Did I do the right thing ?

I arranged to do some volunteer work in the Salvation army shop.I went along today as arranged from 1-4pm. The woman in charge did not appear until 1.45.
I said hello and she said they had too many staff today and I could leave it. We were supposed to arrange other days etc for me to go in, she did not attempt to speak to me again.
I was totally confused by it all and did not say any thing more about it and just left.

That is very bad, I did volunteering in our local Salvation Army shop. My experience could not be any different. I was welcomed with open arms, unfortunately it has now been closed. Please don't let this put you off volunteering.
