indiana, usa - A pizza delivery driver in Indiana received a $2 tip after delivering a meal in a snowstorm, but thanks to a generous police officer, that tip has now reached almost $30,000.
Braving the Snowstorm
Connor Stephanoff, a pizza delivery driver in Brownsburg, Indiana, went above and beyond to deliver a meal worth $40 in the midst of a snowstorm. He had to walk the remaining half a kilometer on foot through thick snow after encountering a roadblock due to a school bus accident.
Police officer Richard Craig, shocked by the small tip Stephanoff received, personally gave him $15 and started a crowdfunding campaign on GoFundMe. Initially aiming to raise $500, the campaign has now raised over $28,600. Craig also shared the delivery driver's story on TikTok.
Stephanoff's employer, Rockstar Pizza, praised his dedication to work during the storm and highlighted the lack of appreciation for his efforts despite going the extra mile. The restaurant expressed gratitude for Stephanoff's hard work and emphasized their employees' safety during extreme weather conditions.
