Help. How Do I Quit My Job?

Get some balls. Have some courtesy to approach the employer and tell him/her, straight up, that the job isn't what you were looking for. They aren't going to chain you down or something. It's better than disappearing or not letting them know. If you can't face little things like this, how are you going to handle bigger issues in life.
Then be a fucking man and go talk to your supervisor and tell him you want to quit.xps_m1210 said:
Sweet Jesus - people ask for the dumbest advice on these boards. How do I quit my minimum wage job? Really?
It's really not that complicated. You tell them you no longer want to work there, they tell you to leave. It's Sam's Club - it's not like you're not replacable. Hell, I'm willing to bet your supervisor couldn't pick you out of a lineup that was comprised of you, a circus clown and a duck.
Grow some balls and do what you know needs to be done.
I can help. I am an Asian Employment lawyer. If you are Asian, then I can help.
If you are not Asian, unfortunately you are on your own.
I can help you, because I am knowledgeable and have significant resources at my firm to sue anybody.
I hope that clarifies that not only am I Asian, I am helpful.

Something no one else has keyed in on is whether or not you plan/want to use this job as a reference. I'm assuming not since you were there for so little time.
When do you want to quit? If you're ready to end immediately, just go in and tell them you're leaving but you'll work out the remainder of the schedule if they like (that's the professional thing to do). I'm assuming the schedule is set for one or two weeks at a time. If it's longer, then just give one or two weeks.
If you're prepared to leave immediately, then be prepared for them to say goodbye and leave it at that. It's a retail job so I doubt they'll makea big fuss about it.
If you want them as an employment reference, you have to tread more carefully.

LOL dude, that is PRICELESS...loltoolioiep said:
That's even better than the one healey used during the leaf's game tonight:
He couldn't give a rat's rectum...LOL
Just call them on the phone and tell them this job is not for you... please mail cheque to your address or arrange to pick it up when it's ready. Why go all the way there unless you have a pass card or something that belongs to them. It's no big deal. Happens all the time. Heck I've quit jobs before like this without even phoning them or any thing. Just showed up on pay day and got my cheque. Said thank you have a nice day goodbye. That's it. It's not like you have to include this on your resume or they are going to follow you around the rest of your life giving you a bad reference or anything. Two days after you are gone they will have forgot that you even exsisted.
There's another option... if you want to have some evil fun.
See how much you can do things 'wrong' before you get canned.
Turn it into a social experiment.
For example, if you stock the shelves, have the French side facing out.
If you have to mop a floor, don't use fresh water, use the water already in the bucket from the last time it was used. If the manager notices, take the 'duuhhh, I didn't know that' retard approach.
Or you can try hitting on the customers and/or fellow employees.
Doing this stuff will either get you want you want (to get canned) or you'll scare the shit out of everyone that they'll be afraid to fire you, which may lead to it becoming oddly enjoyable.
Something to think about anyway.

To the best of my knowledge you aren't legally required to give them any notice. However, morally it is good to offer them at least a week or two to allow them to cover the hole your leaving may cause. Don't forget, if you leave suddenly, other employees may be forced to suddenly change their plans to cover your hours. Wouldn't you like to have some notice if it was you in their shoes?
As for the actual quitting, write a letter that says basically "I'm sorry, but this job is not working out for me, so consider this my letter of resignation. If you need me, I can continue working until <date>." Then it is up to the company as to whether they retain you for those extra days or not. While they may not be happy to have to start looking for a replacement, your willingness to help mitigate your leaving will be a plus in keeping good relations should you need to come back there for a job in the future, or even just as a reference.
Just my two cents worth.

Thanks Ms. Croft.MissCroft said:
You are the only intelligent person here.
Looking forward to seeing you again soon.
What are you implying? That I am not Asian?Frosty said:
How dare you accuse me of being something I am not.
I have been a member of this board for about two weeks now and have a great deal of credibility.
Of course I am Asian.
