No place of employment can force you to work. They have to give you a reasonable amount of notice and you have to okay it before working it. I mean you even have school so they should be accommodating you not the other way around. And if they are under staffed then they need to hire more people. They'd be able to fill any spot with in a few days if they were really trying. Just sounds like a whole lot of bs if they are under staffed. Your only part time so they either need to start giving you full time benefits ( if there are any ) and paying you as a full time employee. I've worked at a few places that payed part time works just min. wage and full time got about 2-3 dollars more.
