Trouble quitting part time job

I've had a part time job in a mini-market type shop for 18 months now but I've become really sick of it all and want to quit soon, especially with exams and the summer coming up.
Anyway my problem is that my boss is really domineering and I know it sounds stupid, but i'm finding it really hard to say I want to leave! I feel like I need a really good reason, certainly one better than it's the summer!
So has anyone been in this kind of situation or have any tips?

My job isn't as formal as that since it's just an independent shop. In fact none of the part time workers have contracts or anything like that and we're paid in cash every week with nothing written down. i don't know if it's illegal or what but it's dodgy anyway.
Yeh so I'm just gonna bite the bullet sometime this week and tell my boss.
I'm scared!! :nervous:
Good Luck
If you decide to tell your boss and he is an arse about it, consider shopping him to the inland revenue!
Yeh you're right, no pay slip except for a couple of time when i started, now it's just a bit of receipt paper with my name on it. I am supposed to be taxed even though i'm still in school, 17 years old and in part time employment? I just assumed I wasn't!
I've got some money saved so for a while at least now i can RELAX!:D
Regardless of whether you are taxed you need a payslip, I get one and I don't pay tax right now either.
And well done for leaving. Seems like it wasn't as hard as you thought!
That wasn't a really good idea you know. You may feel good now but you may need a reference from them in the future and as you didn't work your notice. Also, its not nice for the other workers. I work in a busy cafe where we all have to work as a team. We'd all be fairly upset if someone just walked out before someone new took their place.
