There is no reason for a tip to be given before the actual service is provided. A tip is meant to show appreciation for the quality of service, not to be an insurance to get a barely decent one.


If you’re never coming back or feel it will not reputational impact you, there’s no economic incentive to tip after the service is rendered either.

It’s a moral and social contract decision. In particular if you want to incentive the world to provide good service.
