What should I do if I get into this situation?

Right now I'm applying for a bunch of jobs, ranging from really good jobs to "kinda bad, but I know I'll get accepted"-jobs. Let's say I get hired at the bad job and then all of a sudden the good job finally answers my applications and I get accepted to work at the good job while employed at the bad one?

Is it bad to just leave a job like that because a better opportunity came along? I don't want that following me around like "Anon just randomly quit the job when we needed him!" if future employers look up my job history. That could be really damning toward my future prospects.

If the good job has a significantly higher pay, then I would leave the bad job. Pay would have to be over $5 more.

It's crappy, but you still have to do it. If it's some entry-level retail or food service job, it's very unlikely to follow you, especially if you're diving straight into another job. Apologize profusely, realize they might not accept your apology, and then never look back.

Give both employers 2 weeks notice and they should both respect that

This is America. Get yours. Fuck everyone else. Something else comes along and it won't burn a bridge you think you might need to backtrack onto, let em pound sand.
