I heard about a time where there were certain workers who couldn't quit. They were called slaves. In many places, it's much more beneficial to be fired than to quit voluntarily.

You don’t need permission to quit, that’s not how jobs work

Everyone’s right. You don’t need permission to quit. Employers always expect you to be loyal to them. As if they’re really doing you a favor letting you work for them. They’d expect you to give them a 2 week notice before quitting. But they can fire you on the spot. I say **** most employers. Why is it a lot of people learn all the lessons of working for other people AFTER they retire or can no longer work? All we can do is to pass the lessons learned to the younger workers.

So he won't let you quit, but he gave you a tip on how to get fired. Sounds like he wants you to collect unemployment? Be a week or two late to your next shift.

"If you wont let me quit I'll show up when I damn well please"

That's funny

Do you not realize you don't need his permission to quit?
