If you can't/won't leave a solid tip, go to a restaurant that has counter service... one of those "number twelve your clams are ready" places.

Waitstaff make crap base pay. The counter places usually pay more-you can still tip the register person anyway...

Otherwise, take care of your waitstaff!!!! They bust ass and lots of the time if you think the service is slow, it's the kitchen's fault.

I know, I've worked all ends of it- waitress, bar, line cook, prep, dish, bus, catering....and I'll tell you the cooks will RIDE the waitresses if the food sits there waiting to be picked up!
