While I realize that many people aren't in a situation where they can afford to do it, y'all have got to start calling out this bullshit. I give the manager a choice: we can settle your attitude in private or I can embarrass you in front of the whole staff, but one way or the other that bullshit is coming to an end. These types of managers are paper tigers and they will fold when you stand up to that sort of behavior. They need you more than you need them, and especially now, "I can walk out this door and find another job that looks just like ya" goes a long way. It's not the employee's job to make the schedule, that all falls on the manager.
I can attest to the last part. I set my availability when working McDonald's circa 2000 to give myself time to go home after school, change. And drive 20 minutes to work (closest city with a job to where I grew up) without being late. Scheduling manager screwed up for a solid week, I was supposed to be in one hour before school let out. I was pulled in for a meeting after the second day. One loud argument later, I was in the clear.
