Takes 1 second to stack it right

Ive been working here for ten months.

Is it worth going for the year here or should i just move on ya think ?

People keep telling me it will get better and than it gets worse.

I work in the deli. Were always shorthanded and cutt off for hours.

Its like hunger games in real life.

Im at my wits end...

Have an interview at mod pizza like 5 blocks from my house friday

Literally a ten minute walk.

Worked there when i was younger and heard the tips have gotten better and the pay.. at least the ones here in portland/ milwuakie are always busy.

And on the 1.473rd day, Rodney looked back and said, "It was BAD...."

Title: Safeway approved my days off over a month ago, but now my manager wants me to work them. Can they do this?
Hi everyone, I work at Safeway on the night crew, and I’m honestly extremely frustrated with what’s happening at my store. I’d really appreciate some advice.
On September 20, I requested October 30 and 31 off through the My Schedule app, using my floating holiday and anniversary day because I have a family trip planned. Both days were approved in the app.
Everything was fine until October 18, when the coworker who works with me on the night crew was involved in a car accident and got injured.
Because of this emergency, I agreed to help the store by working on October 23 and 25, which were originally my scheduled days off. I wanted to be understanding and help out because I knew we were short-staffed.
However, today, October 27, my manager posted the new schedule and decided to schedule me to work on October 30 and 31, even though those days had already been approved off.
I tried contacting my manager, but he rarely answers calls or messages. So I spoke with the assistant manager, who told me that even if my days off were approved in the app, the manager isn’t obligated to honor them. He also said they were already counting on me to work that weekend.
Seriously? What’s the point of requesting time off in advance and getting approval if management can just ignore it whenever they want?
To make things even worse, if they force me to work Friday and Saturday, I’ll end up working 13 consecutive days without a single day off.
I’m honestly at the point where I’m considering quitting. I feel like I’m being punished for helping the store during an emergency. I gave up two of my regular days off to support them, and now they expect me to cancel a family trip that I planned over a month ago.
My questions are:
Can a Safeway manager cancel previously approved floating holiday and anniversary days?
Does our UFCW union contract protect approved time off?
Should I contact my union representative or file a grievance?
What would you do in my situation?
I’m in California and work at a unionized Safeway store.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I’m just exhausted by how unfair this situation feels.

I wish I could draw.....

It was NEVER even about that....

Good thing it went South....

Every Safeway in the world doesn’t even ask me for my ID. They just ask me for my birthdate. Sometimes they don’t even ask for my birthday. They’ll just put in whatever, but I found a Safeway that was really tricky

YOU HAVE TO KNOW THIS IS NOT WORKING.

Ugh. Sorry for caps, just can't search for anything on the website. For months. I can't load in portions of the weekly ad most of the time, I can't search for common items anyone would had, and when I try to click the filters it has zero items. No results, are you kidding me? This website barely functions and you tie it to all your coupons and discounts and data collection, what are you even doing?

Side note, disabled, my room mate gets what I put on a list, I cannot make a list with "0 results found for basic item".
