Leaving a penny or a nickel or a dime is rude & petty. If the service was bad, leave nothing and say the service was bad.

that's the idea though let them know they did a bad job, I was at a bar once where the waitress made me and my friends 35min. before she even brough us menu's because she was busy doing shots with some older (40-60) at the bar, do you think me telling her that her service sucked would change anything? I don't think so. [/b][/quote]
You leave a penny - she just thinks you are a cheap jerk.
You complain to the manager you may get a new server and a freebie.
You may think that leaving a bad tip will communicate to the server that they gave bad service. However, the server just sees it as you being a cheap jerk - not as him/her being a bad waiter. People who do not leave a tip come and go, the jerk who just left a penny will be remembered and may find additions to his meal next time.
If you get bad service, fine, it happens a lot, leave nothing.
