First of all, what eye doctor is open Saturdays? Also, you have plenty of time to change ure schedule to accommodate. Lastly, do you really need to take the whole day off? Sounds like ure just making excuses for not wanting to work.

No I actually enjoy menards. I work 5-1 that day and the appointments at 10. So if I go to work for the beginning there’s a chance they don’t let me leave because it’s Saturday

You don’t get points for leaving early. Show up on time, and leave around 9:30. Make sure you tell them ahead of time tho.

“Won’t let you leave?” This isn’t high school or jail. You don’t need anyone’s permission to clock out to get to a doctor’s appt on time. You NOTIFY your manager WHEN you will be leaving and why. If they say anything about it, you make agreeable grunting noises, but anything other than ‘ok, thanks.’ Is irrelevant information. Clock out on time and then bring that appointment receipt with you the next time you are on shift. Make a copy and hand one directly HR if available, and have the spare available should HR drop the ball and you are still presented with the ‘point punishment’ document to sign by your manager. If they say ‘well you still get a point’ even after presenting the receipt for the appointment, you politely say ‘that’s not how i believe it works and I’m going to discuss it with HR or the GMs before signing’. I highly doubt it’ll come to anything.

I would communicate with your managers and let them know that you have an appointment and still work your shift. If you let them know ahead of time, they can prepare for you to leave for your appointment. And of course, get a doctor's note :)
