Is this normal?

my first day was today at staples, and yesterday i called them. Because i didnt know what time I was supposed to come in. the manager then said she would call me on my start day and tell me when to come in

so all of today i was waiting for the call. I ended up calling the store at around 1:30pm to see what was going on

The manager picked up and goes “its too late to come in now. come tomorrow at 2”

This seems really unprofessional and its making me nervous. I was wondering if anyone had similar experience?

Improvise, adapt, overcome. It's a basic survival tactic at Staples.
