Carleen Acevedo was fired from Home Depot last July for "creating a security or loss prevention risk" She says she felt scared and intimidated by the person at her register, who was paying with a suspicious card.

Incident happened at the San Ramon Home Depot three months after a loss prevention officer was shot and killed.

"I lost so much. I lost my health care. My health declined as a result of that. I had difficulty finding work and paying my rent was put into question".
