Q: Can I sue Walmart for damages if they employee falsely accused me of stealing?
An employer of their asset protection accused me of stealing an item that I was trying to return at customer service with the receipt. after a verbal back and forth and the employee running to that side door security room that all Walmarts have with my item and my receipt. his supervisor eventually came to investigate and found that he was in the wrong. he also gave me the 800 number to corporate so I can file a complaint which I did. and was told I would have a response within 72 hours which I haven't got. what can I do now as far as compensation for the emotional trauma and the accusations and racial discrimination claim filing to receive some remedy
