Not allowed to be tired? Am I being dramatic?

Today I was scheduled a lot earlier than normal, which is fine but overall I was a bit tired and I guess it showed. This is after several weeks of good work, such as surpassing my sales goal for the day a few times. Counting today, I’ve only had two “bad” days at work after being at this place for half a year.

Same thing happened today. My first few hours on shift were apparently sooooo bad that everyone felt disappointed by me, it doesn’t matter how hard I worked previous shifts, my hours are once again threatened. Then she says “how can I help this not happen again” like I specifically plan days to be tired at work. Even the phrasing confuses me, it’s not like something happened I was just sort of tired because I had to wake up four hours earlier than I normally do, I even wrote on my availability sheet that I prefer closing shifts because I don’t work well in the morning.

I’m confused. Am I supposed to just never be tired at work? I tried bringing up the schedule at that bs meeting but my manager said the computer does the scheduling randomly to “make it fair” and she doesn’t control it.
