Is it rude I never give a two weeks notice after quitting minimum wage?

(19M) I’ve been job hopping for the last two years and I usually don’t follow through with my two week resignation due to finding a job quickly afterwards. Will that look bad on my record? Does it even matter?

Have you been exploited by a company as an intern or as a new hired candidate? If yes, how?

I've been interning for a company (remote internship) as a visual designer and I get paid approximately $4.5 an hour, which, I feel is low, even though I'm still an intern. I've been told multiple times that my work rivals even that of seasoned designers who've been working for 10+ years in this field, yet, I feel I'm getting paid peanuts. I work while also managing my uni work and other stuff, so I work only 2 or 3 hours a day. Overall, in a month, it comes down to 55 hours of work, which means I earn approx $250 per month. Compared to the amount of effort I feel I put in, and the mindshare I devote, I feel I'm really getting exploited, but I am not sure if I am really in the wrong here or not!

Looking for advice, help, kind comments, I don’t know.

Hi everyone, I am having an incredibly hard time currently and just want some words of encouragement or maybe advice. I live in Canada, and despite the fact that things are slightly better here for us service workers, it is still difficult as fuck. I work full time at a liquor store for $15/hr and I feel like I’m drowning. I’m getting paid on Friday and my mental health is in the trash, I’m so drained I cry every day going to work. It may not sound like a tough job but I do a ton of work for this store as we’re a small locally owned business and our staff runs the whole thing with no corporation or anything. This is not hate on the liquor store, I love my coworkers dearly and the owners. I’m not sure why I’m so dissatisfied but I just feel like I’m working…

Not sure if this belongs here, but it sure makes me hate work. This is what people have been leaving instead of tips at the bar.
