Ideas
Last night after posting the above, I came across a few dozen posts in Answers HQ that reported the same problems with Uni/High School Cafeteria workers not showing up. At least one person posted that it started happening when the Reaper Event launched. This is when my problems started too as it was a new Sim in a new game I created specifically for the Reaper Event.
This morning I did some testing and this is what I found:
I created a new game with a new Sim, sent her to Darby's Den - it worked fine.
I dropped the new Sim into the broken game - no Cafeteria worker.
I then dropped my Sim from the broken game into the new game - Darby's Den worked fine (Cafeteria worker and students showed up normally).
So - it's that saved game that's broken (not the Sim) and it looks like the Reaper Event caused this. Is there any way this can be fixed? Are they working on it?
I'm now worried about loading my saves that preceded the Reaper Event, including a Legacy I've kept going for years, at least until they fix this. If they fix this. And I'm very leery about playing any more Events - which is too bad because as a Sims player since the first day the Sims 1 launched, I was looking forward to the retro fun.

I just had a Sim go to UBrite and this happened. Since he was broke, the lack of a cafeteria worker most days was very felt. 😣
As LascusClyne noted, there were some days when several Sims spawned together when my Sim traveled to Derby’s Den — no cafeteria worker, though. Other days, the place was utterly deserted all day long and my Sim was the only one there.
