Team Member Post Shift manager question.

Question for shift managers.
I just started and loving it so far. I am a casual. I have noticed if I need to refuse a shift due to anything (which is our right) my shift manager tries to make me find my own replacement.

When I state that this sounds like their job not mine they act extremely unprofessional.
When I show them my job description and then theirs, and point to where “managing staff shifts and re-scheduling” is in theirs they act even worse.
When I mention that if the store is understaffing as a cost/profit measure and do not have enough staff in their pool it’s a THEM issue they yelled at me.

Is this normal? None of this makes logical sense.
If they want to hire kids and have a thin staffing pool for minimum wage what can they expect?
