My manager told me I needed to come in 15 minutes before we close to help them close

I'm scheduled to come in at 3:45pm Friday-Monday and I'm part time and go about 29 hours. I work both host and busser at a restaurant chain. We close at 4pm today because of the super bowl so I slept in. Go on about my day and I receive a text from my manager saying I'm scheduled to come in. Why? I either have to uber 4 miles which is around $15 from work to home or home to work, or walk 4 miles. I have 1 vehicle and that my Step-dad uses for work and he works all day Friday-Sunday. Why should I have to come in for 15 minutes when I don't even get paid enough to work 15 minutes. I'm not coming in when I won't make that much in 15 minutes. Prior to us closing Saturday night the bussers asked if they needed to come in…

Prior to us closing Saturday night the bussers asked if they needed to come in since it's only gonna be for 15 minutes. The busser who's been there for 6 years stated that he isn't coming in and another busser asked if he can come in an hour early.

I've been working there for almost a year and I'm about to be working as a server when I'm 18. I'll be scheduled as a host, busser, and server and I haven't met a single person there that works that many positions. Am I in the wrong for not coming in for 15 minutes or should I have come in despite me making that much in 2 hours?
