I tip and adhere to the 15%. However, I don't think twice about giving a lower tip if warranted; sometimes none. A tip is a tip. If you do not serve me to my satisfaction, then you aren't earning your 15%.
The biggest problem I have with tipping is gratuity. Gratuity is complete bullshit. Not because of a fixed 18%-20%, but because it gives the waiters a get out of jail free card. They can slack off and not care as much about your table because they are 99% of the time guaranteed to get that tip. A lot of establishments will not even waive the gratuity no matter how much you bitch. It's fucked.
