I want to take off at the last week of August after working there for a year. The thing is there is no form we need to fill out and since the manager is busy all the time I was thinking about leaving a note in his office.

Does he have a company mail box? I'd put it there instead of on his desk. And I would type it up neatly in office memo form on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper.
You need to talk to HR about the policy for requesting vacation time. No you cannot just leave a note. Most places require that vacation time be requested and approved.
Knowing what kind of work you do might be more helpful.
Did you make it clear that you wanted that week? The following Monday is Labor Day. Busy time for supermarkets.
Is it part of a chain or a small local ownership?
And who told you it would be OK to leave a note?
The days BEFORE Labor Day will be busy as people shop ahead. You'd better ask ASAP and not be disappointed if you are turned down because other employees asked first.
NO, NO and no, about just leaving a note, a manager can not be that hard to talk to, and the days around holiday will be almost always senior people wanting off.
If you leave a note, it should only e that you need to talk to him,
Then there should be a corporate HR department you can contact, as well as a written policy on how to apply for time off. So you contact them.
Your friend gave you bad advice. You can leave him a note asking for an appointment to discuss vacation time. Even give possible times. But nothing more than that. But before you do, contact HR.
You need to talk with someone and know for positive you are cleared for the vacation. Otherwise they can brush it off and act like they never heard anything. They can say someone else requested the Same time off and followed procedure. Its best to give at least a week or 2 notice before the day they write up the schedule.
