How it's used
Primarily used in the context of transportation services, specifically taxi or ride-hailing drivers picking up passengers. It carries a sense of professional duty or the act of securing a fare. While it can technically refer to serving customers in a shop, it is much more commonly associated with driving jobs.
Examples
He has been picking up passengers at the airport all day and still hasn't gone home.
Are you still taking customers now? It is quite dangerous this late.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the Japanese loanword usage where it refers to hostesses or sex workers entertaining clients, as the Cantonese usage is strictly about transportation or general customer service.
