I think you definantly overreacted! No matter where you work people are going to say things you don't like. You just don't walk out because of it.

Yes you overreacted. Having been a manager at Applebee's, none of us ate during shift on a Saturday night! Including me. I would (and did) fire people who walked out. They need people they can rely on. Regardless, you need to go to the gm and the manager on duty and apologize. Don't try to rationalize what you did. With that, maybe they won't give you a bad reference for your next job.

I used to be a dishwasher at Applebee's. I was then an assist. cook and a prep cook. I never once ate on my shift and silverware there was always a priority. The waitresses and waiters NEED the silverware. You definitely overreacted. If you felt you were being treated unethically, you should of waited until things cooled down and had a private conversation with your manager. Not only did you just leave a job, you left them stranded at their busiest time. This was not a smart move at all.

Yes you over reacted. The manager acted a bit lit an ass. It sounds like the day was a bit stressful for everyone. You are young but in this economy, when it is harder to find a job, you have to be able to develope a little harder shell. Unless you really hate the job or the manage or you said something really bd, it is possible for you to go back and ask her for a word. Tell her are sorry that you overreacted and know how stressful a night it was. Tell her you would like to continue working if she is willing to give you another chance, but if not you wanted to come in and appologize anyway and see what happens.

You are young and that is what young people do. I walked out on my pizza job when I was 16. Here's the thing: get a reference from another person who works there and not the manager. Next, you were working at Applebees so not a lot of brilliant people running the show, which is part of the problem. Try to be a nanny or find office work. It has its frustrations but will pay more.

Yea, you over reacted just a bit. But I have done that myself.

My last job, my manager never liked me. someone before her hired me. At the time I was hired she was in a position under the manger. So when that person left she got the job. She basically told me she was trying to find a reason to fire me. So I left after work that day and never went back. I told my supervisore that I wont work for her(the manager).

Knew of someone that did it twice , it helped I was a good reference so he got another job.
