I only work part-time, but I feel bad quitting after only starting there three weeks ago. I found a much better job where I put my resume in BEFORE I started working the job that I am now quitting.

Just be honest and explain that you found a position that better fits your needs at this time. It is a given two way street, that the first 90 days is a probationary period which allows the employer to see if you are a good fit. Conversely, the employee gets to see if the company is a good fit for him/her.
The sooner you give them notice, the better off you will be. It's not like the old days where the companies were loyal to you. I quit a good job that I had for 9 months. They had put me through an extensive training program and invested time and money in me. Bottom line, I found out my supervisor lied to me about something. My mom was sick in another state and the lie prevented me from visiting her as often as I needed to. I will not work for anyone who lies to me. Don't care how much money they pay, I wasn't raised like that. I found another job within 2 weeks and gave my notice. Did they get mad?, yes. Did they try to mess with me?, yes. But that's life and shows that I probably shouldn't have worked their in the first place. My last day of work, I called off sick for the first time and was really sick. The supervisor's boss called my house to verify I was sick. Very unprofessional and a year later, I heard he got canned. See God doesn't like ugly. So don't feel bad, look out for #1 as these companies won't.

You write a note to your boss saying you are leaving as of two weeks later, same as if you'd been there longer. You should probably mention, either in the letter or verbally, that you have a much better offer, and it was one you'd applied for before you took this job, that you regret leaving so soon, thank you for the opportunity.....

Wow - you're going to be viewed as very flaky and with good reason. A little piece of advice you didn't ask for -- don't list this job you're quitting, on your resume.
Just write them a resignation letter like you would any other company.

Just do it. Odds are they won't keep you but will show you the door. This stuff happens and you can be effusive in how wonderful they are, you just can't afford to turn down a better offer.
That's the world of business.

Just go to the Main Office & tell the person in charge

If you already got paid then just do not show up again. If you have not yet get paid and then go and tell your manaer and propose to give 2 weeks but they may not make you keep to it.

just be honest here, they prob don't want to waste anymore time with you in training and will let you go....don't use people next time...it costs money for an employer to train people to be productive
