How do I get out of my job?

I (23f) work at a wine shop that doubles as a post office in the UK.

Suffice to say after that I lost any interest in going the extra mile like I used to when I started, so now I'm half-arsing it a little.

I have an interview next Tuesday and some other job prospects in town but I'm just beyond done with this place. I feel bad for my coworkers but I'm tired and I want out, and yet I don't even feel as if my employer deserves notice before I leave. What are my options here?
