This has been the norm my entire life, and my first min wage job was in the mid 00's, mid 2000's.

Your boss can basically fire you on a whim, in many common scenarios...
But you as an employee are expected to give two weeks notice before you quit.
This is more widespread and isn't unique to min wage service/retail jobs... but this also literally makes no fucking sense and every European I've explained this to has been appalled by the concept.
