I read your post and I understand your concerns, however, I didn't have to read your post in order to respond to your question. The answer is always the same in these situations.
Nomatter what you're doing, how little you like your coworkers or how much the job makes you want to burn your place of employment to the ground, the answer never changes. That answer is, and always is: Not until you find another job.
The reasoning behind this is simple: You need money, and money doesn't come for free. You have no idea how long it might take to find another job. Last but certainly not least, it is always much easier to find work when you already have a job. Being able to write that you are currently employed on your resume/CV is always a huge bonus, and potential employers much prefer to employ people who're coming from one job to another, rather than people who may have to re-adjust to working life.
Glad to hear you found another job already, though.

This right here....i quit my job before i had another one...yeah it was a weekend thing...easy but a pain in the ass...and iwas out of a job for about a year...find a job first then drop this "boss"...oh and report her every step of the way...just because you cankhaimera said:
I would have to agree with your parents, look for a job now, for at least 2 weeks, see whats out there and what you can get. Maybe you'll find something. As much as we all hate to say it, money does rule the world, and without, you lack a lot. So, I would suggest try and stay for a little longer, or at very least work there as long as you can, but instead of doing what you normally do, just work as if your boss isn't there. Do what you do and what your asked normally, but if your boss yells, or asks something more than they should of you, just don't do it, walk away, etc. Worst Case Scenario, you get fired from the job you were gonna quit, and maybe had a little fun with the way you left.

The above is excellent advice. Start looking for another job TODAY.khaimera said:
First, look for a job. After you find one, make your boss's life a living hell, to the point she has to fire you.
You know, crap in the toilet an dont flush, write her phone number in the stalls of wallmart toilets promicing felatio to the first 100 callers, fill out paper work upsidedown.
And then, when she asks why your doing all this, point out shes a raging, socially inept b*tch who needs to get laid.
Sorry, im bringing my past experiances into this. I had a boss who was a b*tch beyond all recognition. I filled her car with a mix of lime jello ((which she hates)) and burgerking garbage ((which my friend was kind enough to secure me)). Put her in her place good.

Well... First looking fo another job might be agood idea. But telling your boss your mind can be VERY satisying. I myself did quit a job i loathed before (and before i had another one... i was stuck jobless for about a year after that)... but overall:
Doing something you feel you SHOULDN'T be doing just fucks you up.
Oh and as a tip: many "higher-ups" don't think about you as a real person. It is hard to change them... or to enrage them by telling them off or quitting. Maybe he just need some other monkeys to do the job.
Oh and yeah: Going to HIS boss and telling him that yours is doing a bad job, especially with morale might work. (Depending on how much they like each other)

Too big for your magazine? Are you by any chance Russian?
Anyway, there's other ways to solve this problem. Talk to the boss, gather everyone with the same position and talk to her. Start a pitchfork and torch rebellion. File more complaints.

Get the phone number of your head office or local area manager and ask for a representative to come round and speak to you and explain the situation to them and hopefully things will get sorted out for you.
The most probable you got a new boss was because the last station she worked at did what I have suggested and when they transfered her to your station they were hoping she might have understood why she was moved but it seems she didn't get the message.
TL/DR
Complain to her boss till something gets done!

If you're working at a gas station, I recommend studying at university, getting a Ph.D and starting an orthodontist's clinic.

Ok so since some people requested a "report" from me here it is.
Yesterday as this topic shows I finally decided to quit my job and get as far away as humanly possible from the wretched hag of a boss I used to have.
Indeed I would quickly need a new job and I found it about 10 minutes after creating this topic
. I called my friend/old boss (yes indeed) and asked him if he would maybe want me to return to my old job. He was literally ecstatic about that, I didn't know he respected the work I was doing for him so much. After I explained to him the reason of my "switch back" to the old job he offered me an instant pay rise which basically means I will earn about 25% more than I did at the gas station (and money was the only reason I went there) AND that's about two times what I was earning at that old-now-new job I have =). AND I get a company car
.After hearing all this from him I instantly went to my now old work and asked everyone to gather around because I have something important to announce (I asked the boss to come too OFC).
When everyone came around I walked up to my "used to be" boss, grabbed her hand. Looked her in the eyes, smiled and said:
"You're pathetic, I quit"... and than I left! With a hurricane of clapping hands behind me! it was fantastic! I feel fully rejuvenated and full of life! I feel like I can eat rocks and crap out mountains! I FEEL EPIC!
Once again! Thank you to everyone who commented on this topic!
And I'm terribly sorry for my horrible grammar and overall chaos in this "report" thingie. I'm just so excited
definetly look for a new job 1st, as you don't know for sure how long you may go without till you find a new one. I personally say stick at it, all jobs have managers who are dicks, but at the end of the day your getting money and it's not like you have to socialise with your boss.
i agree with what a lot of others have said, find another job first before quitting. and then start yelling at her at how bad she is at her job
OR if there is anyone with a higher position than her (someone you could complain to about her and if its as bad as you say other employees will help you) then id do that.
