Absolutely shafted at work

I’ve been a very loyal employee in a grocery chains deli department for the last 4 months. I’ve held things down when we had several people leave all around the same time, I close 6 days straight, I do all that is asked of me without missing days or ever being late. I checked next weeks schedule and see a ridiculously minuscule 21 hours (at $13/hr) that genuinely feels like being slapped in the mouth. After I close the department tonight, I don’t foresee myself coming back here. I’m waiting to get hired on in a healthcare position that may still take a few weeks to finish with my background check but I’m willing to be in the hole than to work for a company that does not appreciate me whatsoever.
