Quitting Mcdonalds after 2/3weeks

Just been working for mcdonalds for week and abit now, seriously thinking about quitting the job since i absolutely hate the workload for the amount of pay you get. But since the probation period is 21 days, it is not too much hassle to quit? Need help guys n gals.

Thanks

Just don't go back. If you're still on probation then it shouldn't matter, just phone them and say you're leaving - they'll find a replacement soon enough, anyway.

Ask yourself: "And what else am I going to do, instead?"

Better now than later I suppose.

But a job is a job, and good luck finding one elsewhere.

It's ***** but think of how hard it will be to find another job. I quit mcdonalds a few months later but if i had it now i'd stick at it.

i know what u guys mean but im going to look for another one, if not then im not fussed, probs end up on hols. To be honest, after my interview with mcdonalds and got my job, toys r us and john lewis rang for interview so maybe i hav lost my chances there but im sure i can get a better job with the retail experience i had before anyway than mcdonalds.

Yeah but surely you knew the workload you would have to face and the rubbish pay they recieve, as everyone jokes about the weak pay there. Have you never been inside there, and noted the fact that the guys there are constantly working? im just saying, i think you should stick it out, at least until you get another job. I mean money is money and even though its little, its still better than nothing.

errr I worked in a chip shop in a tourist area....much worse pay...much more work and boy do I wish I could do it now.

If you have the money not to work then quit....personally I'm considering selling a kidney.
