I was written up recently for a bogus reason. It's a store policy that if you bring a bag in, you have to have it checked by a manager before you leave. I complied, met my mother, walked out and got in the car with her, and went straight home. Never left her sight, never went back into the store that night. That was Saturday. The following Monday, I had just offered to take up some extra hours over my Thanksgiving break to free up a friend of mine that wanted to visit relatives in Connecticut. After we solidified that, the HR manager (different from the one who checked my bag) told me to punch in, then sprang on me that Manager 1, the one that checked my bag, wrote me up for having come back into the store and leaving without getting it checked again.
I objected completely, and for what it was worth, wrote down said objection and defense on the inch-and-a-half they give you on those forms. But ever since, my hours were cut and cut until I have had none. My mother is all kinds of pissed as she was there and vouches for me.

Do they not like working around your hours (given that you're a student)?

I don't think so. I told the HR manager that I can work 5 to 9 on Tuesday to Thursday, 5 to closing (11:30) on Friday, and any stretch of time between noon and closing on Saturday. And that I'm marginally flexible on that. The only real demand I ever made was that I don't work Sundays. Period. I think that for a student, that's pretty flexible.
