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).

Well I’m just trying to figure out how to put it nicely. I have a lot of social anxiety @okaybut

@666Maggotz Of course I get it, but I am not sure there is an easy way. There is one hack I see...you can put the blame on yourself for whatever reason. Make it seem like you just cannot do the work role. But yes, it sucks to feel like you might be letting someone down, sorry.
