is the diner failing?

after 19 months at "the diner" i begin to worry. day after day, i see less customers, other servers being harrassed by the so called "managment". i was ill yesterday, had to call out sick, and found i could have been fired by the 15 year old daughter who had to come in at 6 am to cover my shift. mind you there are 7 or 8 tables between that early morning hour.
when i am fortunate enough to be busy at that early hour, i can take care of a counter six booths, toast my bread, make 2 urns of coffee toast rye,wheat and white clean pitchers of syrup, set tables, carry trays, get coffee for the cooks, etc etc etc.
and now i have to possibley be fired by a 15 year old who was told to be in "the diner" at such an early our. venting venting yes.
the economy is wearing me out, the "diner" becomes more absurd, i am having hard thoughts about things like.......the health department, OSHA--haha what a joke neither of these entities have visited my place of work...
just a waitress, but this circus of chaos has me by the short hairs.
what next?
