We had a deaf friend that lip read.  She went to a restaurant where the 
waiters had full beards and mustaches and a verbal menu.    She explained 
the problem she asked for a waitress.  The waiter returned with a brail 
menu.

In another instance we were the only normally hearing couple in a large 
group of deaf friends that nearly filled up a high end bar & grill.  All 
read lips (we were not sign qualified).  Management turned down the lights 
to improve the mood and refused to turn them back up.  End result he emptied 
the establishment.
