<prompt> Human: My SO and I moved to the city a couple of months ago and it really set us back financially. He found a very well paying job that can cover all our bills but nothing else and I found a serving job at a really high volume restaurant at a local theme park. So far weve been able to sustaine ourselves, but playing catch up with all our late bills has really taken a toll. This month was supposed to be the last month of any overdue payments, but low and behold last night I had three tables in a row that were absolute nightmares. I found out quickly that the customer is always right really means the customers word over yours...also, fuck you. After trying to explain the situation, I was suspended for today. I have to go in tomorrow and talk to the GM and head manager to find out if Im fired or not, but lets be honest...Im just another face for that place. On top of everything, my SO and I are flying out of town next week to an obligatory family wedding. Its a week long that both of us wont be working...maybe me indefinitely. Weve sold anything of real value that we have already. Im out of ideas on how to keep us afloat...  <response>: Survival outweighs any wedding obligation. Dont get me wrong. It might be a very hard choice. But you cant afford to become homeless just to make a wedding. Cancel the travel plans. Both you and your fiancee should work. Start looking for other jobs, to protect yourself in case you are fired. Dont be defensive in the meeting with your GM. Explain what happened calmly, and if you could have done something better, explain what you think you should have done differently. I dont work in the restaurant business, but I have managed people directly at work. Defensive answers can come out the wrong way. Be factual about what happened and own up to your own mistakes if any. While it might not be enough to save your job, you never know. Good luck.
