I’m conflicted about not showing up on my last scheduled day at my soon-to-be ex job

Tomorrow is supposed to be my last day there. It's taken a lot of restraint to not walk out in frustration for the last few shifts. This place has so many fucking problems with it, such as some labor law violations, along with overall workplace hostility I've had to deal with because of my nuerodivergence. The latter is due to some hearing issues (likely an auditory processing disorder) and social awkwardness I can't hide very well in stressful situations. Just today, I seriously think I heard my manager make a comment mocking my hearing problems. Unfortunately I can't totally know for sure becauseof said hearing problems, but I heard my name and “getting more deaf every day” used in the same sentence, so I have good reason to think it was about me. I already locked down a new job and have already started there this week, the only reason…

Unfortunately I can't totally know for sure becauseof said hearing problems, but I heard my name and “getting more deaf every day” used in the same sentence, so I have good reason to think it was about me.

I already locked down a new job and have already started there this week, the only reason I'd have to go step back into this dumpster is to pick up my final paycheck. Of course I know no matter what they have to give me my check, but there's something in me that's worried if I don't show up, something bad will happen to that check. I have OCD, it could just be the OCD talking, but I feel like I can't 100% trust that they won't try to turn my last paycheck into a struggle. I've mentioned before that an ex-employee accused them of not paying her for training hours, so that is also playing through my head again as a “what if this all goes horribly fucked up” scenario. I'm broke as hell right now, so I can't afford to lose those 2 weeks of pay.

I'm probably not gonna show up if I'm being serious. I don't see a reason to take anymore shit from these people. I guess I just need reassurance that I'm not about to make a terrible decision. I also don't really wanna be forced to work around someone they just rehired, who I'm pretty sure was fired last year for hostility (not entirely sure if it's the same person, because we've had lots of people with the same name, but this person is well-liked by a lot of the staff). Should I even call out rather than be a whole “no show”?
