You have to also consider the fact that they get people who almost always steal from them. Now weather the approach was right or wrong or even how you took the accusation is a different issue. To me it sounds wrong, but I wasn't there and customer is presumably always right. I couldn't say.
I would call the corporate office and make a complaint about this person you can get their number from Home Depot store or Google it.
