My opinion, which is worth what you paid for it, is a little different.
First of all, by my calculations, you need to work 25 more 40-hour weeks to hit 6000. That's six months.
After reaching that milestone, no reasonable employer could refuse a request to get a signature indicating your completion of same.
I disagree with some of the other members in that you've established that the head chef knows of the problem, but he isn't going to do anything about it. Therefore, AFTER you have those signatures, my advice would be to relate the problem you're experiencing to him in much the same way that you did here. Additionally, you could have documented the problems that occured during the six-month period, as additional backup to your position.
Your discussion will either improve things, or give you an opportunity to give two weeks' notice.
BTW, I'm an employer, and two weeks normally isn't enough time to get anyone else, but you don't want to quit without notice.
I have definitely seen some bosses who, upon receiving notice, told the people not to come back. They're out there.
So I think it's a little risky to be too up-front about your plans to move on. It all depends on what kind of person you think the head chef is.
