I just wanna know how everyone thinks is acceptable to tip for a product that you did not even receive yet. How do I know if it’s even good? Can I take my tip back if it’s not?
I don't think it's acceptable, and I don't tip if I pay before I eat. Ironically, I also don't adjust the amount I tip at sit-down restaurants based on how the service was. I refuse to allow tipping to expand beyond where it was customary when I was growing up. There should be less tipping, not more. It should be outlawed entirely.
This is common in other countries outside of the US that do not demand tips, even western ones? When I was at a kebab shop in Germany, the owner offered my family to trial new sauces and falafel he was experimenting with, before we committed to our order.

Just today a waitress offered my kid to taste a few different things before we committed to what he would eat. It was an example of amazing service.
Are you saying you wouldn't reward someone like that with a few extra bucks?

American tiping culture is a form legal discrimination, were customer tip less for workers of different races, religions, genders, sexual orientation.
Only a minority do that. Most people tip based on service not racism.
