boss sais i cant quit?!

Cant believe nobody has mentioned this if you quit on a friday by just ringing up and saying quit they dont have to pay you for any of that week.

You won't get a positive job recommendation for future employment applications, but aside from that, you'll have no negative consequences for missing work.

Then I was called like 3 or 4 hours later and was told that they "really needed me" and I "had to come in right away". Since this was around 8pm and i had plans (and was doing them lol), I questioned the supervisor extensively over the phone to make sure that he really did need me. Sure enough, I get there and the place is dead. All my coworkers are like "why are you here?" and I was like "(supervisor) called me and said you needed me." Their response? "Dude it's been totally dead all night!!"

arghhhh im still angry just thinking about it. fast food- never again.

I've fucked over a lot of employers behaving the same way you do. The last job I quit because I had stolen some cigarettes from behind the register. And as you would imagine, it is difficult to work someplace when you're awaiting the loss prevention supervisor to come interrogate you about the missing smokes. I was guilty and it was obvious so I quit. If I would have done anything different I would have had more self-control. I blame the whole staff when the true culprit was myself. I was responsible for the crime, and although I didn't fess up I did manage to get away before cash was deducted from my check. The point is, don't set yourself up for failure.
