How to quit in a bad situation?

So I've worked this job for almost year now, I've gottena raise during this time but after unexpected expenses and rent going up and the possibility of moving soon, it really doesn't make enough anymore. I got a job offer that starts next Tuesday on the 8th and has training for 5 days a week 30hrs, $15hr training pay, but then goes down to $7hr as a server with projected average of $20-$30hr after the grand opening. And even if I get only the $20hr with those tips then I'd be making a good almost $8 more than what I currently make. I love where I currently work but the schedule never comes out before 1pm on Sunday with the first shift starting Monday morning. So it causes a lot of anxiety of not knowing when I work for so long. They also schedule 12hr shifts for me most of…

I love where I currently work but the schedule never comes out before 1pm on Sunday with the first shift starting Monday morning. So it causes a lot of anxiety of not knowing when I work for so long. They also schedule 12hr shifts for me most of the time, so I was thinking it would be easy to put in a two week notice, but this job can't wait for me for 2 weeks. And I don't know how to put in a 2 week notice but still ask for either only night shifts (training would end at 3:30 and evening shifts at my current job start at 4. But its a 5 min walk so I could do both if needed)

So how would you message your boss in this situation? I really need the better pay, but idk how to quit/change my schedule so quickly without them getting mad at me. Which I guess if they fire me, It would be a wrongful termination, but would be starting a new job almost immediately anyways. Id just feel bad for my coworkers since I'm one of the best workers.
