Quitting my job in half an hour

Okay, I've worked at a supermarket for about two years. I have a better job, that pays twice as much.
How do I quit? I'm a casual employee, so I'm not sure if a letter of resignation is needed. How do I ask for a reference?
Should I include a letter? Should I quit via my department manager and give the letter to the general manager?
Should I give a reason?

If you're up-front and honest, and say 'Look, I've got another job, and would really like to leave soon. I can, and will work a notice period, but if you could see your way clear to let me go now, that would be ideal.', then you might be surprised at how flexible some employers can be.
Of course, this isn't guarenteed, this is just based on personal experience.

Regarding: Resignation Letter
As of 10/05/09 I will be ending my employment at blah supermarket. I've enjoyed my time at blah and would like to thank you for the opportunity.

egh: My manager isn't even on today, it's almost impossible to go and see him. Would quitting over the phone be lame? If I can't do that, I'll probably have to wait at least a week.
Print a signed letter out stating resignation, hand it into your immediate superior.
As a casual (unless explicitly agreed to otherwise) you can terminate immediately.
He said that he could just take me off the roster, let me keep my discount card, and if I wanted to work on the holidays or something, I wouldn't have to re-apply.
Seems legit to me.
If the manager is nice enough to have ended your contract and also be willing to rehire you at any time, then good!
But if you're still technically an employee then you might get taxed more at your new job, because technically you have two jobs.
this link apparently explains how having a second job affects taxation in australia, but i don't understand legalese so maybe someone else can explain it

As I understand it, you would get taxed less (the $6,000 tax-free threshold) on earnings from your primary employer, that is the employer you earn the most from. So you'd be able to claim that for your new job and anything you earned working odd shifts at the supermarket would be taxed as normal. If you didn't end up earning any money at all from the supermarket job I believe the tax you pay on income for the first job would be unaffected.
If you're telling them your final day will be in 2 weeks and they tell you to leave today, that's considered them firing you. The company doesn't want to fire you. More paperwork for them, opens them up for a lawsuit. Don't worry about this.

usually it's only an issue if your second job is in competition with your primary job. or if you are not getting your work done, they can mandate you quit the other job. but checking is a good idea.
By the time we got home for the break the manager had squeezed him in on the schedule for a few hours.
