What is the best way to tell my boss that I will no longer be working for as of Monday?

I normally just stop showing up but this boss has not done anything to really make me mad, so I plan on actually saying something this time.

I’m an “at will” employment state, so it works both ways. I don’t have to give a 2 weeks if I don’t want to. I plan on doing my shift today and Sunday. That at least gives her 3 days to get her stuff in order. I’m her only closing cashier.

Being the only closing cashier played a big role in why I’m leaving. On top of rude customers and a lack of employees (responsibilities outside of my job description became my problem). At the new job, I work Monday - Thursday 10 hour shifts and it’s a book warehouse (no customers).

I just have terrible social skills and I don’t know how to break the news because when I go, there will only be her, the assistant manager, and a morning cashier who can’t work weekends or evenings because she’s a single mom (she works days because the child goes to daycare).

"I have to quit effective (immediately...or whatever day you choose). I have accepted a new position and they want/need me to start training on Monday."

Do not be surprised if they try to counteroffer (wages). Do not be surprised if they get mad and all pissy about it. And whatever you do .... do not accept any counteroffer or "olive branch" they offer.

If she wants a reason ... and they usually ask ... just tell her that the customers antics/negativity are stressing you out and it is affecting your mental health.
