As a Franchise Attorney I can the answer is most likely no. Shortages are the responsibility of the employer, unless it can prove a specific individual guilty. And that would take a legal proceeding. The shift manager should report what's going on to your local employment development or labor department. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
