If a server goes out of their way to try to make my experience better I will thank them for that. I won't call it "yucky" or tell them to keep their meal suggestions to themselves.
What is yucky is asking you for your name AND then remembering it. That is not necessary, in my opinion. They are not going to call on you for service.
