Some of you were talking about tipping the waiter/waiteress. I was a waiteress for several deaf events in past two years. I didn't get very many tips from deaf patrons as well. So I don't blame the hearing waiter/waiteress being impatient with the deaf patrons. Yes, we do depend on tips to balance out our pay rate and income. I was paid $2.15 a hour plus tips. So, no tips from deaf patrons = no money to pay my bills. It hurts.

Yep!
I usually try explaining to deafies that servers get less than minimum wage and most of their wages are from tips. Their typical response is, "If they want more money, they can just ask for more money. I paid for the food. I don't care about their services."
I usually tip 16% to 20% depending on the service. (I usually look at the tax and double it... tax is usually 8% to 8.5%. Double that and you have 16% to 17%. If the service was good, I'll add a dollar or two depending on how good it was.)
