No you don't. That's the point of a tip. You don't have to tip unless they deserve it. Now restaurants that charge an "automatic" gratuity are the exception, but they aren't worth going to.
Sure it might be a drop in a pond, but by not giving her any money, that's $10 you've just taken from her. She's probably getting the minimum pay from the restaurant per hour ($2 is it?) so if she was as bad as you say and nobody got served, then nobody should have tipped her. She gets a whole $2 for her efforts. Enough nights of pulling in $2 or $3 an hour and she'll either learn to be a good waitress or find a new profession.
This is a profession where how you work directly and immediately affects your pay, barring the occasional jackass that never tips, no matter the service. Tips are earned, and are not compulsory.
