Whats stopping him from never showing up again?

I don't know if there's a legal process or not.

Giving two weeks is not mandatory. It is mandatory if you ever really want to work for said company ever again however.

Also to keep in mind, if you apply for a new job, and the new place calls the manager at this subway, chances are that manager might not give you a ringing endorsement becuase you didn't give em two weeks notice. Also, didn't they give you a handbook with company policies? therese gotta be something in there to answer your questions.

I enjoyed making subs during college becasue it was a chance to relax and do something mindless as a break from my engineering studies. I'd defintely do it again given the same circumstances. That said, It's not something I'd do if I was looking for advancement or a career.

He doesn't even have to mention that he had ever worked Subway.

If the old manager doesn't know he worked there, he obviously can't get in touch with the manager.

EDIT: This only works because he was there for 1 day. However, if you worked 3 years at a company, left on bad terms, and never mentioned them in your resume, then whoever looks at his resume will know something is up. A 3 year gap "with no job" is awfully long. 1 day is nothing.

Fast food isn't really for everyone. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. At my first day at BK within one hour I was trying to find a way to get out. I started at $6.75. I wouldn't say the job was the funnest thing in the world but the employees were cool, stupid customers were a plus, and there was always something new every day. Plus out of all the jobs in the past I have had, employers mostly ask about my BK experience and have been recently given a promotion because of it (even though I wasn't qualified at the time).

*edit* I applied on tuesday, on thursday an employee called me back saying come into training tommorow(friday) from 3-7, and when i got there she told me how much it'd pay, and i immediately started making subs with the supervision of another employee. Since they werent couteous enough to at least tell me some details over the phone, i dont think they deserve the courtesy of me spending an extra 2 weeks suffering there, while im doing college full time.

Sorry, thats your fault. Maybe you should have been smart enough to ask them any questions you had before you committed yourself to employment.

I'm sorry, but if he only worked there a day, then he doesn't need to give them any notice. Subway isn't an important part of his life. No one ever needs to know that he ever worked there at all. 10 years from now, he'll never have worked in a Subway in his life (he'll have forgotten.)

:thumbsup:

Several food places tried the "just start working and we will discuss the pay later" routine with me when I was in high school working crap jobs.

However, I was smart enough to say "Let's discuss the pay and schedule first and see if I want this job before I make my first sandwich".

Well, yea. He doesn't have to give them 2 weeks in my opinion. I'm just saying this is what he gets for not bein smart enough to get everything cleared up before he started his employment.

Personally, I'd give 2 weeks notice just as a courtesy to my fellow workers who might need to double shift (unless it turns out they were a-holes).

If you talk to the manager they'll probably let you quit right away. That way they don't have to put you through training (costs them $$) only to have you quit in 2 weeks.
