Flip

Flip is a recurring character in The Loud House.

Biography
Flip is the owner of Flip's Food & Fuel, a gas station and convenience store.

Butterfly Effect
He first appears in "Butterfly Effect", in which he gives Lisa a job as a gas station employee (although this was only part of Lincoln's fantasy, so this wasn't real).

Come Sale Away
In "Come Sale Away" he has a bigger role, where he appears at the Loud's annual garage sale, trying to purchase Lucy's cheapest item. He then appears to have mistakenly purchased Lily's blanket, and Lincoln then tries to purchase it back from him. In the end, it turns out Lily's blanket was at home after all, meaning Flip managed to swindle Lincoln, and his sisters out of their garage sale money. At the end of the segment he is seen mixing the expired chemicals he purchased from Lisa in his store to make windshield wiping fluids, only for him to cause an explosion.

Intern for the Worse
In this segment he has a bigger role, as he hired Lincoln and Clyde to work at his store. Due to the excellent team job the two of them do, Flip takes advantage of this, ordering them to partake in hard tasks in the store, with the bribe that the best employee will be promoted to manager, and that they'll get possession of the unlimited Flippy cup. This produces a rivalry between the two boys, until they discovered Flip's dirty plan.

After that, Lincoln and Clyde forgive each other, and then they threaten Flip that they'll post footage on the internet about him doing unsatisfactory, and potentially hazardous stuff around the store. Flip says he'll do anything to prevent the footage from going viral. Lincoln and Clyde then instruct Flip to do the same tasks that he made them do earlier.

Personality
He appears to be an opportunist and a swindler, as seen in "Come Sale Away" where he manages to cheat each Loud sibling by giving them "Lily's blanket" in exchange for their garage sale money. In "Out on a Limo", Lincoln states that he never gives him free smoothies, which means that Flip is stingy. In "Intern for the Worse" he comes between Lincoln and Clyde's friendship, by making them compete for higher ranking staff positions at his store. Much to his advantage.

Flip is also a very disgusting man, as seen in "Intern for the Worse" where he sells expired milk, and uses the melted cheese machine to put his dirty clothes. He also falsifies lottery tickets.

Description
Flip is an old man of short stature. He has gray hair, and a bald spot on his head. He has a gray mustache, and eyebrows as well. He wears a white t-shirt, brown pants and black shoes. In "Intern for the Worse" he wears a red button up shirt, rather than his usual white shirt.

Trivia

 * According to Lisa in "Butterfly Effect", Flip is the only person in town who will hire a four-year-old with no experience. It's unknown if this is true, or just part of Lincoln's fantasy.
 * The fact that he cuts corners, tampers with the expiration dates, and has unsanitary conditions with the food he sells, is similar to Apu from "The Simpsons".
 * John DiMaggio uses his Bender voice (from "Futurama") when doing Flip.
