Another thing I have noticed that is kind of interesting is that it is usually always male servers that have given the best service.

Quoted for truth.
You pay a base price for service at a restuarant. This price is built into the cost of your meal. A tip is for service that went beyond average and should not be "expected" by the server.
One of the things that really bugs me is the tip jars at a coffee shop. Why are we tipping a coffee server? What makes them different then someone stuffing my Big Mac into a paper bag? I'd argue that the fast food worker is likely working harder too.
