Just curious, is there a particular minority or disability class that you seem to attract? For me it's deaf people. For some reason I always get the deaf people, had two tables of them two days in a row. The only things I can say in ASL are 'how are you?' and 'I'm sorry I don't know sign language' so I'm pretty sure it's not because I'm better at communicating. Generally, though, most of them read lips or have a translator that can partially hear so it works out ok. The trick is to always look at their faces and speak slowly. Yelling really doesn't help, I promise.
So just wondering. Any particular group of people you ALWAYS seem to get sat with?

Does mid-life crisis count as a disability?
Do douchebags count? :)
Douchebags always count, or at least they want us to think they do :P
Mid-life crises only count if they were a fuckwad to begin with :P
We have a few deaf customers (all but one of which are downright nasty and unpleasant to deal with), but our clientele is largely comprised of the sexagenarian and up crowd. So think about your worst tables, pretty much, and multiply that by the entire restaurant.
old as hell people w/ walkers that take up the whole aisle, & take ten mintues to sit down and ten more minutes to speak and order...quite a few wheel chairs that take up the whole aisle as well, and then there are those moms w/ a thousand kids and even more high chairs and baby seats stacked around the table, making it impossible to lay anything down or even touch the table....maybe thats not a disability, but it should be....
Old people who come in. I'm going to cheat and say their disability is "cheap douchebag syndrome" ;)
