My very first job at 16 was at McDonalds and I quit that one on the spot one day, but it wasn’t like a dramatic walkout or anything. I’d just been working there for about a month, liked my coworkers and didn’t mind being on the fryers. This being high school, I was volunteering a ton as well and had cleared volunteering at a race with my shift lead the week prior at work & she told me she’d take me off the schedule that day. Of course, as it goes, she forgot to and when I saw it the night before, she wasn’t in so I was like “I’ll call tomorrow when I leave school”.
Call as I’m walking out of class and she picks up.
“Hey, just double checking that you know I’m not coming in, like we discussed a week ago? I’m volunteering at the race later today. Saw last night I was still on the schedule…”
Of course she claimed we never had this conversation and that since I was on the schedule, I needed to come in or else I could come & get my last check next week.
“B-but I’m volunteering and I told you…” I said before she repeated herself and I just snapped “Fine I’ll come and get my last check next week. Goodbye.” and hung up.
