Yes, it's standard practice in most companies to give a two-week notice as a courtesy to allow the company time to replace you.
And, it certainly won't play well if you just flat out quit for any future opportunity where their Personnel or HR might contact this employer for a reference.
Now, depending on your situation (and your company's policy regarding how long one needs to work before he's a "permanent" employee), there is the possibility your company may not want a "disgruntled" employee hanging around for two weeks knowing he's a "short-timer" and able to contaminate the other employees by badmouthing your present employer and, as long as you have given the aforesaid notice, might just opt to pay you for the two weeks (which they are now legally bound to do) and simply show you the door two weeks early.

Two weeks notice is such BS. An employer can fire you on the spot, but you are supposed to give them notice???
4 weeks is diddly, just don't put them on your resume, then they can't give you a bad review.

It'd be nice, and it depends on how badly you want to quit, but it also depends on what kind of position.
Hourly wage at Burger King? They'd be happy if you gave them one day notice.
Professional salaried job - yes, two weeks would be nice.

Maybe a week's noticem they probably have someone else ready from the other job candidates.
