I have never ever even once known what a waiter or waitress's name was, are people asking their names or something?

That's creepy to say the least

I've had servers say "I'm so and so and I'll be your server this evening" but it's gone from my brain the moment they walk away

Ah I see it's probably a tipping culture thing

Interacting with another human being as it they were a human being instead of a servant bringing you food is creepy?

I almost always try to use the servers name if I can. it's better than just hey you or excuse me IMO. I have no idea why calling someone by their name would be creepy.
