Quit job and I think employer may be pulling a fast one

So here’s a little background. I got hired for a small part time job at a daycare this summer so I could make a little bit of money before I get back to teaching in the fall. About a week into the job I asked if I could receive a larger shirt (as the one they gave me was tight on me) and she basically responded “sorry, we expect or employees to be in a specific shape and you will have to continue to wear what we have given you”.

Sorry for upsetting you and you will still receive your next paycheck”.

Fast forward to today and received this paycheck.

Net pay: 0.00

Gross Earnings: 130.00

Withholding-
Fed income tax: 120.05
Social Security: 8.06
Medicare: 1.89

So my question, is this something that is normal or do you think this is worth mentioning with my former employer? I’ve never ran into this before and feel like I could be getting screwed potentially.
