I don't have to pay the server more either, but since it's more work, unless the service was really bad, I will pay them for the extra "WORK" they had to do. It's more work to get me more bread, cokes to-go, a bunch of refills, extra condiments, etc. I feel more work, the more tip you should pay to be *FAIR* to the server(unless the service was bad of course).

So even though you still pay for your extra drink you're being a smart shopper because you CHOSE to pay it? That makes no sense.
Also, if doing this forces the restaurant to raise its prices, how is that being a smart shopper? You're just raising your costs in the future - which means larger tips too (if you tip by percentage).
