Work Messed Up the Schedule and Now it is My Fault

So for some more information I am (M19) and I am a full time college student. I also work part time at my campus gym as a facilities attendant for minimum wage ($13 an hour in my state). My job has this system where our schedules are posted. In the system we can also add, drop and trade shifts. Well for weeks our schedules have been up there and they had me working an opening shift this Sunday which is Easter so the gym was gonna be closed. With all this in mind I figured it was safe to go home which is two hours away to see my family for Easter weekend. Let me REMIND you that this schedule has been up for over a month.

Well today my supervisor emails me stating that they messed up the schedule and now I’m working an opening Saturday. He didn’t just mess up mine but everyone’s schedule. I am going home in an hour and this was very last second. He had over a month to notice it and fix it but didn’t. I am not gonna drive two hours back and forth to work a minimum wage job that messed up my schedule.

Now I am scrambling last second to find someone to cover for me. This job has been a pain since the beginning I am constantly working so hard for them because my coworkers do the absolute bare minimum and honestly I should too. I have had patrons call me names on shift, shit thrown at me, weights dropped on my foot and even had to mop up sweat off the floor. I just wanted to see my family for Easter as I have been having a rough semester. I don’t know Do you think I’m valid not showing up? I am writing from a burner account btw because last time I voiced my opinion by my job I was silenced.
