Antiwork

My boss asked me today to come into work in my day off (tomorrow) and scolded me when I said i was already busy

I work as a retail assistant: no emergency job, nobody is dying for me not going to work. Tomorrow was supposed to be my day off, but today the store manager asked me to come tomorrow afternoon for a 4h shift. I said I already had other commitments of medical nature (and that's true, I have my therapist appointment among other things) and she vehemently scolded me, since my flexibility was the most important quality they were looking for in a candidate. She also diminished my examples of me being flexible and changing my shifts with really little to none forewarning. To be noted, They hired me on the spot because they were desperate and short-staffed, around Christmas time, so they really needed me. I'm pissed and the more I think about our conversation the angrier I become. I eventually agreed to go for 3 hours after my therapy appointment…

I'm pissed and the more I think about our conversation the angrier I become.

I eventually agreed to go for 3 hours after my therapy appointment in order to not leave my colleagues alone (I'm easily guilt trapped), but I don't really know if I should just talk to her or going to the human resources.

My contract will terminate in 2 weeks so I don't have a lot to lose, unless they want to reconfirm me.
But I don't know how much I want to work there if I'm being treated like this.
