Here’s how the restaurant I work at fucked me over. How would you handle this?

I work for a corporate Italian restaurant as a line cook. (It’s probably the first one that came to mind.) I’ve been with them for 3 years, and have moved around a bit and this is my third store now. They are by far the worst store I have worked in. What happened tonight is just one explanation of why. I was scheduled to work Saturday (today) morning and Sunday morning. A coworker had something to come up after the schedule came out, and asked me if I could cover him. I told him Idk, because I work Sunday morning. Another coworker overheard us, and said he would take my Sunday morning shift. Great! We even got it cleared by the managers. So now I just work open to close on Saturday and Sunday off.

I told him Idk, because I work Sunday morning. Another coworker overheard us, and said he would take my Sunday morning shift. Great! We even got it cleared by the managers. So now I just work open to close on Saturday and Sunday off. At 10pm tonight, a manager approached me and told me that I still had to come in at 8am tomorrow because they need me. I asked to leave early then, because I live an hour away (I live in the middle of nowhere and the nearest town with more than 800 people is an hour away so not many job options) and they already had 3 other closers on the line plus me. Usually theres only 3. They told me “sorry but you’re the one who decided to pick up his shift.” So now after working open to close, I have to open again tomorrow.
Debating on if I should just quit and not show up tomorrow. I just got home and have to be up in 5 hours. I still have to eat, shower and do laundry since I was planning to do it tomorrow and now dont have clean clothes. Wearing something “similar” isn’t an option as theyve already threaten to write me up because one time I didnt wear the right colored pants.
