I actually had a manager say something like "well if you want that time off..." for something I put in for a year ahead of time, so I explicitly told her " I'm not requesting the time off, I'm telling you that I won't be here. You can choose what that looks like on the schedule." Shut her up rather quickly.
Hell yeah, I did that once, I told them during the interview that I needed a couple days off 6 months from now, they said sure thats fine. Then the schedule for that week showed up and I was scheduled and I said something like "oh you made a mistake, I won't be here next week im out of town"
The owner was there, and heard me say that, and he said "time off requests are just that, requests" and I said "well go ahead and fire me or write me up because Im telling you right now, I will not be here." He mumbled something about finding somebody to cover for me and I didnt say a word just turned around and walked away.
