You like to show your appreciation. The restaurant should show you their appreciation. They are the ones that need you in order to survive, not the other way round.
By dumping 20% on the waiter (× howevermany tables per hour) (unnecessarily since employer must cover income not received in tips), you actually hurt the restaurants profit. If not for tipping, restaurants could probably be able to buy better quality ingredients and improve their overall quality for far less than what you now leave the person who has nothing to do with any part of producing the product placed before you. Huge reward for so little input to the food you ordered.

“Except for the servers…”. Okay then, out of whose pocket does the remainder of the money come from for paying the servers?
