What usually happens when at a Low TLM Mass ,usually weekdays, no servers show up??? What happens??? Who does the responses,bells etc???? Can someone tell me what happens and or what had you seen personally?
A member of the congregation, even a woman (if there's no man able to do so) may make the responses and ring the bell (from outside the sanctuary).

So am I... the only thing is that sometimes servers don't have their surplice and cassocks.
547. - VI. Mass servers 1. A priest must have a server to assist him at Mass and answer the prayers.This is a grave obligation. Necessity excuses, e.g., Mass of obligation for either priest or people, Mass to confect Viaticuм, or if the server leaves after the beginning of Mass and does not return. - One is more readily allowed to say Mass with a server who does not know the prayers. - If the server answers the prayers badly, the priest should answer himself if he can do so without becoming confused. - Indults permitting a priest to say Mass without a server now include a clause requiring the presence of someone to assist at the Mass.2. No woman or girl may serve Mass. An exception is made when no man or boy is available and a just reason is had. In no case may the woman serve at the altar; she may only answer the prayers at a distance.A Sister may do this even though the Mass is said devotionis causa in a convent chapel; although this would be venially sinful if a man or boy were available. - It would be a grave sin, however, for any woman to serve at the altar.

I really don't think so. No, I also think it is an abuse. I agree with Ladislaus.
