I know graceful quitting isn’t the style of this sub, but I want to quit in style. How would you suggest I do it?

For reference this is an abusive mom n’ pop shop that I’ve worked for for 3.5 years, and the manager has only worked there 2 years. She was hired after me and promoted to manager without it being offered to me because, and I’m quoting my boss: “I thought you didn’t want it.” So I’ve got this great opportunity at a fine dining establishment, but it’s not 100% yet. Once it IS 100% I intend on either quitting without notice or giving them one week. If I get this job I wanna have some time between then and starting so I have more time to research the menu and practice plates and stuff, but I want to give myself a week to just. Exist. I haven’t had more than 5 days off in 10 years, and a whole week would mean the world to me. So how would you go…

So how would you go about doing this? I’m not trying to be especially nice to my employer, but I need those extra 7 days of pay so I can’t just say “fuck you.” You know? Any and all advice is appreciated.
