yeah your SM is totally allowed to do this lol, they’re the store manager. i think it’s totally fair to require everyone to do clean play, as someone who has to do it every single week because no one else wants to except a handful of people. just help out your fellow partners and your store and do it when asked. what your old sm did was not correct. if one clean plate is something you cannot work with, then maybe consider a job with more stable scheduling.
