Policist je iz svojega žepa primaknil napitnino dostavljalcu pic, ki je kljub snegu in mrazu dostavil jed premožni družini.
Zima nam je do zdaj, kot že nekaj let zapored, precej prizanesla, kar pa trenutno ne velja za velik del ZDA.
Zasneženih je veliko predelov in mnogim Američanom je sneg otežil ne le potovanja, ampak tudi vsakdanje gibanje in zaslužek. Vendar se vsi niso pustili motiti. Tako je na družbenih omrežjih zakrožil posnetek dostavljalca iz Indiane, ki je v snegu družini dostavljal pico.
Connor Stephanov se je prebijal skozi sneg, ko ga je ujela kamera uporabnika TikToka z nadimkom “officerCraig”. To je sicer policist po imenu Richard Craig. Ta je v času zametov pomagal lokalnim prebivalcem in opazil dostavljalca, ki se je prebijal skozi sneg.
Vprašal ga je, od kod prihaja in komu je dostavil pico. Stephanov mu je povedal, da je prišel iz oddaljene picerije in da je moral precejšen del poti prepešačiti, ker mu sneg ni več dovoljeval vožnje, da bi zaključil dostavo, vredno 40 dolarjev. “Si prejel vsaj dobro napitnino?” ga je vprašal Craig, Stephanoff pa mu je odgovoril: “Dva dolarja.”
Popolnoma presenečen je policist dejal: “Dva dolarja? Se šališ?! … Poglejte tega človeka. Ta človek je šel skozi pekel in visok sneg, da je dostavil pico.” V ZDA namreč napitnina pomeni precejšen del zaslužka v storitvenih poklicih, kamor sodijo tudi dostavljalci hrane. Ti običajno dobijo 15 do 20 odstotkov napitnine, običajna napitnina pa znaša najmanj 3 do 5 dolarjev (približno toliko evrov), piše časnik Rider’s Digest.
V opisu zdaj viralnega videa na TikToku je policist dodal še, da je Connor pico prinesel v naselje, kjer živijo premožnejši prebivalci. “… prepričan sem, da je mislil, da bo ustrezno nagrajen za izkazano zavezanost svojemu delu, kar redko vidimo pri drugih pripadnikih njegove generacije. Ampak kar je še pomembnejše: želel je zagotoviti, da bo ta družina pico prejela na dom. Da ji ni bilo treba zapustiti toplega, udobnega in zelo lepega doma,” je zapisal v opisu.
Policista je Connorjeva zgodba razburila in ganila: “Dva dolarja za dostavo, vredno 40 dolarjev. Vsakdo v tem naselju si lahko privošči več,” je še zapisal in dodal, da je kasneje fanta izsledil in mu dal 15 dolarjev (približno toliko evrov) napitnine iz lastnega žepa.
@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
V zgodbi, ki jo je objavil na družbenih omrežjih in jo kasneje delil tudi za lokalni medij, je razkril, da ga je zgodba navdihnila. Postavil je spletno stran na portalu za sofinanciranje raznih idej. Do zdaj, ko o tem pišemo, je zbral več kot 28.000 dolarjev (skoraj toliko evrov).
Oglasili so se tudi v piceriji, kjer Connor dela. “Mislim, da je tisto, kar to zgodbo naredi odmevno, to, da je vsak od nas, ki je kdaj delal s strankami, bil Connor. Naredili smo vse, kar bi kdo lahko od nas zahteval, a naš trud ni bil cenjen,” so zapisali na svoji Facebookovi strani. “Če ne bi bilo policista Craiga, bi to bila za Connorja le še ena izmena. Iskrena hvala, da Connorju izkazujete toliko ljubezni in podpore. Ne morete si misliti, kako pozitivno to vpliva na njegovo družino.”
