Should i take off

I posted this to AITA, but someone told me y’all would have some wisdom for me So, just to preface this, i am 18f who was hired to -company- halfway through my senior year. Upon my hiring I informed them “hey, this year and this summer is going to have a lot of days i can’t work due to prepaid church events, required school events, and required college events. They told me that was fine and that they would be able to work around that schedule. I also put in my two weeks yesterday due to my college schedule not working with this job’s operating hours. Fast forward to tonight. I worked a closing shift tonight, and during my break i saw that i was scheduled for tomorrow.

So, just to preface this, i am 18f who was hired to -company- halfway through my senior year. Upon my hiring I informed them “hey, this year and this summer is going to have a lot of days i can’t work due to prepaid church events, required school events, and required college events. They told me that was fine and that they would be able to work around that schedule.

I also put in my two weeks yesterday due to my college schedule not working with this job’s operating hours.

Fast forward to tonight. I worked a closing shift tonight, and during my break i saw that i was scheduled for tomorrow. I requested tomorrow off weeks ago an orientation for a program at my college that is required for me to attend. That request was approved, and I had noticed that i had been scheduled for this day last week, and had already called the scheduling manager about me being unable to work, and she said she would fix it. She didn’t fix it, so i decided i would let my manager know that i was scheduled but I wasn’t supposed to be and it was supposed to be fixed.

I talk to the manager after my shift, right before i clock out.

M – manager, OP – me

op: hey, i already told hiring manager that the schedule got messed up, but i’m not supposed to be scheduled tomorrow, i have a required college orientation.

M: well you have to work.

Op: i can’t. I requested off.

M; Well you request off too much, and i don’t know of any college having stuff on a sunday. (Note, i am already meant to have all sundays off due to church, but they keep screwing up my availability)

Op: well, i do. And i was supposed to have this day off.

M: well you’ll have to work or take a point. I’m trying to run a business here, what am I supposed to do without you?

I just clocked out and left at that point, i was embarrassed that she would insinuate that i was just trying to get off work, when i was willing to show her the email that proved that i really do have an orientation. I also have only called off work 2 times while i’ve worked there, once the day i got surgery on my face (couldnt be rescheduled) and once when i fell and dislocated my knee. And i always have proof for everything i request off, and i only request off for stuff that i absolutely have to.

My parent say i should call off my last 4 shifts because there is no reason i should get treated like that for their mistake, and i’m worried that that manager will try and ruin my chances of getting this position on campus (because they call my old places of work) but i’m also scared she’ll ruin my life these last 4 shifts just because she can. (If i get fired this other girl said they can hold my paycheck)
