Should I quit my current job I hate if I haven't found a new one yet?

Sounds like a really bad place to work. But still, try not to quit until you find another, more reasonable, job, unless your parents are willing to just support you for awhile.

And keep track of the hours you work, your tips and tipouts, and keep your paystubs. When you find something else and quit, you can report them to your state department of labor. They're underpaying you. The law (and it's federal) allowing them to pay you 2.13 hourly says that if your total wages plus tips (and that's AFTER tipouts) is less that the regular minimum wage, now 7.25 per hour assuming you're in the US (higher in some states), the employer must make up the difference so you end up with at least 7.25 an hour including tips, before taxes. You could report them now, but they'd probably fire you, so if you need the job, it's better to wait.

Good luck.

First, It is illegal for them to work you for that long without a break. Look up our employee rights for your state. Then print them out and bring this in to them, and request politely that you be given your legal breaks when you work long hours. Always do your best, no matter what the circumstances of your position. It is your reputation, after all. You must not be looking very hard if you cannot find a serving job. The turnover rate is high, so keep looking. Servers can make v-e-r-y good money. Look for a place that serves cocktails.... you make LOTS more money that way. As a server, I made about 37 dollars an hour. Never under estimate the power of good customer service. You CAN make great money. Keep applying at all of the restaurants in your area or that you are willing to drive to. I can guarantee you that if you have experience, you WILL get a job that you can enjoy. Not all people are like the ones you work for now. If you have bills to pay, and do not have enough saved to allow you to go for a time without a job, then keep it while you look. You have already been there for 2 years. I do have a question for you though...WHY do you stay for those long hours if you are not scheduled???? Or.... do they actually schedule you that long?? Hang in there.... you WILL find other work that you will love in this field. Serving at most places is the best job to have if you are in school. They know that their employees have scheduling issues, and do their best to schedule all around their classes. Don't give up!!! Keep looking and applying.... you WILL find work.

In my opinion, you are basically exchanging the meagre money made with your health both physically and mentally. It seems like the company is exploiting you guys to a point of work abuse and company bullying to the employees. The company has no compunction when the employees fall sick or had an accident. If you are not even allowed a break let alone to drink water and going to the toilet is definitely also restricted, then you better leave before you really fall sick in such a terrible condition and environment. If you quit of course its a good thing to enroll in a class and focus your time on studying and later you can find a better job but in the meantime, you are short in the income. I'm sure your thoughts of quitting is there, but doing it, is another thing. Its best, if you need the money, hang in there until you can find another job. Getting a job is very hard in this economy.

Education is more important I would quit and look for a simple minimum wage job at McDonald s or any other fast food/retail business it's not worth your health for $2.13 an hr and 20-40$ every shift.

If you do not have to rely on these funds for living expenses then go ahead and quit. Give a two week notice If you do then find a job before quitting this job

Sorry, im not going to read all of that, but i read that you work 18 hour shifts with no break, this is ILLEGAL, speak to a union rep or in the UK we have government services which we can speak to about this kind of thing, i'm not sure what it's called in the US but look into it, by law you are entitled to unpaid breaks every few hours, your employer can't stop you taking them, they can say when to take them but not if you can or can't take them. Look into it, you can get your boss in big trouble, which means you might get a new boss who might be easier to work for.

find another job first!!! i cant specify that more!! last thing you want is to quit and not have a income for the next 6 months, no matter how bad it is... w8 till you find another job!!!!!!

make an anoymous complaint to the department of labor
