This is a question I Quit!

Scaryduck writes, "I celebrated my last day on my paper round by giving everybody next door's paper, and the house at the end 16 copies of the Maidenhead Advertiser. And I kept the delivery bag. That certainly showed 'em."

What have you flounced out of? Did it have the impact you intended? What made you quit in the first place?

I'm not sure he deserved anything
the way the taxation system works is hardly his fault. You were being paid more than them from his point of view because he has to pay your Tax and NI. The extra discount for the temp staff is hardly worth getting stroppy about. And if you don't like your job, quit, absolutely, but leaving the shop unlocked is a shit thing to do. and stuff that you "may" have taken is still theft. If there was stuff missing, you were fucking lucky that he didn't call the police and have you charged. If you had the keys you were responsible for security, quitting or not.

Most small businesses run on a knife edge day-to-day. I've been involved in a couple of bike shops that have gone under, mainly because small shops can't compete in price with bigger chains. Sorry, but unless there is something you aren't saying, this story just marks you out to me as not a very nice person
