True - I'd suggest applying anyway, and discussing with whoever the area manager is what kind of minimum shift allocation you'd be getting. If it'll be similar to JSA or whatever then I'd be inclined to take it, because I know from experience that's a miserable existence.
As for skipping shifts, I don't know - probably comes down to your manager, again. I just text the guy if I can't make one for any reason and haven't heard anything back about it, but we're fairly overstaffed here. Just remember that if you're not on shift you're not earning, and cycling in the rain isn't really that bad.
