DeafFlyer: so everyone is supposed to feel compasion for your situation, yet you have none for others. Easy for you to say find another job. That's easier said than done.

I had no idea people could be so cheap & petty. I figured the non tippers just didn't know any better. But you do and don't care.

Let me just say...I love Karma.
Here's what it comes down to... Disabled people who do not have a lot of money, and have to pick and chose what they spend on, are being hassled for money to pay for a service legally mandated to be provided to them for free.

It's not our fault you work for less than living wage. We don't force you to take that job. We didn't force the airports to decide not to pay a real wage for the service they are legally mandated to provide to us.

It sucks that they do that, but don't you dare blame that on us disabled people. If you do hassle me for more of a tip than I give you, you'll get none. And if you do anything to threaten me, I will shout out the single word "security" as loud as I can, and that will end your employment.
