'I don't know how to bring up these things': Teenage worker keeps getting scheduled to work when she's not available, seeks advice about confronting boss

Lots of people start working between the ages of 14 to 17, depending on which US state you live in. That's the age when you can finally get your working papers, and join in with your cool friends who have jobs. Then you start a minimum wage shift and it's rough! You start to wonder why you were so eager to start working in the first place. 

This teen has a common problem with holding a job while you're still in high school: the scheduling is insanity. As she writes, she's had to change her schedule a three times in six months. But the OP's boss has continually messed up the schedule and put this woman down for shifts that she can't work, meaning the OP has to switch with other employees to make things work. The OP is now quite frustrated, and asked r/AmItheA**hole what to do about her boss's constant errors. 

Next, take a bite of these odd and adventurous food dishes.
