What do I say?

I'm going to dollar general tomorrow to buy some tp and some other stuff. I work at this store, supposedly. My boss hasn't had me come in for weeks because hours were cut. I was(am?) part time working 14 hours a week cause that's all he would give me. I'm thinking while I'm at the store tomorrow I'll talk to him if he isn't busy. I know under certain circumstances I can get partial unemployment so I don't want to get fired. I think quiting also disqualifies you from unemployment. I'm looking for a new job it's just hard in this state. I've posted this before but no one helps me out soooo what do I say? I'm awkward and shy, but I need to talk to him. I think he can't afford to have me work, but doesn't want to fire me
