Honestly, I've done it my whole life
I can’t sit in a restaurant if I’m not facing the door. When I was in 4th grade there was a mass shooting at restaurant that terrified me. I didn’t remember the details for years, only that somebody went into a restaurant and shot a bunch of people, and I’ve had to face the door ever since. So I looked it up: San Ysidro MacDonalds in 1984. It’s so much worse now, but this has been happening in this country my whole life (see also, Luby’s in Texas in ‘91).
