I attend Alanon/AA meetings, and sometimes a group of us will go out after the meeting. These are usually Perkins/Village Inn kinds of places, and it's the slow time, 9-11pm. Some of us are eating a late supper, but for most it's just coffee and pie. The server is constantly coming back refilling coffee, water glasses, sometimes we're there for an hour or more on a five dollar ticket. I always tip extra, minimum of a couple dollars, especially if others at my table are being cheapskates.
On the other hand, I tip less if service is bad, but then usually don't stay as long either.
