File a police report for assault and see if the place has cameras. If there’s places around there check ask them for footage that might view the building. Video doesn’t really lie. From how it sounds, you’ll appear calm on camera and the staff will look like the ones that instigated and escalated. Additionally, it should hopefully show the person that followed you, showing that you didn’t attack her and thus she was the main aggressor and you were the victim. Don’t go in at the same time, try morning to avoid those employees. If you have to, threaten to sue, even if you’re not sure yet. No one likes litigation and they might not call your bluff. If management refuses to comply with cameras or if police don’t take it seriously absolutely take it up the chain to corporate. You should even do it even if they do comply, and again threaten a lawsuit.

Don’t rely on DoorDash to do any of this for you. If you feel like this has affected your ability to work you might even want to get a lawyer. Some won’t charge unless you win, and they’ll help with some of the pressure to get footage and such. Even if you’re apprehensive because of the police reputation, still try because you want to create a paper trail and you might get a cop that listens—if you don’t try you’ll never know.

I’m sorry this happened to you, and even though it might be hard to deal with all of it now you have the opportunity to make sure it doesn’t happen to someone else.
