Ok, but again I was never told I needed to call in and check first. Also to call in I needed to wait 15 minutes after I was already scheduled start working, before anyone would answer the phones. So basically I figured when in doubt the best thing to do was
show up for my shift! I mean they can fire me for any reason within 3 months, so how do I know they wouldn't fire me for being 20 minutes late that day, if I wanted to call in and they said they needed me.
