Thank you all for your replies. Most of my co-workers and many of my customers are BAFFLED by this, and a few are quite angry, some do not patronize the restaurant anymore, but most are unwilling at this point I think, to say anything. It is a bit embarrassing when the customers ask why I am not working full time again(they are assuming I am not well enough). For now, I guess my only option is to continue on two shifts a week until I know what upcoming health issues I will have this spring. I do need to think about my health insurance, which right now my employer is paying for. When the time comes for me to leave, I will certainly speak up and let them know how I feel, and how their customers felt about it. Very sweetly, of course. I am not known for my 'meanness'.
