W16: A Snowstorm, A Bad Tip, And A TikTok Miracle

Tipping culture in the U.S. has spiraled out of control—but for workers who rely on tips, it’s more than just an inconvenience. In this episode, we share the incredible story of Connor Stephanoff, a 20-year-old pizza delivery driver who braved a Midwest snowstorm to deliver an order—only to receive a $2 tip. But one chance encounter changed everything. Lieutenant Richard Craig, a police officer with a TikTok following, saw Connor’s dedication and took action. What started as a simple act of kindness turned into a viral crowdfunding campaign, raising over $40,000. This heartwarming episode explores the power of community, the realities of tipping culture, and why small moments of generosity can make the biggest impact.
