Should I just stop showing up for work?

I work at Meijer, it's my second job and long story short I hate it, The people that are not even my boss feel like they can be my boss and make me do whatever they feel like telling me, I NEVER get out when I'm scheduled too and it's not until I tell them I'm leaving when they say "We can't let you leave" (exact words) I was scheduled to work Monday and something came up so I called on Friday, 4 days before hand to ask if i could switch my Monday shift to Tuesday which I had scheduled off, of course they said no because i didn't "request time off". They pretty much told me if I didn't come into work Monday that I'd be fired but I couldn't miss the situation that came up (another job interview, which i beileve i got) all in all i know its the right thing to do is leave a 2 weeks notice but I checked my schedule for next week and I'm only scheduled for one day and the has it takes to get there is almost half of what I'll get paid for that one day, obviously i wouldn't use them as a reference in the future but I just cannot stand working there.

Update:

Also showing that I only work one day next week, pretty much leads me to beileve they plan on firing me anyways because it's not even in the department I hired in, it's a department that they had me in a few days a week because they were running low on workers

Update 2:

I should also say, I'm only 18 and have no bills so having no job for a little while isn't a big deal as long as I find one relatively soon after this place

Update 3:

One pretty big point I left out is I had back surgery for my discs a few years ago and all the pushing, pulling, lifting, and turning at the spine kinda bothers me and I'd never wanna reinjure myself, it was complete hell

    Yeah, if they are legitimately bullying you around, screw 'em but don't expect to get hired at another job so soon...that unemployment rate is high right now. so careful.

    Who's telling you they can't let you leave? Them or your boss? Don't listen to them and say you're scheduled to leave now and not later. If they can't do the workload, that's their problem. You have a schedule right? You're not supposed to be there for unapproved overtime. If they're telling you they can't let you leave, then you go to your boss and ask him/her what he wants you to do. If he tells you to leave, then you leave.

    Don't listen to your co-workers. They're thinking they've got power over you.

    If your boss doesn't do anything, talk with someone over his/her head. You're all supposed be a team and pull each other weights. Not leave you with the work. If that doesn't work, then quit and give a letter of resignation of two weeks. That's the way to resign from a place of employment. This way, they get someone else in to take over your position.

    I'd recommend sticking to it until you know fore sure you are hired elsewhere.

    I have quit too many times and being left jobless for months, because while there are places hiring where I live there is A LOT of people looking for jobs.

    They stopped displaying Naruto considering the fact that it got here to the end of the general naruto sequence. There's more Naruto coming so dont fear with the aid of February and in addition they stopped it on account that the episodes they have been displaying had been fillers and scores started to drop.
