So I tried to leave - but the door was LOCKED!!! The gal behind the counter was putting the dish of pastries back - and here I am - STUCK at the locked door. I started to panic as I'm thinking I'm going to be locked in all night. What if there was a FIRE!!! OMG!!!!
The distress I felt - the anxiety. I tried to go into work the following day - but just seeing the doorway I freaked out. Now I'm on disability. I'm in the process of working with my lawyer. I heard a similar case where the person received one BILLION dollars, but even that doesn't begin to cover the mental anguish.
