I’m gonna be honest, I don’t see the problem here. You put in your 2 weeks notice, your manager posted the schedule (granted it was very late, but I hear scheduling is difficult these days), your last day is a day earlier than you expected (an easy 4 hour shift no less). Why’d you poke the bear and ask if you SM wanted you to work more?
Just work what you got scheduled for and say no to extra hours if you don’t want them.

I wanted it communicated to me what was going on. It’s not cool of anyone to come to an agreement with someone then do whatever you want anyway. She told me the 4:30-8:30am was a filler shift and wasn’t intended to be worked. She said again she MIGHT need me. So I don’t know what to do here because i’m NOT scheduled next week.

If you aren’t scheduled then you aren’t scheduled. What’s she gonna do if you don’t show up? Fire you? Lol

that’s what i’m saying!! And i don’t feel guilty about the SM, it’s more the partners who i’ve come to really like over the years. It just sucks because I wanted to be able to plan my next week without screwing over the team.

You're within your rights to deny any hours they 'might' need you to work because you're not scheduled for them.
Your schedule says you're done on that last scheduled shift. I'd call that your last day.

She told me the 4:30-8:30 is a filler shift and not intended to actually be worked. So my two weeks is the 13th but I guess I’m not scheduled for anything next week.

You now have the power here. Since your SM says they MIGHT need you to work that filler shift but doesn't yet know, you can now say "I need to know for sure if you need me by no later than Saturday end of day, otherwise I will assume you don't need me for that shift and my last day will be (official shift prior to that)."
Otherwise, you can treat that shift as an official one because it's in TeamWorks. You can always decide to work that shift because it's in your schedule, then maybe stay later to help run breaks during Peak if it's needed.

My advice is to consider your fellow partners. That 430am spot is tough on the team when people don't show up, and it sounds like from your post, the main issue here is the SM, not the partners. The end of your time at Starbucks may not play out the way you were expecting, but I think the considerate thing to do would be to show up for the shift you were scheduled. If she asks you to work outside of what you're scheduled, it is entirely up to you and you would absolutely be justified to decline.

I have never and would never call out. There are 3 other openers on Monday and I would be the 3rd on Tuesday. She also told me the 4:30-8:30am was a “fake” shift and I don’t actually have to come in UNLESS she needs me (which she doesn’t know yet)

She might have faked you in cuz she thinks you're going to bail and not show up?
