If I receive bad service, I leave a tip of 3 pennies, and let me tell you why "3 pennies". Once when we had bad service, my fiancee said not to leave a tip, but I told her that they may have thought we simply forgot, rather than we intentionall gave a bad tip for bad service.

John has done the same on a few occasions - and for the same reason. I must admit, I felt a bit embaressed and was in hurry to get on. - But, I agree, it is a good way of showing your dissatisfaction!

One time in Spain this happened. We were sitting in a lousy restaurant and had just finished our meal (chicken and fish), the chicken were cut in a way that is was almost dangerous to eat. Some germans came in and sat by the next table and were discussing what to order, so I said: Don't eat the chicken! John couldn't help it but continued: and don't mention the war! - (Faulty Towers!)
