Yeah... It doesn't make sense, it's either a fee, or it's as someone else here pointed out a bribe so they might go faster take better care of your food or take your order at all. But nothing ensures that if you pay first ..

Tbh I feel like tipping in general should end already... they only thing it makes is desperate people trying to get by instead of getting a proper income to begin with.

so they might go faster take better care of your food

Paying the tip upfront offers zero incentive for that to happen. That's the whole point of tipping after services are rendered.
