My dad used to tip for good service, and an extra $50 if the cute waitress gave him her name and phone number (yeah, he was bad). That was back in the 70's and 80's.
Dad was a picky customer. He refused to use salad bars. He expected the waiter/waitress to make his salad and bring it to him (and they did it!). If something wasn't right, he sent it back. He was a pain in the neck in a restaurant.
BUT...if the waiter/waitress pleased him, he tipped VERY well. He would also request that server by name the next time he ate there. He was picky and a pain, but also generous.
He loved to eat in full-service restaurants. When I was a kid growing up with him, we never, never ate at a "fast food" place, even when we drove across country (Route 66). We only ate in full-service restaurants, even as little kids. No burgers, hot dogs or french fries allowed. Mostly steak, lobster, and baked potatoes.
I guess that is why I am used to tipping.
