I’ve been scheduled solo and I’m really stressed out, I need advice to keep calm and fast.

So, I am cafe worker at my local hospital, and management has “accidently” scheduled me to work solo today. Which means I’m the only person running the entire weekend cafe, which consists of a Starbucks, deli, hotmeal line (whatever hot meal they’re serving today), and cash register from 9:30 am to 6:30 pm.

I have no help, no back up, I’m the only person here, and I will be dealing with every rush today alone and I will have to juggle all of these stations by myself.

I’m really anxious and agitated, I’m shaking, I need to calm down before I snap at some poor guest who’s family member just died or what have you. If this wasn’t a hospital, I wouldn’t be so concerned with trying to calm down. Any advice is appreciated.
