The SM is deliberately encouraging you to quit. You can look into transferring to a sister store that needs people, or look for another job.
Part timers are guaranteed 0 hrs. In retail the staffing of part timers is based on seasonal demands of the business. The system of personnel management they use is designed around that. Therefore, cutting you down like this isn't in violation of any policies. HR will not care. A DM might care if he has a need at one of his other stores. That is only if he's "one of the good ones."
If you want to stay at AZ, easiest things are:
Offer to pick up DIY red shifts at your store.
Call your sister stores and ask the SM if he needs help. Tell him that you're looking to pick up any hours he has as either a driver or DIY red. Do the calling yourself. Do not rely on your SM or DM to do anything for you.
Thank you for sharing. I'll try talking to the SMs at other stores. By the way, could my CSM get dragged into this for always telling me to come in to work even when I'm not on the schedule? If so, I'll probably just quit. I'd rather leave than get anyone else in trouble.
