It doesn't matter the reason this person wanted off. Many fast food and retail operations, including many other companies, require an open schedule. Regardless of their reasoning, if you can't adhere to the rules they set forth, they are not required to give you the job. Don't worry though, the right parties will get involved, this idiot will get a large settlement, so he doesn't have to work again. It's all propaganda.
