**** what anyone says about the economy. it was a good friend of yours. if you find another job, don't lie about anything either. say ''Yea i worked at a gas station for so and so months/years. Then my best friend i grew up with got in a bad car accident and i gave him a week notice of the situation and he said i couldn't go, so i told him i was going to go because he treats his employees' way unfair. I went back the next day after the funeral and he started screaming at me and throwing things and then fired me.'' 99% of jobs at your age would understand the situation. you want out anyways. if you pay for your car, have a parent help you out until you find another job and just pay them back. it's not worth staying there. no jobs are really good, and you'll deal with these kinds of people all the time. but sometimes you just have to let go. they cant control your life. i quit work at a nursing home last year for probably 50 different reasons. and when i left, i broke every dish they had, broke the juice machine, etc. they were ****ed and it cost them alot of money. just dont do that shit. the only reason i got away with it was because i could have had the place shut down for a reason i wont get into. but yea, just like everyone else on here said, just man up and go
