It's normal you want to chuck it, but I suggest you try to hang in there if you can.
The early weeks of any job are almost always especially challenging, but unless it really is a totally shit job or one that you're completely unsuited to do, you'll most likely find that you get into a groove and things get easier. You might not ever find it a blast and wake up every morning eager to get to work, but hopefully it will become at least tolerable.
It can be difficult to avoid focusing on the negative aspects of any job, but a more positive approach is to consider how you can use the job to get you to a better place. In almost every job, there are skills that can be learned and developed. Sometimes it's just things like how to cope with obnoxious co-workers, incompetent supervisors or entitled customers, but all those things are very useful skills.
