As a result, most servers are pessimistic, but I would have to give the server $100 bill at 8PM to get the kind of reaction I can get with a $10 at noon --

True. but I like to tip.
When I buy coffee, i expect 10$ for the drink. if it turns out to be 4$, hey, next time I show up, i get special treatment. I also hope the money spreads on. nice, but hey....I like stimulating the economy.
