You're right, makes no sense when you are unaware of the game. Why is tipping to ensure future quality and care nonsensical?
"Unaware of the game?"
What, do I get a handjob with my pizza now? You don't deserve extra money to literally walk 3 steps, grab my pizza, and ring up my order which is just a part of your job. You're paid at least minimum wage as a regular employee.
A delivery driver uses their own car, they have to navigate to your home--it's an exceptional service.
A waiter/waitress continually returns to your table to address any potential concerns. They're paid less than minimum wage because of industry standard, and tips are "expected" to cover the difference. Those are societal norms.
Tipping the cashier at my local pizza joint is not "expected." Sure, if I want to be on their good side, maybe get an extra dipping sauce for free slipped in my box, a tip can do that as a regular. But the moment you deny me a basic standard of service because I don't tip for carry out? Fuck off, you're a shit establishment and I'll never return. If that was "standard" I'd literally have to tip the cashier who makes my Subway sandwich. And Chipotle burrito. And my bank teller. And my grocer. But why not tip the fucking bagger too? I'll tip my pharmacist and doctor while I'm at it.
No restaurant employee wants you as a customer, so I doubt they would mind if you fucked off elsewhere

I shouldn't have to tip an employee to ensure that they do their job
You don't have to pay for gas and you don't make well below minimum wage like waiters do. I'm sure you don't just stand there and hand out orders but nothing about that suggests I should tip
It basically comes down to this.
Tip me and I will prioritize you over all my other work. Don't, and you will wait until I'm not slammed.
Tell you what, next time you come into the emergency department and there are 15 patients waiting, I'll triage based off of if you tip me or not.
Fucked up right?
Maybe you should just do your job instead of giving benefits to tippers. It's highly unethical behavior.
