As for the servers, the don't need try to be your new BFF. Just be polite and professional. No tip expected because you get it without fawning over every table. Easier for everyone at tax time, too.[[/LIST]

But most customers won't figure in the tip, they'll just look at the price on the menu. A $16 burger looks high but reasonable and a $3 tip at the end is typical. A $19 burger looks expensive even though no tip will be added. Prices are already 20% higher if you figure in the tip but customers don't figure in the tip.
My guess is that good servers choose busy nights and take on as many tables as possible to get as many tips as possible. Without tipping there would be no incentive to do either of those: whether a server has ten tables or two, $17/hour for 6 hours works out the same. Good servers won't want to lose out on the possibility for good nights.
