Person 1 books of the 20th to the 24th off of work for the first camping trip with her parents in forever. She does this three weeks in advance so there is NO POSSIBLE way she won't get it

I am so familiar with this kind of bs from my retail days. The only advice I can give you is to keep your cool. If you get the call saying "Yeah, sorry, we've decided in 2's favour and you have to come in", but say "I'm really sorry, but I'm not going to be in town those days." Don't go into who booked when where (and who isn't doing their job right if they didn't know that you had booked your time off first). I got really good at saying "Yeah, sorry, I'm heading into a movie so I can't talk long, but no I'm not coming in kthanksbye".
*hugs* Ugh. I'll keep my fingers crossed that TPTB sort this shit out.
TPTB come in the form of my union, who after 5 years of taking union dues from my paycheck each week have FINALLY done something for me. I made a compromise--I work on the 20th to help 'Person 2' out, and I get to go.
My union rep took ten minutes to sort this whole thing out---She's like wonder woman except with shorter hair. :D And less-patriotic Bikinis.
