What to do

A little background: I work in a breakfast restaurant one day a week right now (weekday) and pick up shifts on the weekend as needed. I am in school and also taking care of a small child. I covered a shift this weekend and the owner of the restaurant was there. I usually don’t see her as I don’t work on the weekends. So I’m working this Sunday and it is extremely busy, I’m getting sat multiple tables at a time and really in the weeds. I asked the hostess to give a large table to another server and I continued with the ones I had. I was finally caught and and my boss just started taking tables from me. I tried to explain I was caught up, and ready to take on more tables but was shot down. I was inside making coffee drinks and I overheard the owner…

I asked the hostess to give a large table to another server and I continued with the ones I had. I was finally caught and and my boss just started taking tables from me. I tried to explain I was caught up, and ready to take on more tables but was shot down. I was inside making coffee drinks and I overheard the owner pointing to me and telling customers and co-workers “I’m just watching this shit show over here.” While pointing to me. I felt so discouraged. All I did was ask for help with one table. It created a very uncomfortable day for me and I feel very disrespected by the owner and co-workers. I can get a restaurant job anywhere right now and I’m in school for something I can get a job in right away. I plan on doing a no call no show to my shift this week but I have never done this and still feel wrong. Should I give notice or just say F it? I’ve worked as a server for almost 20 years and know the business. I feel like especially these days I shouldn’t have been spoken to like that.
