Go in a little early tonight and approach your boss before you clock in. Ask if you can have a word with him privately. Explain to him that you only planned for this to be a summer job, and that school starts back in 2 weeks. Tell him you have a lot to do on a personal level to get ready for school, which you did not previously expect, and that you'd like to give notice tonight. Also ask him if there is any way he can make some schedule adjustments, to give you as much time off as possible before your final day. Tell him that if he is in a pinch, and simply can't find anyone else to work that you will fill in his gaps, but really don't want to work anymore than he absolutely has to have you after tonight.
He may say just go ahead and go, without working tonight. Or he may ask you to work only tonight, until he can get the schedule redone. Either way he will appreciate your honesty and you will be more fair to him and the customers in giving them a chance to rework the schedule before you bail. You will also need to use him as a reference for your next job next summer, and want him to say nice things about you so that you can get hired somewhere else. Don't burn any bridges. |

Defiantly go for the two weeks notice. That way if you are in a jam and really need a job in the future you can always go back there for your brief time of need till you find something else. Then for those two weeks look for another job. |

Just tell your manager that you want to quit....!
That really simple what the big deal ? |

Well go up to your boss and say, "Mr. Boss, I would like to say that, first, this is a great job and I have had much fun and learned a lot about the job experience. But, this job is not fulfilling my needs and I have school that is starting up soon, so I need to be studying (yeah right) and I need to quit." Then you should probably come up with an ending that is better and more complete. |

Do NOT quit by telephone. That's the coward's way out. And don't tell any lies, either. Simply go in to your job tonight, and give them a weeks notice. Tell the truth......tell them that school is starting in two weeks and you need to concentrate on your school work and not be working while school is in session.
It's never too early to begin using mature habits. DON'T burn bridges. Even if you think you will never return to that place of emolument, you never know what circumstances could lead to you having to apply with Target stores sometime in the future. Always leave on a positive note, and try not to piss anybody off in the process. |

Just remember that you are putting others in a bad situation. Someone else, maybe someone who really needs the job, will have to pick up you shifts and miss plans they have made. You should give them two weeks but if that is more than you should handle you should at least work out the posted Sch for the week. Good Luck |

Sorry sweetie. Time to grow up. You may need to find a job environment better suited to your taste - but missing the days of sleeping in and being unemployed is a great formula used by starving homeless people. Remember why you got a job to begin with. Do you need money? Start looking for things you like instead of the things you don't like. Sounds like you need to do a personal evaluation. |

Go in on your off day and give a two week notice. Likely they will tell you don't have to stay two weeks but it's best to do it in a professional manner so as not to burn bridges. You never know, you may need that job one day in the future. |

Giving a two week notice is always good, but sometimes if you dislike something so much there's no other option than to quit. If I were you I would just go to my manager tell him this job isn't working out for you and since school is starting soon you're afraid it will interfere with your school schedule. Just tell him that you quit. Nothing to it especially since you're not going to make a career there. |

You are going to have a rough go in the world of employment with your poor attitude. They took time to hire you and to train you and now you are going to waste their resources with your "I don't care" attitude which demonstrates a very poor work ethic. They cannot force you to finish out the two weeks but you could be mature enough and adult enough to honor your commitment instead of being such a self-centered little whiner. Just saying you want to get back to the lovely days of unemployment shows you for what you are: a slacker. Just don't suck up everyone else's tax dollars while you go waste your life away. Target will be fortunate to be rid of you as will your coworkers. |

It's a part time job. Don't puss out and call in your resignation. Work the shift tonight, but at the start, inform your supervisor that you have decided to quit the job immediately but are willing to finish out tonight.
You need not give a reason. |

Be respectful of your employer when you quit and be honest. Tell them that you've realized this isn't what you imagined it to be, and realizing your heart wouldn't be in it, it would be best for both parties if you were to go separate ways. Don't take vacation (you probably haven't even earned it yet), don't lie, don't make excuses. If they were to fire you, they would tell you straight out why.
As far as notice, it would be polite to at least give one of your scheduled shifts so the manager will have a chance to call in someone else and make some changes, and they may say it is best you go home (returning you to the unemployment you value so much).
I know you don't plan on making this a career, but believe me it is a small world and I've run into situations where I'm working with many of the same people again. It is better that they remember you as someone who is respectful and honest, and you will value that as part of your character. |

