Should you or do you tip even for shoddy service?

I'll bet you $2 dollars that delivery guys like coming to our house more. My roommates and I always tip them with a bottle of whatever **** is currently residing in our fridge. :) I hope they don't ***** it on the way driving back to the pizza...

What do you do when a service isn't exactly up to your standards, whether in a restaurant or elsewhere? I'm divided about this issue. On one hand, I know waiters/waitresses don't make that much money. But on the other hand, I don't want to reward service I feel was unsatisfactory. How do you resolve the problem?
