I would answer and then just tell them no. Now that I got promoted I might consider coming in if they really needed me since there's only like 8 of us that can do it vs. 30 cashiers or whatever could do my old job. But just by setting down the pattern of not coming in I know if they were to call it'd be because it was the last resort.

Also I never tell them why. I figure I don't owe a part time job a reason why I can't drop everything and come in. Honestly I think it earned me some respect points with my manager. I do my job well and if they need to switch around shifts a day or two in advance, that's fine as long as it doesn't conflict with prior school/doctor commitments.

one of things you have to remember is mistakes about an order isn't very important in the scope of life itself and there's a such thing as nartural margin of error

Yea but they wanna bitch at you when you make a mistake so it's a lose lose.
I even worked through my breaks to get my quota but I still couldn't please those fuckers.
But that was 2nd shift...they loved me on thirds and didn't want me to leave because I was one of the best workers there.

sounds like a bad job, you're better off

there are jobs where they don't act like mistakes are the end of the world and have a positive approach to employee feedback. i don't understand these places that think a whip is going to motivate anyone worth two tugs of a dead dog's dick

mostly what happens is they wind up with stupid, cowering people who never say anything and then the bigwigs are like 'why aren't we getting any critical thinking from our workforce?' because you scared the shit out of them, idiots

Worked until 8pm and have to come back at 6am.

The fuck is this shit?
And I have to work with the manager in training who's a total bitch and is going to be a terrible manager because she can't keep calm. If everything isn't just right she starts getting all panicky and when you do that it makes your dumb employees all panicky and I just want to be like "Just chill the fuck out who even cares this is sandwich making not fucking NASA"

And she's one of those people who doesn't seem to realize how abrasive her personality is. She doesn't mean it, but everyone in the Deli walks away from her coughing "Whatabitch" into their sleeve

Yea and I think they knew I wasn't scared of them...
I knew I was doing a good job, even above average, but I guess they wanted quantity over quallity and that's not me so fuck 'em.

Bro, I've been there done that. I worked at Kmart and I had to be there almost every Sunday at 5am. Sometimes I would have to be there on Saturday until 9pm and come in the next morning at 5am.
And it's like a 30 minute drive for me so I'm waking up at like 330 0r 4 to get ready.
Still, it was a better experience than the warehouse job.

It has to be 3 because as far as I know you're 20 and into post punk and being a guy then it's a given you're horny.

Idk. I have this fantasy of forming this post-punk band here in SD with a sort of Cali surf rock edge (ala Pixies) and just walking shirtless on the beach with black skinny jeans all of us skinny and pale sporting wild haircuts our bassist being a chick with pink hair and sunglasses.
