It's quite possible, but unlikely, that the nut that holds the lever on the transmission backed off and the lever fell off. Fix time 1 minute labor, zero parts.
There's also a clip on the cable at the trans end for adjustment that could have popped off and allowed the cable to become disconnected. Fix time 1 minute labor, $.29 part most places or $16 at a dealer.
However, with all the continuous manual shifting, I'd suspect other parts.
Those taco joints and Subways are hard on shifters. You either need a driver mod or different food choices.
