I remember when we were suppose to have five staff members on our floor; we only had two for the long morning and a third came at 12:00 pm. It was a very long and hard morning. I just hoped that nothing would happen on the floor when I worked that day and nothing did happen. Everything went very smooth. My co-worker and I worked out a plan and we decided since there were two of us that I would serve the meals and she would get the coffee. I would also check the door to make sure that nobody walked out of the the building. As long as you work out a plan, everything should be OK and take it easy as well. Good luck to you.
