If you're in the food delivery business, there are lots of ways to earn tips from customers.
Delivering an order within a reasonable time, making sure the food stays in-tact, and being polite to the customer are all surefire tactics. Or, you know, you could confront them at their homes with a camera pointed in their face:
That's what the delivery driver who goes by @DashingTrader tends to lean towards.

According to his TikTok bio, this delivery bloke is the 'fastest' in the business, but warns that he will confront 'no tip customers'.
And a quick scroll through his profile will confirm just that.
In his videos @DashingTrader films himself confronting customers who haven't tipped while ordering their food online, and playing 'smash or pass' with customers depending on how much they've tipped.
Recently, this delivery driver/TikToker went viral when he posted a video compilation of his 'clown encounters' with 'no tip customers'.

Each time he points his phone camera in a customer's face, he asks them: "You ever heard of no tip, no trip?," before asking them why they decided not to tip him for their order.
If you're not familiar, 'no tip no trip' is a trending phrase among food delivery app drivers meaning that if a customer doesn't tip them well, they won't deliver the food.
Of course, this phrase heavily relies on customers tipping through their food delivery app, before the driver sets out to deliver the food, so it isn't he most fool-proof system.
And viewers have been trying to tell him just as much.

"I only tip after the fact, I don't see the point in tipping before," wrote one follower.
"What happened to tipping after the service," asked another. "How am I supposed to know what to tip until the service is done?"
Some suggested that @DashingTrader might want to pack up the food delivery job and try out something else.
"Bro's mad he's gotta do a job he signed up for," joked one viewer.

Another agreed: "Bro spends all his time hassling people for not tipping when he could spend the same time applying for a new job."
And others informed this TikToker that if they ever had him as a delivery driver, he likely wouldn't get a tip from them either.
"If someone said this to me... The entitlement is crazy," penned one user, while a second added: "Imagine making an order and some guys pulls up w your food and a camera in your face... This world is insane."
And a third joked: "No tip no trip no business left." Ice cold.
