Would you guys consider 2hr30ish mins notice for a shift too short of notice?

Hey there, I’m asking my question because I had to try and find coverage for a shift 2hr and 30ish mins before start time on this fine Sunday morning and I feel bad about it. I’m a manager at a retail store and Sunday’s we’re only open for 5 hours so I’ll do the whole day and then one of our part time staff do a 3 hour shift.

I told him not to worry about it and to get some rest. I texted another one of the part time staff members and asked if they could come in on short notice for a 12:45-3:45 shift, or even…

I texted another one of the part time staff members and asked if they could come in on short notice for a 12:45-3:45 shift, or even 1-4 if the little bit extra time worked better. They said it was fine and isn’t a problem but idk I feel kinda bad about it; I think mostly because when I was in that spot I’d be choked myself if I got a text Sunday morning to come in for a shift that afternoon lol, but wanted to get everyone else’s opinions on this. Thanks.
