He seems to be a strait shooter/everything by the books sort of guy so maybe. But, he also did refer to himself as her ***** so I'm not sure

Is this accurate for cliffs?
You spot Cristina
She walks between you and your friend, and you try to introduce yourself
She just blows you off and whips out a cellphone
you are watching each other as she talks on the phone
another manager calls you saying there are two suspicious men in the store
you tell him it's you and your boy
you go up to Cristina and get to explain yourself
racist comments are said
Is that accurate? how were you exactly looking like you were trying to steal?

First thing you need to do is establish a record of a hostile work environment and a pattern of discrimination toward yourself. That starts with written complaints to your hr department. But you will need to be strategic and not tip your hand showing them what your goal is.
You will also need to keep a record of all accounts and have them also on record with your hr department.
Most importantly, you need to keep your job until they force you out. Show that you did what you were supposed to do. Don't give them any legal reason to fire you. Play the game so to speak, but make It clear that you are unhappy in your attitude. I mean don't tell them that you hate it there. Keep that to yourself.
You also need to up your knowledge on their arbitration process. Walmart is a huge corporation and they likely have dealt with similar situations before. Do your Googles on any case history to figure out your course of action. More than likely if similar cases went through arbitration, there may not be too much public info available, but it's worth a shot.
Good luck.

Discrimination lawsuits at work are hard to prove unless the evidence is blatantly obvious. Lots of loopholes for them to use and trust that they'll use them.
File with the EEOC and see what they say--they won't pick up your case unless they think they have a legit chance of winning. Worst case scenario is they say no.
My wife used the EEOC and while she didn't "win", she did get a settlement check. The downside is that she lost her job and can never work there again.

How much was the check and where did she work or at least what type of work did she do

for what it's worth Barney's just settled their discrimination suits for like half a million... maybe you should look into legal action. It sounds like you have a case. Especially with the phone call

Completely accurate. And I'm not exactly sure. I've been trying to figure that out myself. That's why I just assumed that she meant it because of my race. Also, me and my partner are the only two black people in loss prevention throughout the whole market

Not gonna disclose the specifics on here man.
I will say she works in healthcare. And her situation was more harassment that led to discrimination due to whistleblowing, and then retaliation when they randomly moved her to a different (and less desirable) department.

Why didn't she call the manager of loss prevention at your own store?

I have a cousin who worked at a bank of America branch
He was the only white person at the branch. They would constantly call him cracker and white boy and other names. The manager treated him pretty cramps and so did his coworkers.
He actually had great sales numbers, and won some type of award. One day he came in 5 min late and the manager really chewed him out bad, he was upset because this one dude there was like multiple times a week so that was his last straw. He tried to sue but got nowhere lol

If you are in California, you can sue for anything, even without a case. will it hold weight? Maybe maybe not. It's all up to how good your attorney is. I personally think you do.
Mind you these large corporations have attorneys up the Waazoo to deal with these sort of things. Thinking about it now. You looking like you "might" be stealing had nothing to do with her discriminating against you for a job, am I correct? And also being a bigot isn't illegal. Maybe you are better off sending a letter to corporate, questioning the managers "integrity".

No, he quit. This was a few years back, it sucks because he really liked the job
This is the procedure so that companies can promote internally. It's not discrimination as far as I'm aware.

Yeah, I didn't think it was possible to sue and expect to still have a job afterwards. It'd be like trying to get an advance and thinking it'll still be gravy afterwards
If anything, I'm sure it'd be very weird for everybody involved.

Yeah he's got it right. There is no panel interview for an APM... Your interview is typically with the mapm and they decide. They also have to interview up to three internal candidates depending on how many there is from within the company.
