Odd behavior

What the hell was I thinking with this name?  To be honest, I have no idea, nor will I pretend that I do.  I do know, however, that I may get fired within the next month or two.  My current employment stay is at Wal-Mart and my so called managers are such asses that there no end to their uncharitable ways. We've gotten a lot of snow lately and are unable to drive to work due to the ice, therefore I was instructed by my lovely managers to call the Call-In line should I not be able to make it to work.  So I called in this morning and got my "confirmation number" and the automated system transferred me to the Wal-Mart I work at. To give you an idea, here's how the call goes this morning:

Me: Hey, can I speak to a member of management.
Fitting Room: Sure thing, one moment.
[RINGING]
Manager I: Hello this is ****** how can I help you?
Me: Hey ****** this is ***** I can't get out of my road this morning, it's still ice.
Manager I: Hang on one second.
Manager II: Hello this is ****** how can I help you?
Me: Hey this is **** I'm going to have to call in today, I can't get out.
Manager II: Well *****(me) I've been told that we can no longer accept call-ins due to weather.  This will be unexcused.
Me: Why would it be unexcused? I followed your instructions for a weather call-in?
Manager II: Well it's not my problem, I can't do anything.
Me: Well I'll tell you what, how about I take a picture of my road and send it to the home office along with your name?

The conversation went down hill from there.... Now I wouldn't have been so hot about this situation, but I'm already borderline from being fired from my job due to attendance, previous issues with scheduling that is!  This brings me to the issue at hand, I wonder what the hell these managers are thinking, is it miscommunication between themselves?  Is it lazyness? Or is it simply the inability to care about your employees?  Either way, I don't care anymore, I have since applied to Radio Shack, where I feel more at home, more electronics after all!
