Couple of additions: For good service, I frequently leave a note on my receipt rather than actually talk to the manager.
Also, I overtip for decent service in two situations: when I'm out by myself for Mom's night out and hang out an extra 20 minutes reading, and when I'm out with the small person and she shares my food or makes a mess. Well, okay, that second one is sometimes influenced by whether the server is nice to her ;). I don't expect people to gush, but I once had a server ignore her entirely when she was saying, "Hi!" I still tipped decently, but didn't add my usual OMG CHILD extra.
