Pizza delivery driver tipped $2 after hiking through dangerous snowstorm

by

Amidst the heavy snowfall, a pizza delivery guy ventured into an affluent district, but was rewarded with just a mere $2 tip. But then, a policeman came to his aid.

On foot, Connor Stephanoff, the local pizza delivery guy nicknamed “The Rock Star Pizza Driver,” trekked a distance of about half a mile, determined to make sure his customer’s order was fulfilled. In a video that went viral on TikTok, posted by police officer Richard Craig, Connor can be seen braving the challenging weather conditions in Brownsburg, Indiana, as snowplows labored to clear the roads.

At first, Stephanoff aimed to deliver his goods, but a school bus accident created a blockade on the road. Undaunted, he decided to finish the task and abandoned his car in the midst of the storm. He braved the weather and completed the delivery on foot.

Outside, Craig helped residents navigate treacherous roads when he saw Stephanoff walking through the snowy road. Worried about his wellbeing, the officer advised him to shift to the pavement. Stephanoff shared that he was venturing out in the snow just to deliver a $40 pizza.

As I looked over my receipt, Stephanoff shared with me, “Craig, I received a tip of $2.15.”

Two dollars?” the officer gasped, clearly surprised. “Really? Heartless! Two dollars for what he’s done. Just look at him – he braved torrential rains and treacherous roads to deliver a pizza.

In a note accompanying the video, Craig stated: “The destination for the delivery was approximately a quarter mile beyond where the bus obstructed the road. Instead of letting this setback deter him, this determined young man chose not to contact his supervisor with complaints or inform the customers that their $40 pizza couldn’t be delivered.

Thousands in tip raised for pizza delivery driver

The police officer demonstrated his backing by handing over fifteen dollars to Stephanoff and launching a GoFundMe page aimed at raising an initial $500. Incredibly, this campaign has already accumulated more than $23,000 as of now.

Expressing genuine feelings on Facebook, Rockstar Pizza stated: “We’ve given more than expected, yet our efforts weren’t acknowledged. Had it not been for Officer Craig, today’s delivery would have simply been routine for Connor.

Additionally, the restaurant mentioned that they provided their staff with an opportunity to work from home during the storm if they found it dangerous. Nevertheless, Stephanoff decided to come in. They commented, “He’s a diligent young worker whom we are thrilled to have on our team.
