Deaf TikToker and server @llosoncy recounted a recent experience where customers requested a different server because they felt uncomfortable with her reading their lips to take their order.

Customers being awful to servers isn't new, but Deaf TikToker luvr lo—@llosoncy—added a new spin when she posted a recent interaction she had with some hearing customers and their reaction to her lip-reading.

The customers—after being told she needs them to look up when they speak so she can read their lips—eventually used the pen and paper she offered to request a different server.


The customer's note read:

"Can we get a different server please?"
"I'm uncomfy with being lip-read, it's weird."

You can see luvr lo's video here:

I dont get people like this often but for the record: being deaf doesnt stop me from doing my job and getting paid (; #deaf #serverlife #toxiccustomers #fyp

Immediately, people were on the server's side and disapproved of the customers' actions.

Over 1 billion people on Earth are hard of hearing, and over 70 million are deaf.

Some of them might be your restaurant server.

Be kind.
