The waiters don't treat the old deaf man, who is a very good costumer, as they treat all the rest of the costumers.
Throughout the story it is mentioned a few times about the shadows of the leaves. What Hemingway is trying to illustrate is the loniness and death. When it is Autumn, it is close to winter and all the surroundings are changing. The leaves are all falling off the trees, it is becoming cold and dark. Fewer days with sunlight and longer nights.
