Dude, just quit if you can't put up a half decent front for 2 weeks. I've been having killer stress headaches and my two weeks have been total shit for everyone. If the store wasn't run so badly that 50% of the employees quit, I'd have just asked for less hours. A bad reference is a bad reference and come internship time, people aren't really going to be banking on some shitty retail job too much. This won't be on your resume after your internship anyways.
I gave a two weeks notice and regret it so very much. The store lied to me about hours, practices, and promotion opportunities before hiring me, then proceeded to pay me late and just be a complete mess with my papers as well as call me up daily to take tiny 2-3 hour shifts because the schedule was a mess.
After 5 months, I decided that I didn't care enough to go to the store another day, but I was dumb enough to submit a two weeks notice. I just wanted to build my resume a little so I decided that a two weeks would be the best option.
Quite plainly, I was wrong. I have 5 more days on the notice and I contemplate just walking. I've been doing plainly unacceptable things (what do I care, the store's practices are plainly unacceptable and being there for 8 hours at a time is a complete waste of my time) and just leaving work early or showing up late depending on interviews.
I will not be getting a good reference from this company and don't think putting a shitty retail job on my resume would do much good. I'm supposed to show up close to opening time tomorrow morning, but I will need to show up late if I'm to get a decent sleep. If I don't get a decent night's rest I will show up cranky and be a fuckhole to all the customers because I care nothing about my job.
I've just zoned out, and being the highest ranked employee in the store for upwards of 8 hours at a time, it's just a mess. I feel bad for the cashiers basically doing my job while I sit in the photo booth waiting to go home. I've gotten into verbal altercation with customers, cussed at customers, locked the doors on customers trying to come in last minute, taken double lunches, etc.
The manager scheduled me for way too many hours because 50% of the employees quit. I've been cussing at customers for a week now. This will never be a good reference and I just put myself through shit for no reason. If you're going to no-show, you're going to be in the same boat as me.
