The server is not reponsible for either the quality of the food, nor the time it takes to prepare it.
He/she is not necessarily responsible for the time to prepare the cheque. Often the restaurant is under-staffed and the server simply has too many tables to serve. If this appears to be the case, then a word with the manager would be a suggestion, and not a reason to deny a tip.
A good server should be knowledgable about the menu selection and be able to answer any questions, and take the orders accurately. Above all, he/she should be friendly and personable.

I like my single malt scotch. I if ask for one and the server does not know if they have one or the name of one I figure on poor service and am usually right.
One restaurant told me they did not have a single malt when I could see the Glenfiddich bottle on the back bar. We just left and found another place.
Ask for it straight up and it comes on the rocks or worse with water. Back it goes and I usually get up to make sure they do not just pour it into another glass if they served it with ice. I have left more than one place that tried that.

well the elite places where i dine, they never present you with a check. You order, they wait hand and foot, and then when finished, they get your coat, help you put it on, open the door for you and the valet brings your car......
nothing so crass as to pay money in public for eating out.

Sounds dandy Mkbilly, but dining in such an elite establishment, I assume you don't have that woodchucker companion of yours in tow... :
