can't say you don't want to work, but you can say oh sorry its my day off so I've already had 3 mimosa's (or beers) while laying in the sun getting a tan for the last hour. their response will tell you a lot about who you're working for and how they really feel about you.
Yeah, and the other side should be a lot more to the point about it too. "Hey, we are short-handed tonight, so if you are available to come in on your night off, we'll give you time-and-a-half, even if it's just a couple of hours." I get that text message, I would strongly consider coming in, because they clearly know it's a favor, not an expectation.
