Not just deaf people but any people (myself included)--if they can't afford to pay a decent tip, then they shouldn't eat at the restaurant. Or order just an appetizer or salad bar or something they can afford plus tip.
Can a deaf person use SSI as an excuse when they go to the grocery store? Can they tell the clerk, "Oh, I can't afford to pay for all my groceries, so I'll just give you what I can but I'll keep the food."? No!! Can they go to the gas station and say, "Oh, I can only afford to pay for 12 gallons of gas but I will put 18 gallons in my car."? No!! So why should they be able to rip off restaurant servers?
