Quit last job 2 months ago and was just hired at a new place (cashier job-same pay as before-not ideal job) but another with better hours and better pay comes along.

If I were you I would be careful about leaving.
You must be extremely careful how you leave because you do not want to burn any bridges in the process.This job may be your reference to your next position.
How long have you worked at the job you are working now?
Maybe it would be a good idea to speak with someone in HR as well as your manager before you quit. Also you should put your reason(s) in writing because it is more professional.
When you accept an offer you also accept the conditions along with it. Are you sure you will be happy at the new job? Make sure you weigh the pros and cons because you do not want to be looking for a new one again.
Please keep in mind, employers sometimes do not like potential new employees who "job hop" because that may show signs of disloyalty. So make sure you think things through before you leave. The grass is not always greener on the other side.

Be straight forward, right away.
Don't wait until your next shift.
Don't try to do it while on the clock.
The decent thing to do...
Call your boss and ask to set up an appointment to talk.
When you get there, simple tell him/her that you have really enjoyed working here and are very appreciative of being hired, but another job offer has come to you with better hours and better pay. Tell the boss that you just can't afford not to take it. Tell the boss that you don't want to leave on a bad note and don't want to leave them short handed. Then ask could you please put in your two weeks notice.
If you can't put in the two weeks notice, say you're sorry, but they want you to start right away and you can't put in a two weeks notice.
If the boss isn't a total jerk, then all will go well.
You never know, they might offer you a better deal to stay.

It's what employers have to realize. That if they don't pay you enough, you will move on. The good note.. would be asking your employer how many days notice they would like. Leaving on a bad note would be saying I quit tomorrow I don't care what you say.
You never want to leave on a really bad note. It's a small world. You may need them or run into them again when your reputation is on the line.
Your new employer should be understanding of your current employers demands regarding how much notice you are giving.

Well make sure you are actually going to get the better hours and better pay and it's not just a promise. CVS is good at that, "if you come back you wont have to work weekends" that lasted 2 or 3 weeks.. never got the raise either.. *sigh*

Just bail out. If you think this new place will give you bad references for quitting quickly, don't write them down on applications anymore. It's not like being a cashier is something to "hold on to" if something better comes along.

You can leave on a good note if you give 2 weeks notice and still perform as a good employee during those two weeks while they hire a replacement. Stuff happens, employers understand it.

You're leaving, what are they gonna do, fire you? It's not likely they will offer you a raise and better conditions just to retain you Don't worry about what they think, it's nothing personal. They understand this -- I mean think about it, will they offer you a raise and better conditions just to retain you? That's nothing personal either. It's just business. You have to be true to your own strong ethics though ... be genteel about it, try to leave gracefully ... your new employer will respect you for not wanting to leave your old employer in the lurch.

Just thank them for the opportunity they presented you, and tell them another employer has offered you a job that better fits your living expenses.
Who can argue against that?

Be upfront with your current boss and explain the situation to him/her. Generally, it looks better if you tell them than leaving them hanging and therefore may, in fact, get you a better reference, although most businesses anymore will simply, when asked if you worked there, state that yes, you did or no, you did not.

Just be honest with them and tell them that you appriciate their offer but you have recieved a better oppertunity with better hours and more pay. Surely they will understand, if not well you have to do what you need to do.
