Should I just stop showing up for work?

Question

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. 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. 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:

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.

And yes I did ask this yesterday too, i just wanted as much feedback as possible, thanks.

Time to grow up.... If you do not want the job then somebody else will love to have that job...You're 18 so work and go to school. You have no bills so work, save your money and invest into a retirement account. This will lead to a path of being financially stable. Get your priorities straight and do not waste your life. Its enough people in this world that wish they could be young again so they will have the chance to do things differently. Change your process or many years from now, you will still be on yahoo answers complaining that you are broke and bills are piling up. You may think that you have many years ahead of you but time go by real fast and it doesnt wait on anyone. Dont be a statistics. Get yourself together now.

I wouldn't walk out. Just suck it up and finish the employment. When someone doesn't show up for work, I don't think "Oooooh, bad ***." I think "Ah, come on!! Now we have to call around, see if they're coming in, and either call someone ELSE in on their day off, or I have to work double-hard!" In other words, it inconveniences EVERYONE. See if you got the job, give your two week notice, and get out.

And dayam... Lol. I'd LOVE to be able to not work for a week or two! I'm 17 and have bills! I pay for my car insurance (I might add that I got the car myself with NO help at all...), cell phone bill, my college, anything I want (including shampoo, conditioner, makeup, clothes, etc.), a good portion of what I need, and a fair chunk of my own food. All in all, at the end of the year, my dad probably won't be able to legally claim me on his taxes, because short of course of paying any rent, the internet, and some of my food, I've been supporting myself. Lol. Responsibility sucks, but I'd rather learn it now while at home and my dad can help me than when I move out and have to learn it the hard way!

It's never a good idea to walk out on a job. Besides the fact that it's really immature and rude, you don't know what your future holds, or where there might be some other job sometime that you really want, but someone there knows you from this job and knows you walked out.

Give the 2 weeks notice. It's not like you're talking all that many shifts.

They stopped displaying Naruto seeing that it came to the end of the general naruto series. There may be more Naruto coming so dont worry by using February and also they stopped it due to the fact the episodes they had been displaying were fillers and ratings started to drop.
