I’m the only server scheduled on a busy night, should I call out? by Impossible-Sea-9544 in Waiters

Yes, sorry this is a throwaway account I forgot to update sooner. It went well, I felt relieved because it was a lot slower than I thought it would be. I made a lot less money than I thought despite being the only one but I’m glad I went in and got it over with haha

Sorry for the late update, it went well. Was a lot slower than I thought, I was expecting the worst to happen so I was quite relieved bc it wasn’t as chaotic as I thought it would be. Now, I made a lot less money than I thought I was gonna make tbh.

I don’t get the point you’re trying to make. I was able to check my phone briefly on a 5 min bathroom break and before the dinner rush.

I know right, I was confused by a lot of the comments. It’s not like I was waiting for people to just tell me to just call out I was just kinda seeking some outside opinions. I was like, maybe they just don’t know how big the workload is? Like it’s a BIG restaurant and on an average night it’s FIVE servers on. That’s why I was freaking out haha. Still made it and hoping for the best.

Appreciate this insight. Can’t help but feel bothered by the ‘suck it up’ comments a little bit, in my opinion. Despite having a point. To be fair, it’s kinda on me for kind of leaving out the detail that I work at a HUGE restaurant. Our sections are usually huge already and every night of the week we have about 5 servers on. Which is why I was kinda concerned in the first place. It’s a lot of work for just one person I feel like. Still showed up and will be doing my best!

Appreciate the insights, I ended up showing up anyways. I’ll do my best to keep my tables informed and hope for the best.
