Holiday Day Inn doesn’t like you to sleep

So I applied at this Holiday Inn. Found the job on Glass door it posted 30 days or so ago. Decided to apply because it was a quick application. Got a call back asking for me to come in for an interview. They emailed me the information which was nice of them. They added in the some of the scheduled shifts. Here is a copy and paste. “We have you scheduled for Wednesday @ 1pm for the interview. Please stop in at the desk, ask for an application and after filling it out, the interview will be done with No name. Please call if anything changes prior. Please note that this position is a shift position working 3-11pm shifts, and it requires working Friday 3-11pm, Saturday 3-11pm and Sunday 7-12noon.” Less then eight hours between two shifts?

Less then eight hours between two shifts? Come on that's no way to treat anyone. No wonder they can't find anyone.

My response.

“Thank you for taking the time out to call me. After careful consideration I regret to say I am no longer interested in the position as the hours currently stand. I have no problem working shifts but an eight hour gap between two shifts isn't a good way to treat any employee. If this is negotiable or changeable please let me know.”

Got a short reply back

“Thank Greg, best of luck. I'll cancel your appointment.”

It really feels like they know people wanting a decent nights sleep is what is stopping them from finding suitable candidates. You would think they would work on that… But nah treat your employees like robots.
