"Customer Threw Their Hot Coffee At Me": 30 People Share What Made Them Quit A Job The Fastest

Private pain clinic after 3 months. This place was definitely committing insurance fraud actively and had a nearly 80 year old doc handing narcs. One day, after not getting paid on time for the 3rd period in a row, I walked out and threatened legal action for my money.

I needed a part time job, and they sent me home early on my first day because they hadn't met the sales goals for the previous day. They told me they didn't make enough to pay me. I asked them if money was that tight, then why did they post that job and hire me? I quit on the spot.

The store isn't even there anymore, but it closed a while before the company itself fell apart.

Worked att a mayo factory and realised I couldn't stand the smell... Not the most fun day I've had.

I was 18 and fresh out of high school. The interview went well, with lots of promises for 'growth and earning potential.' The guy offered me the job, and we had a genuinely nice conversation. I showed up at the agreed-upon time the next morning, and the guy was standing outside next to his car. He told me to jump in. I asked where we were going. He simply said, 'The job site.'
I then realize that I have no idea what the job I've taken actually is. I refuse his ride as I start getting the feeling I've been had. So I follow him, driving for about 20 minutes. We pull into a Best Buy. I park next to him and ask why we're here. He tells me this is where we work. That's odd. I didn't know I'd be working at Best Buy.

"We walk in, and he grabs a clipboard and says, 'Follow me.' I follow him around as he corners people trying to sell them DirecTV. He now hands me the clipboard and points to a couple shopping and says, 'Go sell!' I ask him if it ever works. He says, 'If you want it bad enough, you can sell anything!'

"I hand him the clipboard, thank him for wasting my time, and walk out the door. Total time: less than an hour.

I worked at a place for one day where we were supposed to trick people into signing up for magazines that they wouldn't ever be able to cancel I guess? Calling people and then trying to convince them to buy by giving us their credit card and telling them they were getting something free and then they had to call back and cancel. The person training me told me she would sell to anyone blind, old, stupid she didn't care that was her job.

I didn't go back the 2nd day.

I stayed three days at a place where the interviewer/supervisor said I would not have to answer phones. Guess what? That was actually 95% of the job.

Worked one week at a movie theater. The pay was minimum wage. They promised you could also watch movies for free and get free popcorn. The free popcorn turned out to be a tiny cup full of popcorn. We had to count all of the cups and popcorn buckets at both the start and end of every shift.

I worked for 2 hours at a Burger King before I quit. I was only shceduled 11 hours of work after being promised at least 25, and they cut me half way through my first shift because it was slow.

Books a Million. They require you to try and sell membership cards. I personally think it's a great deal, but after the manager lectured me for not asking someone who barely had enough change to pay for their one book, I knew it was time to leave.

I stocked grocery shelves at night the summer I graduated from High School. It was a 10pm-6am shift. I hated it right away, and my back hurt like hell. The folks I worked with were like no other people I had met, the sort of crazies that only come out at night. It was also weird watching everyone drive to work as I was driving home, and trying to fall asleep at 7am in the morning. I quit in under 2 weeks.
