Here's a breakdown of the days that might be the best to do it:

Monday - If you want to stick it to them, this would be the best day to quit as it is the busiest day of the week, especially if you are primarily a dealership or body shop branch. Chances are they will want you to finish out the day though because they will most likely be severely short-staffed. The upside is that the Branch Manager will not have time to take you out for ice cream or lock you in his/her office to talk about how great Enterprise is and why you shouldn't leave.

Tuesday - Not nearly as busy as a Monday until the afternoon when all those cars you rented on the day prior start to come back. If you try to quit early, they will most likely try to keep you there the rest of the day as it gets busier.

Wednesday - I remember this as being one of the slower days, so you might get a free meal out of it should your Branch Manager or Area Manager decide to take you out to lunch to and question why anyone would ever even think about leaving the company.

Thursday - A day in which dealers will try to get customers in cars as they do not want to work on them over the weekend, so it is usually busier than a Wednesday. I would say the same rule applies from Wednesday though. You may get a free meal out of it or at the very least an hour or so away from customers while they try to sell you into staying.

Friday - Weekend specials, last minute dealership customers, and maybe a Happy Hour after work. Usually a pretty brisk day. If you plan to do it this day, go to that Happy Hour after work and mention to everyone that you will not be in Saturday, Monday, or EVER for that matter. Depending on who pays, you may get free drinks out this if that's your thing. The downside to doing this is that they will ask you to come in on Saturday and make it seem like you will be finishing out your two weeks when in reality they are just looking for one more Saturday out of you.

Saturday - Usually quite busy, so they will not have a chance to really sit you down and talk to you during business hours. The problem here is that you may end up staying at the branch well past closing as they try to convince you ERAC is your calling in life.

In short, I would probably do it on a Monday or Friday. Friday is good if you are adament about working the two weeks out (if they allow it). If not, it means no more Monday the next week. Let them know you refuse to work that Saturday if they plan to release you after that. They pulled that with me and made it seem like they were going to allow me to finish out my two weeks. I was told to come in on Saturday and then let go as soon as we closed. The ERAC way is get every last bit of work out of you before you leave. Also, verify how much vacation time you have left because they will pay you for whatever days you have accumulated. I would assume you have earned almost one so far. I would also use your sick time before you leave if you are able.
