that is true, though i rarely complain about the service unless they absolutely deserve a complaint or negative review. i feel like if someone is doing that bad and just doesn't care, then they will recognize the non-verbal message on why they got a low tip or no tip at all.

the other difficult issue is some people dont believe in tipping even if the service members went above and beyond on servicing you, so not tipping or low tipping wont always send the same message because some people are just a-holes or cheapskates

I think at this point any nonverbal communication goes right over people's heads. It's probably best to think about where the blame really lies (usually management) and focus our criticism there. If a server is rude or inattentive, it's easy to just address them directly but I would say the majority of the time it's not anything deliberate on their part. It would take something pretty bad for me to not tip.
