I for one do not like servers to grind pepper onto MY food. They certainly don't know how much to grind or get it distributed properly.
Also they often have the attitude that they are doing you a favor by even being there.
Nothing I hate worse than some lackey fawning at my elbow and no doubt wondering as to how much of a tip I'm going to leave (or not leave).

By the way...salt, pepper and sugar dispensers are usually great germ carriers...always use a disposable napkin to handle them, lest you end up with the same disease(s) as the last person(s) who touched them.
