Finish up the three weeks left then start looking for a new place to work. Get another job next year. One that has more decent people, one that pays better (i can't imagine campus food service paying much), and best of all, looks good on your resume and will give you some more real world office skills. Working in campus dining is doing nothing for you.
Any time anyone complains about anything at work (teaching, retail, food), you put the work down and then say look for new work.

Some people may enjoy what they do. Shakespeare of course had pretty harsh words about lawyers but some still want to be lawyers.

Some people may also find it difficult to join pick up and find a new job. You had a lot of difficulty finding a job yourself from the posts you made on here so maybe you should view your posts through that lens.

Penguins, the problem is more your manager's than yours. If the issue is dealing with an end-of-day time crunch, see if the manager can shift her into something that you guys don't want to do during the day. If her not doing work makes you guys have to pick up the slack then say something about it. Maybe she'll have to clean bathrooms and can't complain that her friends want to hang out if it's at 7AM. If you don't get affected by her just ignore her along with everyone else and she'll leave eventually if she hates it enough or she'll start working harder and try to make nice with people.

Good luck.
