If you read carefully, you'll see that the sentence in which that phrase occurs doesn't make sense grammatically. A literal reading indicates that the manager was refused help by another clerk. Given the nature of the question, there is nothing there to suggest the poster isn't a clerk as well.

If you are a customer, there is no law against staring, pointing or saying, "great headlights, *****!"
Not strictly true, IMHO. An employee has the right to expect their manager to ensure that even customers are not permitted to create an offensive or intimidating work environment. All the manager may be able to do is ban the offending customer from the store, but he/she would be legally entitled to take that action if necessary to protect the employee from harassment.

If the store manager openly and falsely accused the thread starter of being some sort of sex offender in front of witnesses, tdekany may have a cause of action against him and possibly the business. Proving damages may be tough.

The first rule to remember is:

DO NOT ASK FOR LEGAL ADVICE REGARDING THIS SORT OF THING ON A DETAILING FORUM. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!!!!
I couldn't agree more.
