Quitting job after 3 shifts?

Long story condensed into a short one...

I started a new job this week and have worked a total of 2 shifts. I really hate it. I was thinking and I figured out that I would rather die than work there, so quitting sounds like a better option than death.

I am not going to use them as a reference or put it on my resume (obviously), but I was referred there by a friend that works there, plus the boss is a somewhat nice lady, so I want to be nice about my departure.

How should I quit gracefully and should I offer to give any type of notice?

I was thinking of saying to the boss in private, "I appreciate the opportunity to work here but unfortunately the job just isn't for me".

What do you think?

Thanks

    a 2 week notice is standard.

    The "proper" and "professional" way to do things is to submit your two weeks. You won't like those two weeks but then you can put it on a resume and the employer may say that you were very professional. These two weeks of work won't be great bit it gives the employer time to accommodate for their loss.
