The idea of tipping before the service is given is ridiculous. At sit-down restaurants you get to taste the food, see the care put into it, the presentation, service, etc. But at your local sandwich shop or with UberEats, you pay and tip before receiving the wrong order or bad quality food. Tips are supposed to be the incentive to provide a good service/product, not a custom which renders you the asshole when ignored.
