Konor Stefanof nije dozvolio da ga snežna oluja i zatvoreni put spreče da dostavi hranu na vreme, ali je kao zahvalnost dobio samo napojnicu od 2 dolara, odnosno oko 2 evra bakšiša (234 u dinarskoj protivvrednosti). Jedan policajac je smatrao da je premalo nagrađen za svoj trud i posao — nakon čega je pokrenuo neverovatnu akciju prikupljanja novca kako bi mu se zahvalio kako zaslužuje!

Stefanof radi za lokalni restoran „Rock Star Pizza“ u Braunsburgu, u američkoj saveznoj državi Indijani. Prema navodima TV stanice ABC, živi sa svojom bakom i pomaže joj u plaćanju računa.

Njegova zarada po satu je niska, a bakšiš jedina šansa da zaradi pristojan prihod. Bez obzira na vremenske uslove, uvek kreće na put.

Samo dva dolara za naporan put kroz sneg i led

Ali nedavno je jedna saobraćajna nesreća školskog autobusa blokirala zaleđeni put. Zbog toga je dostavljač odlučio da ostatak puta pređe peške kroz sneg – bez jakne. Policajac Ričard Krejg, koji je bio na licu mesta da reguliše saobraćaj, video je njegov trud i zabeležio sve mobilnim telefonom.

„Apsolutno ludo! Potrudite se više, ljudi!“

Kada je policajac pitao mladog čoveka da li je barem dobio dobru napojnicu za svoj trud, Stefanof je odmahnuo glavom:

– Dva dolara i 15 centi, a pice su koštale 40 dolara.

Krejg je to smatrao neprihvatljivim za tako bogat kraj i dodao:

– Apsolutno ludo. Potrudite se više, ljudi!

@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

Policajac pokrenuo akciju prikupljanja pomoći

Potom je Kreg otrčao do svog automobila, sakupio sav keš koji je imao i dao Stefanofu 15 dolara. Ali, smatrao je da ni to nije dovoljno. Zato je na društvenim mrežama podelio snimak razgovora sa Stefanofom i pokrenuo kampanju prikupljanja sredstava za njega na poznatoj platformi za humanitarnu pomoć.

– Iz prve ruke sam video radnu etiku, posvećenost i odlučnost ovog mladića dok sam bio na mestu nesreće tokom snežne oluje. Takva radna etika je retkost kod ljudi njegovih godina – pojasnio je on.

Njegov cilj je bio da prikupi 500 dolara (485 evra) bakšiša za njega.

Akcija je postala viralna, a za samo sedam dana prikupljeno je više od 25.000 evra.

– Još uvek ne mogu da verujem da je to stvarno, ali jeste – rekao je Stefanof je za ABC, i dodao da je zahvalan je i kaže da sada može još više da pomogne svojoj baki.
