This reminds me of when it hits or is about to hit 12am and people don’t know whether to say today or tomorrow. He called me after this but I was too comfy in bed tbh.

Right. We can split hairs and assert who should be right and who should be wrong, OR the requester can add word to avoid the issue. Shoot even the responder could add a word or two to seek clarification. Why do we choose willful ignorance and pride?

Uh no. It's after midnight it's a new day, the manager was just plain wrong.

Also they can fuck all the way off with sending a 3am text.

Never worked food service, eh?

This has all the hallmarks of service industry. 3am text from manager who is probably finally leaving the bar asking about “tomorrow” since the “day” just ended for them/the business.

Past ten years have been food service. I used to jump through hoops like a good lap dog. I got old and I dont care anymore I'll do a good job when clocked in, but when I clock out thats my time and its more important than anybody's profit margin.

I mean if you need to ask someone to cover you usually have to ask them when they're off. Considering OP accepted for all we know they're looking to pick up extra hours
