You should give your notice so that it is in your record, and therefore, has to be reported to anyone who wants a reference. If you don't give notice, then it reflects poorly on you when you need that employer as a reference.
It is very common for an employer to accept your resignation and then ask you to not return for your final two weeks. This is still considered that you gave your notice. The employer cannot claim that he fired you if you have already resigned. Most employers do not want employees to return to work after giving their notice because there is much higher chance of the employee stealing. So, don't take it personally. Just give your two weeks and if they don't want you to come back, then know you did the right thing anyway.

I imagine it depends on the state Labor Laws. In Va. 2 weeks notice is not required by law, it's just a common courtesy. A lot of employers will lead you to believe it's required but it isn't.
and yes your employer can still fire you after you give a 2 weeks notice.

No -- by law you do not have to give notice. California is an at-will employment state, and recognizes your right to terminate your employment for any reason at at any time.
Separate from the legal issue, unless you are in a very bad situation that you must remove yourself from immediately, it is a good idea to give notice.

its good to give a 2 week notice if you want to use that employer as a reference or previous job experience. it would look better also to say that u gave a notice, if the manager doesnt want u PAST that tho, then u still did ur part. looks good for the next person, because they might keep u until they actually find someone else, and thats usually what they are doing in that time, trying to replace u

It is always a good idea to give notice to quit with a reasonable time table. Two weeks seems to be an OK.amount of time.
Several years ago I told a person that I do things for to find some one to replace me. To date they haven't found anybody.
Some days I feel that they aren't really looking.
It is always a good idea to part company with good feelings.

Well, I'm not sure if it is written in law, but giving two weeks notice will help in getting good referrals from your employer for future jobs.

You don't have to give any notice... you can quit any minute. But don't expect your ex employer to provide a good reference unless you have to quit for some emergency they know about.

Give as little notice as possible.
I once gave three weeks notice, and they fired me on the next day.
Two weeks is to benefit your employer,
You need to benefit yourself.
