The Like/Hate Thread

So work gets back to me while I'm on the phone with the guy that's supposed to head out to the loan office with me. Work says "Hey, you are server standby today, so can you come in? Because a server called in, so one of the bussers asked to switch to serving for the person that called in, so we need someone to fill in for that busser. Do you mind?"

Ok, if this was a weekday, where the busser's hourly + tipout is likely to be more than the server, I would. But seriously? "Do you mind not being server since a server called in and you'd make 80-100, and instead come be sushi bar busser today for four hours of hourly plus around 35 in tipout?"

How can you seriously expect me to take a voluntary paycut just because the actual busser wants to serve and get more money from it? Like I said, if it were a weekday, that'd be a different story. I asked them if there were any alternatives - so now I'm going to go deal with this car shit and let them handle it. I wanted to work today, but I also wanted to actually make money, since I'm a server, as a server standby, who is supposed to come in to work for servers that call in sick serving. Not to let a busser take that spot and then have me bus. Fuck that.
