I work at a small cafe inside a hotel in the front. My duties are making coffee, light cooking and using the register. I work in California so the job is strictly 5-6 hours, no overtime ever. And Cali is super expensive so I don't rely just on this job.
At the beginning I liked it and I was working with this girl who seemed that she quit today. (Didn't show up)
The place is a hit or miss, sometimes is super busy, sometimes is not. So the girl I was working with started complaining how we don't get enough tips from having 3 of us total now. I knew sooner or later she was gonna get another job and yeah didn't show up today.
Meanwhile she didn't come Friday and it was super busy and I had my other coworker bitching. I can't do 3 things at once, run the register, make 4-5 lattes and throw sandwiches or make avocado toasts at once. They think I am slow but I think it takes time to do all of that too.
And some people don't even tip, especially tourists. I have tourists spending $65+ with 0 tip even if you provide with everything they need.
