Fast food worker quits without notice, manager tries to get away with paying minimum wage for his final paycheck: 'The pay is still void because there was no two week notice'

Let this story serve as a friendly reminder that giving two weeks is a courtesy, not a requirement. If you do end up quitting without giving two weeks, that does not mean you are relinquishing any other prior rights as an employee. To translate to this specific scenario, your boss cannot dock your final pay because of your choice to quit on the spot. 

In this instance, we have a fast food employee who used to work at a very well-known establishment famous for its donuts (if you catch our drift). He quit after one shift and had to initially sign an illegal contract allowing his manager to pay him minimum wage if he decided not to give two weeks' notice. 

Here's the truth of the matter, though: an illegal contract is null and void regardless of whether or not the employee signed it at a certain point in time. He's entitled to his normal pay no matter what. Keep scrolling below for the full exchange of messages between the former fast food worker and his toxic manager.
