I think I just quit my job. I was on self-check out duty. #s 1 & 3 were on “Pay Cashier Only” so everybody had to pay me at the paystation, 2 has been down for days and 4, the express, was the only one working. I was running back and forth between them all day. At about 6:15 4 ran out of coins so I tried to refill the dispenser, but kept having to run back to the paystation. Not me I was cashing a woman (I think?) out and these to women at 1 started complaining that their bags didn’t work so I told them to use the ones right next to them. They said something about they’re just letting me know about the bags. I said something along the lines of “I don’t order them it’s not my fault!”. I finished cashing out the customer I was with. Then they came up, I realized what I sounded like and I think I was about to apologize? She said about the bags again and called my an asshole. Then I cursed (I don’t know what I said) started screaming “I quit”. Ran to the time clock, clocked out, ran back to the paystation and got my keys & cellphone and ran out of the store. I kept yelling “Goodbye I quit” 
:eek: . Then when I was in my car I realized what I just did. Why the hell did I do this? I’ve called worse, been threated, grabbed, spat at, and kept calm, but I just snapped. I can’t believe I just quit in the middle of a shift. Damn!
Yep. You just quit.
Now what?
Well there are plenty of jobs on Sol III… What’s prompted this action? - as you say, you’ve been through worse - maybe you just can’t take it anymore - last straw thing. My guess is that you were not happy there anyway. Seriously I do hope you can find something else soon. Also if you have a good boss and this is out of charachter he/she may say - oh I heard you just left early and allow you to continue - is that what you want?
Unless you’re inclined to beg for the job back and have a very sympathetic boss, yeah you quit. Also did a damn fine job of making yourself ineligible for unemployment as well, at least in my state.
I think I finally snapped. After I had a shower and ate something I called work. After I had a chance to calm down I felt great. I’m not going back. I talked to S, the manager on duty, she wanted to know if I was alright and what happened. She was sad to see me go, but didn’t blame me. I was very apologetic about quitting in the middle of a shift (totally unlike me), but she said not to worry about it. Apparntly she wished she could do the same thing. I’m in college and I live at home so I’m not in any danger of starving. I’ll start looking for a new job this week. I feel great now, but it was so weird. Like I was watching something happen from behind my eyes.
Congratulations! Really, I applaud you. You’ve done something I wish (every single day!) I could do. I think it’s great*. 
*Now that I know you won’t starve, I mean.
Sounds like the stress of frantically running around like a maniacal fool caught up with you. I’ve been this close to being there, too. At my last job we went through a bit of a transitional period where our company (now probably the largest tool company in existence) bought out another group of companies and as such, the store I worked in was taking on not only more stock for the sales floor, but more incoming and outgoing repairs. They moved me over to shipping for this because (stupid me) I knew the new inventory control system better than anyone and could ostensibly fly through receiving, shipping, booking in and logging out tools, processing defectives and so on. Well, with all the new inventory I was doing the work of three people. I literally did not have enough time in the day to tend to everything, and nearing the end of my time there I was pulling my hair out and seriously thinking about quitting. Fortunately they saved me the trouble by laying me off. (Unrelated to my performance there – rather, related to the performance, or lack thereof, of previous managers, who’d sunk the store pretty deep in the hole)
Best thing they ever did. Now I’m with a company in a slightly similar position that’s laid back, casual, easy-going, and all around great. Completely the opposite of my last job.
Sometimes things happen for a reason.
Make sure to proofread your next resume. And good luck.
I’ve always wanted to do something like that, but have never been able to bring myself to do it. (I even gave a 2 week notice at my crappy parttime job as a retail cashier).
Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you on this. 
Happy job hunting!
Sounds like she’s an okay person. It also sounds like whoever schedules didn’t do their job properly and you were stuck in a really bad position. A boss who doesn’t get that probably isn’t worth working for anyway, since they’ll just screw you again and think nothing of it. Go ahead and try to get the job back, if you want. If they expect you to beg, they’re not good employers and most likely want to avoid working there again anyway.
