I look at it as, what’s $1000+/- in tips over the month if it gets me a reservation the next day that normally takes a month? Or the chef comes out and offers us something incredible they’re just trying out? These things don’t happen to those that don’t treat the servers well.

This. If you have places you go and you’re a regular and you’re known to take care of the staff then you’re taken care of in return.

Of course I’m American so I have an American attitude about tipping. You have to take the local culture into account.
