I just got hired and I already want to quit. How do I go about it? Is there something I select online? I don't want to give a 2-week notice, I would like to quit as soon as possible. However, if it is absolutely mandatory I will. I read all over the place "don't burn bridges" but honestly, I'm never going to work for Kroger again. I'm leaving for college next year in another city and my future career has nothing to do with grocery stores or retail. I'm 100% sure I will not see any of my managers or co-workers again so I really don't care. Anyway, please help me out and thanks.
Eh, it really doesn't matter honestly if it's like your second day. Pretty sure EVERYONE has had at least one job in which they realized it wouldn't work out in the first few days and then just didn't show up for their next shift. It happens all the time in high-turnover industries like retail. I can't believe you even asked lol... just don't show up.
On another note though I'm in university right now studying mathematics. Obviously my work at Kroger has nothing to do with my field of study, but in college you WILL NEED the money from a job like this. You will be broke, possibly in debt. Don't assume that this job is beneath you just because you're going to college. Lots of us at Kroger are in school.
Sounds like you're a junior in HS... tbh you don't know what your future career is going to be. Not saying that you shouldn't quit, because there's a 99% chance it won't matter for your future, but realize that things are going to change and that you might find yourself needing a retail job again in a year or two or even after you graduate.

Maybe they do know what their future career is going to be. TBH, how do you know they don't know?
Pretend it's McDonald's-------------which is actually a bad example because they're BETTER, which is just about the saddest thing I've ever seen become of an employer.
Any way, do this in the way it works best for YOU. As for burning bridges? Sometimes it's better you do, if it keeps you from returning to pure, 100% $ H I T.
But I do agree with what snailshell said: you don't want to write off retail completely. I actually did that after leaving a retail job and it took me 6 years to find another one that wasn't in retail until I just settled. Life happens, and sometimes you just can't be picky.
