Tomorrow will be my third shift at a very trendy restaurant where there is a hundred people desiring to work there. But it just does'nt quite "click" with me if you know what I mean, I think retail would be better for me. How do I quite (never done it before, all temp work) without looking like a weak quitter, I would feel so bad knowing that I've spent hours of their time training me then I quite...what would your impression of me be if I did that and gave you two weeks notice? Maybe I should wait until my three months "probation" is up and tell them "I've got a feel for the job with you for the last three months, and feel the job is not quite right for me, and I will finish the shifts you have scheduled me for". The job pays more then any other job I could get...but still.
I can't just not show up...they need my help. |

I get the impression you feel so bad that quitting in person might not be feasible.
Option: call your manager several hours before your next shift and say, "Things just aren't working out. I'm sorry. I can work today, but it will be best for me if today is my last day. It was a positive experience working with you, and I leave with no hard feelings. Thank you very much." Be sure to leave on a positive note, but don't worry. It is a job with extremely high turnover, and managers do not take it personally. Not only is waiting not for everyone, but not every job is right for everyone. Best of luck! |

You must be frank, go to your supervisor and tell him/her
that this job is not fitted for you and you are quitting your job effective tomorrow. |

Hi Ryan,
My advice is to be upfront with the manager. Let him/her know what you told us, that it is not "clicking" for you. If you are still in training they might not need 2 weeks notice. You can talk face to face and work something out so you don't feel like you are leaving them hanging, but still feel good about yourself. No one wants to work at a job that they really don't want to be at. I know as a manager I would rather have honesty face to face than a "no call, no show." That is a bad idea. This is your reputation and you want to leave on a positive note. Good luck. |

Just give them a signed notice of resignation. I know that someone did that when he was in training and they allowed him to go. Don't keep on holding the job holding a grudge as you will walk out or no show no call sooner or later.

If you don't fit, just go in and give notice.
Not everyone is cut out for this business. |
