A delivery driver has left a note for a customer who didn't tip to explain that he doesn't work "for free".

The DoorDash employee took to TikTok on Tuesday, August 9, to reveal his reaction to a customer who didn't tip as he spread a message to others who expect delivery drivers to bring them food "for free", Insider reports.

In the video, the driver, who goes by the handle @frenchfrythug, shared a video of himself dropping off a customer's food alongside a note that read: "If you can't afford to tip then you should go pick it up yourself.

"Who do you think you are to order food and have someone come and bring it to your door for FREE? FOR FREE?"

A second added: "Ummmmm I tip but this video is wrong. For one you are paid it's your job. Tip is optional for a reason. And I tip larger at the door based on service [sic]."
