How should I quit my part time job?
I have been working in Matsuya for about two months and the general experience has been pretty bad. I am not fluent in Japanese but I know well enough to know people are being rude and impatient with me. I don’t like the way I’m treated there and all my friends have jobs where they’re treated better.
Because of that I want to quit, but I am not quite sure how to. Should I write a letter of resignation? If so, who should I give it to?
The manager usually is not at the store when I work, and I wouldn’t like to wait for him to be there to quit the job.
Please help me since I want to leave this job without getting screamed at or creating inconveniences.

It’s generally expected to give two-weeks notice when resigning from a job, and it’s a good idea to have this documented via a proper letter of resignation.
My first thought was that people seem to stop showing up to their part time jobs all the time without properly resigning, especially in the restaurant industry, but after looking into it a bit, it seems like you could [possibly be liable](https://townwork.net/magazine/knowhow/taishoku/baito_taishoku/40029/) in this case, so scratch that idea.
I would just hand some kind of resignation letter to your manager, or even mail them, or worst case you could give it to a coworker and ask them to hand it to the manager. If you’re lazy, you could probably ask ChatGPT to draft you a resignation letter, which should be good enough.
It’s just a baito, and they aren’t allowed to stop you from quitting, so as long as you don’t give in to pressure, you should be fine, and in some cases bosses even start acting nicer once they realize you’re going to be out of their control soon (although not always). Also although not guaranteed, if you talk it over with them they might agree to let you quit before the 2 week period – if you want to quit immediately it might be worth considering.
Block all their numbers and forget you ever worked there, done
