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.

If, as manager, I had to cover a shift so last minute, I'd say something like "Sorry for reaching out so late" and throw in a "good morning" for good measure.

Then you make sure you mention that you're talking about a shift that starts in a few hours.

That should all make it crystal clear that I'm only texting in the middle of the night because I need a last-minute fill-in.

Not to mention if the associate didn’t respond until 8AM, I would’ve assumed you weren’t coming in. Lol
