This is the reason why I find "tipping" food servers for "good service" so perverse. the quality of the service you get is almost always a function of how well the place is managed.

Was your hard working server set up for failure by someone making 4 times her wage? A good manager can take a terrible team and make them a great team.

I usually tip well and complain to management when I get bad service for this reason. Unless business is slow and the server is obviously goofing off in the back or something.
