Just a couple things: tipping because the kitchen's slow isn't really fair... the server is getting screwed because the cooks messed up, but guess what? The cooks are still getting paid.
If servers worked for a flat rate, and not tips...you'd see a pretty big change in the industry, I think. Less experienced servers, who are just working for minimum wage, probably aren't going to pay as much attention to you as someone working for your tip.
Back to the OP, there are certain situations where tipping a little more is very much appreciated. Camping at the table is one of them...having kids who make a huge mess is another (unless you take the time to clean up after them--and I'm not talking regular kid stuff. I'm talking "junior threw every single piece of spaghetti, plus croutons, on the floor.")
