grocery store chain when I was a teenager.

I was assaulted in back of the store--while getting carts. It was part of my job to gather the carts. There was one other girl that worked there and we both complained about having to go back there--there was a very bad neighborhood right behind.

One day when I was back there a group of guys grabbed me tore my shirt bashed my face, thank God a guy who worked there drove in that way and was able to stop it before it went any further.

I ended up going and working at another store, I couldn't step foot in there again.

I never thought to take legal action. This was 30 years ago, so who knows if I could have done anything.
