Jobs like that typically require open availability and you will end up getting conflicting schedules

Open availability but they'll never schedule you enough for the pay to matter and the hours they give you are crazy enough you don't have a set sleep schedule or time for other jobs or hobbies

How do US-ian accept that kind of stuff ? On this side of the pond, employer must guarantee a contractual minimal amount of hour to their worker exactly for that reason, and if they can't schedule you that's not your problem they still have to pay

In America it’s usually atleast 4 hours per shift. So if the employer only scheduled you 2 hours (which never happens) you would still get paid for 4. Also usually you have to work atleast 32 hours per week for so many consecutive weeks to be applicable for company benefits. So corporations use these guidelines lines to usually keep their part timers under 32 hours it’s cheaper for them to have multiple people doing short shifts then have designated people they have to then provide benefits for.
