local grocery store for 8 years would not give me my rewards perks. My groceries are paid. Store refuses. Embarrassed m

Question

I have my receipt and copy of debit from my bank account. They made me very uncomfortable like I was a thief the manager kept saying I'm not giving you any rewards until you pay for these groceries which are already paid for I never felt so embarrassed. I just happened to be a licensed and bonded process server in Nebraska. Of course I never mention any of that because has nothing to do with it.

A Nebraska attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for three weeks. In terms of the incident you describe and your chosen categories of Personal Injury and Civil Litigation, it's possible you're thinking along the lines of an emotional distress-distress related caused of action. You mention being so embarrassed. There is a tort cause of action known as intentional infliction of emotional distress. It involves outrageous conduct that results in emotional distress. Without more facts, it's difficult to say if being made to feel uncomfortable rises to that level. I don't see it, based on these facts. Maybe the store could have been more tactful or diplomatic, but what they did doesn't seem to me as something that would be deemed outrageous by a jury. But that's only an individual opinion. Many times, different attorneys could see the same situation with a different point of view. If you consulted with Nebraska attorneys, that could be the most reliable way to evaulate your matter and identify your rights and options. Good luck
