UPS Guy and the Chipotle Woman

Manitou Springs UPS Guy and "Chipotle Woman" Honored

The UPS Guy in Action!

MANITOU SPRINGS, CO -- The local UPS Delivery Guy and a Colorado Springs Chipotle cashier are being honored this weekend for their kindness towards Steve Garufi and the entire ColoradoGuy community.

However, in the both incidents, Steve was too shy to ask their name nor did he ask them to pose for a picture - instead resorting to photographing them when they were not aware.

"I saw (the UPS guy) on Manitou Avenue and he looked friendly, so I told him about the web site and how I appreciated him delivering that package." Steve explained, "but I guess I was too shy to ask his name or ask him to pose for a picture."

Last month, the UPS guy promptly delivered Steve's digital camera to his Manitou Springs apartment, which was shipped off for repair during a long two-week period. During that painful time without his camera, Steve resorted to using his father's cheesy print camera as he visited friends and family in New York and New Jersey.

Garufi gave a business card to the UPS employee, who was wearing his customary San Diego Padres brown and yellow uniform. The man, looking at the business card, merely replied, "You're an Internet personality? I'll have to check it out. Thanks."

The "Chipotle woman" has also received public admiration for generously giving Steve a free steak burrito during his Friday visit to Chipotle, a fast food Mexican restaurant in Colorado Springs.

"You're the web site guy, aren't you?" the Chipotle woman asked when Steve began to write out a check at the cash register. The employee explained Steve won a free lunch from a business card he entered in the contest jar recently, but had not yet contacted Steve about his win.

"I was startled that she knew me and it put a big smile on my face," explained Steve, "and then I remembered all the business cards I've left in the contest jar."

The Chipotle woman, who adorned her blonde hair in two "pig tails," had no knowledge Steve decided to honor her as he ate his burrito in the establishment. And, just like the UPS guy, he did not muster the courage to ask her name or request a formal picture of her.

"What's a little scary about the UPS guy is he obviously knows where I live, so I hope he's not mad at me that he's on the web site." reflected Steve.
