How do I get my paycheck from a job I just left?

Ok this is kinda stupid but basically I was working as a waiter, and my boss was breaking some labor laws (was paying me $9 even when she had me wash dishes, didn’t let me get tips while I was being trained, and some other bs with the job) so ofc I found a new job and didn’t tell her. Then I’m working on what I thought was gonna be my second to last day, and some guy comes in looking for a job, and she has the nerve to say “You have to be competent, bc nobody I hire these days is competent.” While I’m sitting right there. Ofc to her competent is you go to work for 8 hours and don’t sit down once. So I say (after eating lunch bc free food lol) that I need to go move my car and I’ll be right back. Then…

Then I just walk home bc didn’t even take my car to work that day. Now the problem is I’m not good with social situations. I get anxiety when I have a normal conversation. Now how do I pick up my paycheck? Tbh I doubt it’s even gonna be there, but I’m perfectly fine calling the DoL, especially bc I’ll get the hours I worked washing dishes as minimum wage (it wasn’t just randomly washing some dishes throughout the day, she had me come in on Sundays specifically to wash dishes, although it was only for 2 hours so not even worth the trip lol) but I’m assuming before I call the DoL I have to at least go there and confirm that the check isn’t there or is there and she underpaid me. So how do I do that? Like imma probably die of embarrassment and anxiety.
