Food Service

What should I do about this problem?
I plan on going to work today .. and work
but what about for the schedule.
Should I tell her that I can not work Sat's? I told my dad about this and he said I should just leave it alone because I am in the probation period and I might get fired.
But I can not help that I cant work Sat's. I mean I have school all day.
So what would be the professional way to handle this situation?

Ok so I've had a part time job for quite a while, almost 10 months..
Well, in the last week or two, I've been going through a lot, ending a relationship, being under a lot of pressure in school...
So last week I must have forgot the schedule, because at 10pm tonight I saw a missed call and I returned it and they said I was supposed to work at 630 and never showed up! I apologized profusely, and they said it was ok(although i think i still got written up) but I feel HORRIBLE. I've never not shown up, and I am not that type of person.

What do I say to explain to them that I really didn't mean it and is this a somewhat normal mistake? I mean, I'm not the only person to do this ever, right : / ?

I want a resume that's believable. I have the experience but not the present work history.

I have an interview next week for being a busperson/dishwasher and I was wondering what does it entail and does it pay like waiters/tresses get paid ($3 an hr) or would it be a more practical wage?

I'm curious what the policy is in the majority of American restaurants these days. Is it more common for waiters & waitresses to "pool" all their tips so that all the staff can share in the amount equally? Or is it more common for the waitstaff to be allowed to personally keep whatever tips they earn?

I think the most fair & equitable method is allowing everyone to keep the tips they earn. There are no hard feelings that way, and everyone gets to earn the tips they DESERVE -- iif you give great service with a great attitude, you get more tips! If not, you don't. Simple as that! :)

I've even heard that there's a higher turnover rate in restaurants where waitstaff are forced to share their tips with each other, because too many hard feelings & conflicts happen, due to the slackers in the staff "sponging" off the hard workers and sharing in undeserved tip money. That would definitely suck. :(

I'd love to hear from anyone who works (or has worked) in the restaurant industry. Thanks!!

I am extremely unhappy and my workplace. I love the actualy job but I NO longer care for my boss. He used to be really nice but he has developed an attitude lately. It is only the two of us...he runs the shop and I do all the office work. So I'm currently looking for another job. A few people have told me to do waitressing but if i did that i would only be able to do day shifts because I have a child and would need daycare. I have never done it before and it would be a big risk for me. I have bills to pay and am scared to leave my job that I know i will recieve a set pay check. What do you guys think I should do?

I had put in an application for a job and I went to an interview with the head boss and I got the job and I was suppose to come back in wednesday for my schedule and to bring all my documents. I start friday. So the manager (not the head boss) called me today to come in wednesday but she said for an interview. I'm thinking maybe she made a mistake or do I actually need to be interviewed twice. Because when you come in with documents and get uniforms I though it was called an orentation or training. So my question is .. has anyone applied for a job and had to get interviewed twice ?

Hi
my son is 17 and is studying professional cookery this year at college!
he has already done an introductory year.
He is a little worried as he has always found the academic side if things hard!!
He passed his level one and is now starting NVQ2 (today)
Im sure he will be fine but what happens if he can't cope so well with the written work/exams?
does this mean he will not be able to become a chef even though he has gained a merit (level one) for aspiring chef/

thankyou

Ok, I just got hired 2 weeks ago at this place, Zpizza. It wasn't my first choice, but I just needed a job and my friend got a job there so I applied and got hired.

Well, I applied for this other place a month ago, Harris Teeter, but I didn't get hired. It was my first choice since it pays better and I get more hours. Well on thursday I was there since I delivered some pizza over there, chatted them up, and they offered me a job.

Should I leave my current job? This new job would pay an extra $2.50/hour ($9.50/hour vs $7/hour). Also, I like my current job, but I'm only getting 15 hours a week and my friend who works there is driving me ABSOLUTELY INSANE. She is way too bossy and she isn't even above me in rankings. We have the same position.

Would it look bad to quit after 2 weeks? If you think I should quit, what should I tell my managers when I put in my 2 weeks notics.

I am working part-time at a horrible car dealership. Every employee there is miserable and underpaid. GOOD people have been fired left and right, and no one knows when the ax will drop on them. When I took the job, I was told it would be part-time then full-time, with part-time around 20 hours a week. The girl who was leaving changed her mind, so I have had nothing but 10-14 hours a week. The job is horrible, I am expected to do far too many things than one person is humanly capable of, I am underpaid, and I am miserable.

I as offered a great full-time job in a field I know I love, and was asked to start in a week and a half. I am just out of college, so I'd really like to one last week of summer and "childhood" before I have to be an adult.

My question is, how can I quit this job? Is it completely wrong to just say "I quit" and walk out? I really don't care about references. I just want out.

I kno that its discourteous not to give two weeks notice but I quit a job when I was 17 years old (im now 19) at a clothing store working part time. Me and the manager were very close but I had to end up getting another job because i was making minimum wage and only getting 6-12 hours a week, and plus I was about to start school full time. The stress of 2 jobs was too much for me so I quit my job at the clothing store without giving notice....The manager that was there when i was there doesnt work there anymore and i want to go back and apply for a job...do you think i have a chance of getting rehired?
**No rude commentz please**

♥ Thanx to everyone who took time out to read and answer my question.....

I currently work at McDonalds and today made my 5th or 6th day working. I was at the front counter today taking order's and toward the end of my shift, I'm responsible for restocking the counter so that the next shift would have enough condiments and what not. So as I was doing this, my manager was on my register taking an order. The 2 customers (a man and woman) ordered a meal that included a drink and 2 snack wraps that doesn't include a drink (which they wrongly assumed;especially the man). So I come back from the stock room and he asks me for his "2" medium cups, but his reciept only said he purchased 1 medium drink. I didn't take the order, so I assumed my manager didn't put in their second drink. I asked, "Did you order a second drink with your meal?" Then he asks, "The big question here is, why do you give a damn?" I ignored the uncalled for comment and tried to explain that the drink that was ordered was in his hand which came with the meal...

I work in a deli at an Italian food market. There is a russian lady who works there too there and she is so rude to me. She will purposely watch me do something to point out what I'm doing wrong. I've been there long enough to know what I'm doing now but she still continues to criticize me and talk about me behind my back to other people! And I haven't even done anything to her!! What should I do? I don't wanna quit because of ONE lady but my boss won't listen. He thinks shes a hardworker and doesn't wanna get involved. Please help.
