But before you yeet yourself out of the drive-thru window, there's a few things to consider.

Giving Taco Bell the Two-Week Salsa: Why It Matters
While the allure of a dramatic mic drop and a sprint out the door is undeniable, burning bridges usually isn't the best course of action. Remember, the world (and potential future employers) can be a surprisingly small place. Giving your manager a two-week notice shows professionalism and allows for a smooth handover. Plus, who knows, you might even snag a free Fiesta Bowl on your way out (hey, it's worth a shot, right?).
Quitting with Class (and Maybe a Free Baja Blast): How to Deliver the News
Here's the moment of truth: The Talk. Don't stress, it doesn't have to be a Shakespearean sonnet. A simple, "Hey [Manager's name], I'm putting in my two weeks' notice" will do the trick. Bonus points for a thank you for the memories (free food days!) and the valuable life skills you've acquired (like assembling a Quesarito in under 30 seconds).
QuickTip: Don’t skim too fast — depth matters.
Pro Tip: Don't announce your departure to the entire crew during the lunch rush. A private conversation with your manager is best.
Leaving Like a Legend (Without Spilling Any Hot Sauce): Making Your Last Days Memorable
You might be outta there, but that doesn't mean you have to phone it in. Train your replacement with the patience of a saint (they'll need it). Help out during busy rushes, and don't be a nacho cheese-hoarding villain. Basically, ensure a smooth handover so your coworkers don't cry into their sporks (too much).
QuickTip: Scan for summary-style sentences.
Feeling extra spicy? Organize a potluck with your crew. BYOB (bring your own Baja Blast) and share stories (both hilarious and horrifying) about your Taco Bell tenure. It's a chance to celebrate your escape (and maybe snag some extra Fire Sauce packets).
