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:

Someone pointed out combining serving with being deaf would be very difficult.

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.

Robert Downey Jr. Reveals Gwyneth Paltrow Had No Clue Who Tom Holland Was Despite Starring In Several Movies With Him

It’s been nearly six years since Gwyneth Paltrow last suited up as Pepper Potts in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, yet according to Robert Downey Jr., she still struggles to tell certain Avengers apart.

Downey Jr. roasted his longtime co-star in spectacular fashion while presenting her with The Hollywood Reporter’s Sherry Lansing Leadership Award, a moment that played less like a formal tribute and more like Tony Stark gently ribbing Pepper for forgetting who Spider-Man is.

Samantha Fulnecky, the University of Oklahoma student who received a zero on a psychology essay about gender after using the Bible as her only source, was honored by the Oklahoma House of Representatives with a special "Citation of Recognition" this week after her complaint—which resulted in a transgender graduate student being placed on administrative leave—made headlines.

Fulnecky's instructor Mel Curth, a transgender woman, assigned her students a 650-word essay about how gender stereotypes impact societal expectations of individuals. Fulnecky instead wrote about what the Bible says about "traditional gender roles," arguing that to refer to them as "stereotypes" is "demonic."
