Instacart delivery drivers have to deal with a lot of headaches and one of them is tip-baiting, also known as tip-fishing.
And it sounds like the guy you’re about to meet in the following TikTok videos is familiar with it.
The man’s first video showed that he had accepted an Instacart order that included a whopping $97 tip.
He told viewers, “I need y’all to pray for me and make sure that this guy is not tip-fishing me.”
Tip-baiting/tip-fishing is when customers attach huge tips to orders hoping that theirs will get picked quickly by drivers…but then they take the big tips away after they get their deliveries.
Shady stuff!
Here’s the video.
