Never say never..

There was a deaf wait staff and she had to endure such unbelievable orders from the Deaf customers. It wasn't the food orders, mind you! If the particular Deaf customers arrived at the restaurant, they'd motion to their ears and wave their hands in the air to motion they were Deaf, this meant they wanted the Deaf waitress. Lordy, the manager and supervisor had to deal with those Deaf customers to explain that each waitress was assigned to each table areas when he/she starts a shift.

To see such a scene myself, I wanted to hide myself because if one of the Deaf customers wanted a refill, all they had to do was wave their arms in public. What a way to attract attention! Even a few people from the table tried to pull the sorry old excuse saying "Hey we're the same kind, Deafies, gimme a discount on my meals, eh?"

The next time the very same group came, the Deaf waitress made sure she had the most difficult and "hard to get along with" wait staff serve them!

A wonderful comeuppance!
