Quit the stupid job!

You state that you're unhappy at work, even a tad frightened, have a lot of trouble tolerating both employees and customers - all of whom you claim act like jerks - and you're wondering if you should stick around? For what? $8. per hour and all the advancement potential? Really? No, didn't think so. Quit, ASAP and I advise you to never quit and relent unless it involves a raise and/or promotion to stay.

As for the New Jersey people; yeah, it's basically the 'New Yawk' attitutude ('screw you, Jack') and that won't change much unless you relocate back to the south or possibly the midwest.

It should be mentioned that you're working in a mostly blue collar environment and aren't likely to meet the cream of the N. J. humanity crop at Pep Boys - or any other mass-merchandise auto parts store.

Try working at an upscale department store (for the same money, crappy hours, etc) and you may encounter a 'better' type of customer. They'll still be from N.J., probably still a bit rude but at least better dressed. New Jersey isn't the south, as you know know.

I grew up in the Manhattan suburbs and I'm totally familiar with the New Yawk attitude and can handle it just fine but someone from a more genteel part of the country with no experience in this kind of rude behavior as a norm will not be happy. That would be you.

Quit.
