Vent: The Saturday brunch shift that nearly broke me

Last Saturday we had 87 covers by noon and only two guys on the line. One of my line cooks called in sick at 6 AM and the new kid dropped a full sheet tray of hollandaise on the floor at 9:30. I had to remake 4 quarts mid-rush while still firing eggs and answering expo calls. But the weird part is the money was actually decent, we did $4,200 in sales before 2 PM. Has anyone else had a shift where everything went wrong but the tips still saved the day?

Questioning if a Saturday brunch shift that made you $4,200 by 2pm nearly broke you though? Tbh that sounds like a pretty standard chaotic day with a nice payout.
