Your "Screw You, I Quit!" Stories

[Mockingjay]

My first job. I was cleaning rooms at a hotel (I was 14) and I was working with a 87 year old woman, who was suprisingly fit for her age and looked more like she was in her 70s. Anyway, after doing exactly what I was told the woman came up to me, told me it was wrong, slapped my arm and started crying. I was like... Okay, time to go...

Woah what a *****! Getting places for girls is exactly the same as for boys, and by no means is it a mandatory thing. £70 is alot of money, and of course its your choice wether you go or not. What county do you go to cadets in? Your DC sounds like a twat.

Haha she is an absolute twat. And I'm in England. Our CCF is actually joined on to a boys high school so girls are rare, I can understand that it would've been nice to have girls at the annual camp too, but I just don't have the money or time! Especially as it meant taking a week out of college to go.

I haven't quit my job, but I did walk out on a customer and never served again. I work at a chippy doing all the cleaning and stuff at the back, plus the potato prep in the morning. Anyways we were running low on staff so my boss thought it would be a good idea to have me serve rather than hire someone else. I hate serving people because everyone is an arrogant whiny bastard when they are on the customer side of a counter, but I did it anyway. I first got into trouble for telling a chav to fuck off, luckily when no other customers were in the shop. I then stopped doing it altogether when some retard couldnt get his order right and blamed me despite the fact that I had repeatedly told him his food was offered as a special and he refused it, only to moan at me when I charged him the regular price. I just handed him off to the lass on counter saying "Sort him" and didn't come out again.

Well, I've managed to hold on to my mind while my dad was frustrating the Hell outta me...
And I had a huge monkey wrench in hand.

He's lucky it wasn't a crowbar.

Really, though, I'm to afraid to burn bridges to pull something like that.

I started my first and only job at a movie theatre when I was 14, and my boss had me cleaning up till 11 PM on school nights. I didn't seem to mind, besides the fact that I worked holidays (Christmas Eve, Thanksgiving, New Years Eve) when I was still in Junior High School.

Then I had to tell friends and family not to eat the popcorn, since I found out we bagged it and used it the next day. We didn't throw it out and make a fresh batch for around a week.

Then my boss tried to get me to admit my friend (and fellow employee) was stealing money when she wasn't.

Yelling at me for not doing things I wasn't taught how to do, dropping grades, working 7 days a week since there was only 3 of us, and pressure from my Mom was too much for my 14 year old mentality. Exhausted, I called in while they were getting ready for the busiest day of the week and quit.

My boss seemed to realize what he'd done. He ran after me begging apologies, offering raises. I finally took his offer, but the writing was on the wall for me. I got out of that place about a month later, after giving proper notice and securing a new job doing what I wanted to do in the first place: ride and train. But what a rotten experience. I was there for a year, took one day off in that whole time, and was basically undervalued and underappreciated.

I hate it when people beg like that..... I find it immature. sounds like a rough experience for you. Also what happened to your sister? Is she better???

Thankfully mys sister was fine. The situation with her husband was also resolved. It turned out not to be an affair, but a major depression he was going through. Tough times for everyone. That was...something like three almost four years ago now, so it's been in the past long enough for everyone to have moved on.

And as for my boss...yeah, it made my respect for him drop quite a bit. He was a 40 year old man begging his recent high-school grad employee to stay on. Like I said, though, I really believe he had a few screws loose.

Most people i know who has been working paper routes as kids (13-14 years old) have sooner or later ended up just stuffing the papers down a trashbin on their last day(s)
cause they figured out how much the payment sucked, so they quit and was told that they had to work for another week or more before they could quit.

I would have just payed the $1.50 out of my own pocket.

I can't speak for what my mother would have thought about pitching in from her own pocket, but it would be a cold day in Hell before I covered a customers bill just to balance the books.

Another good story I remember happened back when I worked in a kitchen as a short order cook. It was tradition, in our restaurant, to "slime" out going employees. We'd usually tie them down to a chair in the back and proceed to cover them with whatever goopy substance we could find in the walk-in. The one time that sticks out in my mind more than the others, was when Kai told Stephanie how it was. Some background for you folks: Kai would have been about 19 at the time. He was a cocky smart ass in the fun kinda way, and we all got along with him fine. He was leaving to return to school so there was no burnt bridges there... yet. Stepahanie was one of the front of house managers. Coked out, mean, and past her prime, there wasn't a lot of love for her in the kitchen. So picture a scene where a prep hall full of young men are laughing as one of their own has marinara sauce, maple syrup and flour dumped over his head, and unbeknownst to us, Stephanie is cleaning up the staff bathroom. See where this is going? Well the fun ends and Kai heads to the bathroom to wash up making a disgusting mess in the process. He walks out smiling handing out goodbyes and handshakes when we hear the harpy scream come from the back. Stephanie storms out with lightning in her eyes and screams out, "Who the fuck, did that to the bathroom?" Everyone immediately looks down and away not willing to give up the culprit when he gives up himself. "I did and since I just quit, I don't give a flying fuck. Cya *****." That was the single solitary time I ever saw someone talk to her that way, and it was marvelous.

I took a cue from a story I read from Mario Batali about when he quit working for Marco Pierre White. I was so fed up with the way my guys and I were being treated by a chef at one of the kitchens I worked at that when I'd had enough, I waited until his back was turned and tossed two giant handfuls of salt into his hollandaise and into his beurre-blanc of the day, grabbed my knives and walked off the line. If you cook, you probably know the kind of insult this is. If not, it's one of the biggest eff yous you could give a chef.

i worked as a baker / caterer for my first job. i was doing a catering for a doctors office for about 20 people. when i gave them the bill they asked "is the tip included on here?" i said no, they handed me the money and i left. before heading back to work i wnted to see what kind of tip i would be getting (everyone working that day gets a share of the tip) the total for the bill was $110, the grand total was $112.50. so i ended up getting 50 cents as a tip for that. this happend on many occasions. almost all of them were from people that make over $70,000 a year.
