When I confronted the manager she told me that I "obviously don't need the hours based off of the purchases I make" I tried to explain to her that the only other vehicle I have is a car shared between me and my girlfriend and that this motorcycle is my transportation, and that I decided to go with a motorcycle because compared to a car it was cheap.
