Thank you! Fred Meyer which is owned by Kroger.
You did the right thing, no one should be treat like that. I wish you all the best and chatting with you on this MB tells me you are a terrific person who deserves the best. And that job will come along, I just know it. 
So today after avoiding me for 2 1/2 hours the manager approached me and simply said 'I know nothing's going to change your mind but I am sorry that you are leaving.' No apology for calling me a liar. Right. I replied 'Thank you. It's time for me to go.' and left it at that. He deserves no more than that.

You'll be fine. I work in insurance, and I couldn't create a folder if you put a gun to my head! I'm no kid, and I get second jobs a lot. Places are generally thrilled to get someone with some real world experience who is willing to work. Indeed.com is a good resource for local jobs. Apply for anything & everything you feel even remotely comfortable with. You never know what might work out. Stay positive, you will be fine.
Adding my positive vibes and good wishes for you, krf! Big big hugs to you.
(((KRF))) I really wonder if there's such a thing as a manager who has any empathy. Every manager I've worked for advanced to their level via the Peter principal I quit my last job after the final straw dropped too. I'd worked there for over 19 years and put up with a lot of sh*t but when that last straw drops, it drops. I'll bet your former manager is going to regret losing you. I hope someone tells him he's in the wrong job if he's so into himself that he can't apologize for wronging an employee. I hope your next boss appreciates you

Whatever happens, you've done the right thing. You should also find that you have more knowledge and skills in the locker than you realise. That'll come in handy if you have to jump sectors (plus you have good people/customer-facing skills, right? Those are priceless. Pretty much every role I see has something about needing 'Excellent communication skills' and suchlike). And if you find no one will give you a job, you can always work for yourself. It's tough, especially right out of the gate, but there are certain compensations (and if your boss turns out to be an a-hole...well, who do you have to blame but yourself? ).
Nothing but the very best wishes here.

Just know we are all behind. Hope your last two weeks are much better days.
Amongst everyone else's words I'll just add a HELL YES. Because I'm classy this way.
Good for you KRF. So many people spend their entire working lives in a miserable job because they don't know how to get out. It takes courage and it's definitely not easy but to sound utterly cliche' life really is too short. Hearing your manager say that was just the kick you needed to move on and it may end up being your blessing in disguise when you find something and someplace you love.
Work is tough as it is and we American's work ourselves to death compared to most other countries. Why spend it doing something you hate?
Congrats!

They're going to miss you - once you're gone you will be hard to replace; but like you said, you deserve more respect - glad to hear that you made this decision.
Good luck with the new job search kingricefan
