Hey guys, I am new to this site. I really need some help quitting.
Ok, i am working for this giant company that has tons of employees. Its an amusement park. I have only been working here for just over a month, and in this month, i have learn to hate it.
For example, we get a 30 min break for lunch. But in the 30 min break, you have to make your 10 min walk out the park to eat for 10 min, and then make your 10 min walk back to be on time. Not to mention, if a guest decides to ask questions. There goes your break.
I have been accused of stealing, which i assure you i did not do. And the job is feeling very uncomfortable, like i am not trusted by managers, because everyone was acting funny after my "interrogation." (I don't know if i still am under investigation)
I want to quit, but there proceeder to quitting takes longer than 2 weeks.
If i just do not show up, and drop off my stuff later. Would that work?
I wont be putting them on my work history, since it was only weekends, and for a month.
Please help guys. And for the record, i have 2 jobs lined up i can take. 1 paying a lot more than this one. So i wint be in the dumps if i do.

To answer most accurately, it is best if you tell us the following:
What state are you in?
Did you sign any contract regarding the procedures of quitting? (Although typically, this contract is void).
I believe in all states other than Montana, you can just outright quit with no consequences. Ofcourse you cannot use this company as a reference... so it is best to just leave it off your resume.
If you are that unhappy I would simply ask to see you manager and turn in your stuff. When he asks why you're quitting explain that you have been treated unfair and you felt being accused of stealing was out of line then just walk out.
If they make a big deal out of it simply mention you will be contacting an attorney in regards to false theft accusation
I've quit jobs before...the worst part is what people think of you (family, spouse, maybe close friends) because you quit. It may sound like "what other think doesn't matter" but when talking about family or a spouse it sometimes kills your morale and if you feel bad about yourself you may find it hard to find a new job. Another option is what future you thinks of this point in time. For instance if you find it hard to find a new job will you regret quitting? Whenever you think about quitting it's best to simply start looking for something new while still being employed.
If you have a regular job during the week then I say bag up your stuff before your shift and hand it to your manager and say "I don't think this position is for me but I thank you for the opportunity. Would you like to walk me out or should I go on my own?"
You know...speaking as someone who has worked in a similar environment you can wear a plain t shirt under your polo and just pop the uniform top off while you walk to lunch. Is there a lunchroom near where you punch out? Could you bring sandwiches or salads and just eat near the punchout station? Does your structure allow for a short lunch on saturday and a longer one on sunday?
As for stealing I probably would have quit at that point if it were going to be my reason...time has passed your manager probably doesn't even remember it happened.
Well first of all, breaks ALWAYS include the time it takes you to get to wherever you feel like going on your break. So it doesn't matter where you work now or later, you're going to have to get used to that fact.
I am still in college, so this was just a weekend job, just to have a bit of money on the side. Like for fast food, haha.
I was interrogated on saturday, which was the last day i worked. So that really pushed me off the edge. I worked hard, and now my fellow employee's accuse me of stealing!?
I was one of there best. Not to mention, the only bilingual one there. Its just ridiculous!
If you can get another job, leave. If not, stay. They seem pretty crappy so I wouldn't worry about a two week notice or doing their quitting procedure. There is an easy way to quit. It's called leaving and not coming back.
