAS A ROCKSTAR DRIVER. (Brownsburg, IN.) This guy is a RARE breed. During today’s all day snowstorm, crashes and slideoffs were coming in near 30 calls an hour. This school bus had a minor crash. The bus slid backwards and sideways down a hill and gets stuck, blocking this neighborhood street, and making it completely impassable. The roads were so bad, it took us 20 min. to get 3-4 miles. THIS #DELIVERYDRIVER pulled up before officers arrived. The delivery was about 1/4 mile past where the bus was blocking the street. This young man did not allow this to discourage him. He didn’t call his manager to complain, he didn’t call the customer and tell them their $40 pizza order could not be delivered. Oh no. THIS MAN IS BUILT DIFFERENT. He would not be discouraged by the obstacles he was encountering, which included a 1/2 mile hike round trip in the cold, wet snow. He parked his vehicle at the top of the hill, got out, wearing grey sweats, Nikes, and NO COAT nor GLOVES. He grabbed this #RockstarPizza, and took off hiking thru the very cold, and wet snow with the pizza in tow. It was the beginning of his shift at 4:30p on a Friday afternoon, BUT he was determined this family got their pizza. This is in a more affluent neighborhood, and I’m sure he thought he would be rewarded properly for his RARE display of PRIDE and DEDICATION to his work- that is often times not seen by some of his generation. But more so, he wanted to ensure this family got their pizza to their door! So they did not have to leave the confines of their warm, comfortable, AND VERY NICE home. He got my attention as I see him walking in the middle of street after he made the delivery. I said outloud “what does this guy think he is doing?” As I initially thought he was a neighbor coming to “rubberneck” the crash. The bus driver told me he walked by once and was delivering a pizza. I didn’t believe that fully because what young pizza delivery guy in 2025 would do this??? None that I know! Not believing it completely, I hit RECORD and ask this young man. I was dumbfounded and in disbelief when he confirmed. But most of all - I was impressed- AND STILL AM! I’m proud to witness this firsthand. But my excitement and pride quickly turned to frustration when I asked him about his tip. WHO TIPS A GUY WHO RISKS EVERYTHING TO DRIVE FOOD TO YOUR DOOR LIKE THIS?? Let alone, gets out to hike it to you while every road was nearly impassable! I REALLY HOPE this algorithm is good enough that whomever DID THIS, SEES THIS! You should be ashamed of yourself whoever u are!! SHAME ON YOU. A $40 pizza delivered and a $2 tip! EVERYONE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD CAN AFFORD IT. AND IF THEY CANT, STOP ORDERING PIZZA YOU CANT AFFORD! After processing he only received $2, and what I just witnessed, I reached for my own wallet. To PAY THE TIP FOR SOMEONE THAT PROBABLY MAKES DOUBLE MY SALARY. But I did not want this young man discouraged. Unfortunately my wallet was in my Tahoe, which was at the top of the big hill. I quickly as I could chased him down up the hill giving him the little cash I had in my wallet. (About $15) HE DESERVED MUCH MORE. Not sure who this guy is, BUT IF YOU DO, PLZ TAG HIM, SHOW HIM SOME ❤️❤️❤️ AND GIVE HIM THE RECOGNITION HE DESERVES! Well done sir.🫡#IncredibleWork #Rockstar #Brownsburg #Indiana #delivery #Driver #snow #PizzaGuy #pizza @Dave Portnoy #LifeLawAndFootball #dedicated #workethic @Pat McAfee Show Clips ♬ original sound - Officer Craig

U opisu sada viralnog videa na TikToku poručnik je dao više konteksta situaciji. "Bio je početak njegove smjene u 16:30 u petak poslijepodne, ALI bio je odlučan da ova obitelj dobije svoju pizzu", napisao je. Da bi stvari bile još gore, riječ je o elitnijem susjedstvu u kojem žive financijski uspješniji ljudi.

"Ovo je u imućnijem susjedstvu i siguran sam da je mislio da će biti primjereno nagrađen za RIJEDAK iskaz PONOSA i PREDANOSTI svom poslu, što ne vidimo često kod drugih ljudi njegove generacije. Ali, štoviše, želio je osigurati da ova obitelj svoju pizzu dobije na vrata! Tako da nisu morali napuštati posjed svog toplog, udobnog I VRLO LIJEPOG doma."

Policajcu je bilo žao dječaka pa je Stephanoffu dao 15 dolara iz vlastitog džepa i također je postavio stranicu GoFundMe. U trenutku pisanja ovog članka stranica je prikupila više od 27 tisuća dolara.

Rockstar Pizza, Stephanoffov poslodavac, napisao je na Facebooku: "Mislim da je ono što ovu priču čini rezonantnom to što je u ovom ili onom trenutku svatko od nas koji je radio na poziciji korisničke službe bio Connor. Prešli smo iznad onoga što bi svatko ikada mogao tražiti od nas, a trud se nije cijenio.

"Da nije bilo policajca Craiga, ovo bi bila samo još jedna smjena za Connora. Od srca, hvala vam što Connoru pokazujete toliko ljubavi i podrške. Nemate pojma koliko ovo pozitivno utječe na njegovu obitelj."