You can call your supervisor and tell him that it is not "working out" he may or may not ask you why. have a quick answer for him like you have decided to dedicate yourself to preparing for school and taking care of an elderly grandparent that has suddenly become ill. He shouldn't go any further than that because it is none of his business. Anyway, they deal with people quitting ALL the time (with no warning) at places like Target. He is used to it so don't sweat it. Just be polite, say sorry. Say today is your last day or even tomorrow. Give him enough time to prepare your last check or else they will haveto mail it to you. |

Frankly, you aren't going to be using this job as a reference on future applications, you haven't worked there long enough to bother. So, if you want to quit, just go ahead and quit. However, this is not a 'good' way to start your work history, some things to consider:
- Giving proper notice is the 'right thing to do'. Consider that you are making other peoples' lives harder because 'you don't feel like working', including people who don't have a choice like you do.
- You don't want this job now, but you might need to work at Target sometime in the future. Having a bad report on your work record might impact your ability to work there again. We don't always get to 'choose' our jobs, the day may come when you have to take whatever you can get. Why burn bridges?
- If you are scheduled for the next 5 days, that is $$$. You will want that money once school starts up (hanging out with friends, buying clothes for school, etc).
- If you give notice, there is a chance they will pull you off the schedule anyway. |

No employer can force you to continue working for them, but it does not bode well for you, if you have to use these people as a reference for another job in the future. |

So quit today, but do it in person. You sound very young and I'm impressed that you understand the importance of giving your 2 week notice - that being said - why in the world did you take the job knowing you've got a vacation scheduled AND school starting back up? Never mind - just go see your supervisor and explain everything to him or her.
I wish you well! |

Yeh, two weeks notice would be nice, but since you aren't likely to ever use this job as a reference to get another one, and since I'm sure they have a boatload of applications for people waiting to work there, just quit.
Or, go in and piddle or get into a fight with a customer and maybe they'll fire you and you won't have to worry about it. LOL! |

You MAY 'quit this job' however you want to ... but since this is your 'first job' do you really want a 'bad report' from just 'calling in and quitting' and never going back? That could 'haunt you' for the REST OF YOUR LIFE. Go into your bosses office, with a 'signed resignation' letter, and tell him/her that you have realized you are 'just too young' to be working full time now ... and then give your BOSS the option of telling you that you 'must' work out the 'two weeks' generally given as 'notice,' or that you may 'just quit' as of that time. That is the 'business-like' way of doing this 'quitting' and you will be at least 'starting to understand' why you sometimes MUST do things you don't like if you want to continue 'working' during your life.
Target cashier may not be your 'chosen career' but is IS the 'first job' you've had, and your 'ideas' for quitting are very 'immature' ... you need to 'grow up a little' and do 'the right thing' ... because it's 'this job' and how you performed it that may 'get you' your next job, even in another field entirely. |

Don't lie. Simple tell your supervisor at the end of your next shift, that this isn't working out for you and you are leaving. |

Well the least you can do is talk to your supervisor, before your shift begins, he/she might ask you to work tonights shift or just go then. They can't force you to work. |

Target isn't going to miss you too much. Just don't go to work and it will all pan out. Or if you want this for a reference then give the 2 weeks, but no one looking at a resume will care about less than a months work. Just ignore the phone calls and eventually it will be fine. Or you could change your answering machine/voicemail saying that you will be gone for the nexdt 2 weeks and that should fix your problem as well. Good Luck! |

Actually, you have right to quit the job you don't like. Nobody force you to work more that you don't expect, except if you're under a contract with Target. Otherwise, you don't need to worry a bit to quit. |

I say...quit today, and you don't need an excuse. It will not hurt anybody. Target is a big company. They can handle things with or without you. |

never ever just say i quit make up a stupid excuse like a family death or something so that when you get ur next job thew will most likely contact your last job and ask them on how good you were so it is best off if you lie to them so for ur next job they will give you a recomendation instead of telling them o that girl just quited on us trust me ur chances of getting hired are higher when you apply for your next job |

It's Target!! They'll find some other schlub to fill in. I wouldn't bother to call or show and would have them mail my check. I would also tastefully omit it from my future resume. Either that or tell them you got a better job and need to start training immediately. It's not like its a serious executive position... Let someone else ring up that fake Isaac Mizrahi they've been pushing... |

Quitting immediately will absolutely ruin your chances of getting a good reference for future jobs. Giving two weeks notice will give you a neutral or possibly good reference, if you can sweet talk your way into explaining how you're going to be busy than you previously expected. |

If. You. Seek. Amy.

like this.
walk into ur bosses office and say the following....
"i quit"
then walk out and go home. |

The choice is yours. If you're not planning on making a career out of cashiering at Target, eh. Who cares? |
