Scheduled outside of availability

The last year I’ve worked at a restaurant as a server. The last 8 months my schedule was consistent and had me working Thursday and Friday night and Saturday and Sunday morning. Im the only guy server and none of the female servers like me for a reason that is not my fault at all, (Older lady asked me to sleep with her daughter and I declined as I have a girlfriend and young son). Ever since this happened it’s been nothing but downhill and half the ladies hate me and the other half really like me because I’m our strongest server, great overall employee, and a nice guy. Anyways, the half of the servers who hate me convinced my boss to get me taken off morning weekend shifts, I work at a breakfast place so that’s our busiest shifts where we make the best money.

The last year I’ve worked at a restaurant as a server. The last 8 months my schedule was consistent and had me working Thursday and Friday night and Saturday and Sunday morning. Im the only guy server and none of the female servers like me for a reason that is not my fault at all, (Older lady asked me to sleep with her daughter and I declined as I have a girlfriend and young son). Ever since this happened it’s been nothing but downhill and half the ladies hate me and the other half really like me because I’m our strongest server, great overall employee, and a nice guy. Anyways, the half of the servers who hate me convinced my boss to get me taken off morning weekend shifts, I work at a breakfast place so that’s our busiest shifts where we make the best money. When this happened, they moved me to Saturday and Sunday at noon rather than morning where I made less than half what I made before. I decided it was a gift from God and was telling me to move on with my career so i went and got an internship for what my area of study is, (current college student). The internship is a 9-5 which means I couldn’t work Thursday and Friday at the restaurant anymore and wasn’t going to bend over backwards for a place who didn’t value me as an employee. I then changed my schedule to just Saturday and Sunday at noon hoping that would stay consistent for me. Due to the toxic work environment and poor management, they lost almost all their night servers. Now they’re trying to get me to work outside of my availability, (4pm until close) which I told them simply can not happen because when they took my weekend morning shifts away, that forced me to get a second job but they’re telling me they won’t change that and that they have no servers, what do i do? I don’t wanna quit because the extra income from the weekends is great for my family and helps pay for necessities outside of bills such as groceries, clothes, diapers, etc. how do i respond to this? Do i just have them keep me scheduled and not show up and see if they fire me? Is that legal? Im trying to work with them and tell them I can work from 12-4 but can’t work from 4-close simply because of my other job which wouldn’t have been a problem if they would’ve never tried being revengeful or whatever they were seeking as my boss is best friends with the lady server that tried having me solicit her daughter. They pretty much screwed themselves because they would’ve been guaranteed two night shifts covered and possibly a few additional night shifts if they would’ve tried to stay on good terms with me and keep me on their weekend morning shifts.
