Do you ever hate calling in just because you know you have to deal with their whining? Management at this job of mine knew about my new availability for 3 weeks now and they still scheduled me hours that I cant work anymore (shifting priority over to my real job) They didnt see that as a reasonable excuse, and I quote "you were with us first". 
Don't get me wrong, I like working for Target: Girls  My issue is being an [censored] enough to pretty much tell them "No, you scheduled wrong, I can't come in", effectively screwing them over.
Like I said, if I could work the shift I would, but they are so hard edged about their own mistakes that it'd be my fault for not showing up. Any suggestions? I don't want to burn bridges, but it would feel so damn good I am tempted to do it anyways!

if you gave them prior notice of your intent to cut down on hours, and gave them a schedule of hours you can work, then you did what you needed to do, and if they scheduled you for those hours, they are retarded. bring it again to their attention about how you told them you were cutting down, and you can't work certain days/hours.

Bill you need to remember that a company doesn't want to be a second to someone else, I would expect as much from Target. I am sure they don't like the fact that you have another job, as like I said as far as they are concerned they should be it. It might be an attempt to get you in trouble so they have a reason to let you go, but who know as this has happened to my gf before when she was working two different retail jobs. it stupid no matter how you cut it

I would agree with last post. Be nice and also firm as you don't want to burn bridges and you want to get work out of them.
Good luck!

I agree with Brapple. Especially a big company like target, they dont want to be second to anyone else. If you dont show or call off the shifts you cant work, i'm sure you would be fired at either job. in that case you'd have to weigh consequences and decide which job to stick with. or try reasoning with one or the other, some managers are reasonable, so find one of your managers that will understand.
Its stupid the fact that these large companies do realize that their employees have needs. Don't want to dive into Marx, but they kind of exploit their labor force for their own gain. If it were possible to outsource retail/cashier/stock boy/truck diver jobs they would....

However walmart is forcing there part timers to get other jobs. Alot of Walmart employees are part time during the school year, whether they are students of teachers. This year Walmart corporate isn't letting there part timers go full time during the summer months. Walmart is basically holding everyone to less than 33 hours. In return they are trying to hire more part time employees.

I have seen that as a tend recently, alot of stores do not want any full time employees as when this is the case they don't have to pay for benifits and the like, mostly the managers are full time and everyone else is full time.
but that still doesn't negate the fact that a company wants an employee to themselves and not to share time with another company.
I think it is a really low move to schedule a person when they have already told them that they can't work those times ...
