However leaving pennies does send a powerful message. The reason for no tip wasn't due to being cheap, forgetting, or any other thing that could be dismissed. It tells the server you had a real problem with the service.

The point was a message like you suggest. I work in the service industry myself, so I knew exactly what I was doing. I wanted her to realize how she was treating her customers was unacceptable. But something was wrong with that one, normally someone doing something like that makes the server feel shame, but this one was clueless and she just got angry.
