Rather than “we’re short staffed tonight,” maybe try “Hey, want to pick up a shift tonight?” The passive aggressive tone kills me lol
Nothing wrong with asking someone if they want to work, but you’ve gotta be ok if they say no when they’re not scheduled
The reason the manager didn’t do that is because this is a screenshot of a fake conversation.

Well, its real because I was the manager!
But then who was phone?

we’re short staffed
Sucks to be you. (Unless I really like you.)
The proper thought to have when an employer says they’re short staffed is “Why didn’t you hire enough people?” not “Gee, I should chip in!”
“If you have time to text me you have time to work”
Youre a manager. manage to get your ass in there
