A TikToker shared a life hack with followers involving ordering food from DoorDash and getting paid for it–tip included.
Simon Fraser–a.k.a. TikToker @simonfraser_–is a standup comedian who lives in Columbus, Ohio.
His side job is as a "dasher" for the food delivery service app.
Fraser said he lives above a restaurant and has a DashPass, which gives users unlimited free deliveries on orders over $12.
His clever trick involves ordering from the restaurant below him using free delivery as a DashPass holder, quickly logging into the DoorDash work portal to accept the job.
Fraser then runs downstairs to pick up his order and simultaneously gets paid for getting his own food–essentially avoiding having to pay someone else to do the job for him.
For an added boost, Fraser said:
"Then I give myself a big tip."
The clip sparked mixed responses.
Some touted him as a genius.

A handful of TikTokers suggested it might be time to start looking elsewhere for work.

It might not be long before DoorDash becomes wise to his ways and deactivates his account.
So far, there have been no updates relating to the security of his side hustle.
