Really busy Restaurant?

Question

So I work at a SUPER busy restaurant and it's small too so it's always crammed. I haven't worked for a week but tomorrow i have to get up at 8 and work. I work on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, because it's Labour Day Weekend. IT'S SO BUSY FROM ALL OF THE TOURISTS. It's really tiring and the time passes slowly ... I only work five hours for 8.20 an hour no matter how busy and I just want to sleep because I have to go to school Tuesday. It's pure torture and my bosses are jerks who swear all the time. I'm quitting at the end of October but my co-worker tells me that the next long weekend is Octoberfest and she just about fainted working that weekend. What can I do to make my job easier. They yell at you for standing there for 3 seconds. I work REALLY hard.

Answer 1

Sounds like your bosses are jerks. I understand how waiting tables can be tiring I have worked in them over 20+ years. You state you are making 8.20 an hour. Do you not receive tips also?

The busier the restaurant is the faster the day should go. Unless you are watching the clock.

So here is my suggestion.

Stop watching the clock, Keep moving and pre busing tables and taking care of your customers and tables. Possibly go to your boss and ask them if they are dissatisfied with your work? If they say they are not than ask them if they can please stop yelling at you as you get enough demanding from the customers. That you are doing your job the best that you can. Or as a final resolution give two weeks notice and find somewhere else to work.
