If anything, at least give us the option (as customers) to place our own orders and get our own drinks.

You can't really be serious about this. Do you really want to take the time to learn the procedures and details for ordering everything in the restaurant, and do you expect the restaurant to take the time to teach hundreds of customers? No, that's what servers are for. Restaurant teaches servers, servers get the job done.
I have been a server for about a year and a half, and let me tell you, tips are a great motivator for me to give good service. When it's busy, I make more money because I am working harder. If I got paid a straight wage, I most likely wouldn't bust my ass to serve customers in a timely fashion. I'd be more like a fast food workers, just punching in to pass the time so I can leave.
And good service is what patrons expect when going into a restaurant. If you want shitty service and shitty food just eat at a fast food restaurant where you don't have to tip.
