No No No, You CAN'T Switch Shifts

I don't care if your relative from the f'in south of France came over unexpectedly and you needed the day off, you can't just switch your shift with another waiter...especially without telling me. (By the way, who the hell comes over "unexpectedly from France" anyway?).

When I do my schedule it's a work of art. I plan my staff based on not only seniority but by their ability. Some waiters are better at setting up buffets, some at plated meals, some are weaker servers but are very good with the customers that they can get by at almost anything and their faults are usually overlooked. And some just suck and I only keep them for when I need a warm body to buss tables and crap like that.

Now this dingbat server has family over and guess who she switches her shift with? You guessed it. The suckiest of the sucky waiters on my staff. Now I gotta babysit this nuckle-head all day and wait for the ball to drop.

I guess that's what I get for keeping some shit waiters on staff.

Hey, do you have some sucky waiters that work with you? If so, tell me about it. (do I hear another Guest Post coming?).
