Good service is one of the easiest things to provide: you just have to be polite, moderately attentive, and passably competent. Appearance doesn't matter a whit to me.
If server can't provide decent service, I don't know why I would elect to give them more money than I have to. Basically, if a server is impolite or ignores my table, they're certainly not getting a tip, and I'll probably blacklist the restaurant while I'm at it.
Why anyone would tip bad service is beyond me. Tipping ain't obligatory.
