Mom and Pop Shops are going to ruin me

I’m going to keep this extremely brief but I think it was a mistake working at my local mom and pop shop. I desperately needed a job around a month and a half ago that was near my campus and she only had 3 workers there, one being her daughter that she doesn’t even pay. 2 of the other workers literally last minute (like two weeks ago lol even though they worked everyday) said they wouldn’t be available for majority of the week anymore and now it’s really just me because I haven’t seen them in 2-3 weeks.
