Ok, so let me ask you this... what is it exactly that you want them to do or to have happen?
Seriously, beyond a letter of apology, there isn't much that will happen.
Do you seriously want to take them to court and if so, to do what? What would you expect the courts to do about the situation?

I have arrived at that road block.  I belive that when your in the situation you will decide.

I am after true communications from someone at shell that matters.  I really want them to endorse a notice to the public within the local paper type of apoloy.  I want reverse blood in black and white.

Fighters arent welcome in communities any longer ,, that is until you need them. 

sorry, i was in edit mode when you replied.  Anyway, thanks for looking, one day i may calm down and be a litte more ,,,care"less".  perhaps when i die:D

i just cant go down without a fight.

You keep stressing this much over things like this, and you may die sooner than you think. Stress kills, man.  It just ain't worth it.

I personally think it's a small matter that has been made into a large matter.People make mistakes,we all do.I agree with LittleAngel....They did apologize.If we go into a situation with a predetermined idea of the outcome (example...how you want them to apologize),all we are doing is setting ourselves up for disappointment. I would've taken the apology graciously and slept well that night. Not everything is a crisis.It's really small potatoes. We have bigger things in our lives to worry about. Let it go,be the bigger man (so to speak),and move on.Imagine how many hours of your life you've wasted on this subject when you could've used that time for family,or something a lot more productive.Is it REALLY worth all of this for a mistake...which they apologized for,but just not how you thought they should.It was a girl behind the counter.For all the time you've dedicated to this cause here,I'd bet you've let it eat you up more off outside the forum.Find a more productive distraction and get this  out of your head.I wish you were here,I'd smack you on the back of the head (because I care and and believe that even with friends,you have to be clear and honest).You've made mistakes.We all have.It's how we learn to do better.People really make everything so complicated  these days.Stop reading so deep into the matter.It's REALLY simple.A mistake was made...an apology given.Case closed.Walk away from it. Not everything is a conspiracy.Some people need chaos in their life and don't know how to live without it.You may be one of those people.I agree that you have to fight for what you believe in,but,I also think that you have to pick your battles,and some aren't worth the effort. It's not that the small things aren't important....but some aren't worth this kind of action and it's making a huge thing over a small matter.It was a mistake over cigarettes.When there's always an issue at hand to worry about,what's the one thing they ALL have in common....the person having them.Sometimes we have to look at ourselves.

By the way,cigarettes and children are a really bad combination.They don't need it,bad for their little lungs.Bad enough on adults.It's a selfish habit that children shouldn't have to live with. I've seen what it does to people's health,and how bad children's health can suffer from their parent's habits.Think about how much money you'd have without it.Think a little different for a while. Simplify things.Not everything is a big deal or a crisis.Not everything is to worry about. LET IT GO.It takes a lot of effort to be this upset.It's not worth it.I usually stay away from these threads (no matter who makes them),but felt compelled to say something.

To keep things clear....I mean no offense from my comments.They are my opinions,and only mine.Take what you like and leave the rest as I've been taught.

vinnie,  honetly man i can tell straight off that you did not read the exact chain of events.  the girl behind the counter did not cause the problem and yet you say she was.

I am worth it by the way,, perhaps your not worth your own honor.
I wish people would stop saying I am not worth standing up for.  Like it or not, thats what is being said.

when "IT" is refered to as not worth it, "it" happens to be the very problem they caused which is clearly stated. 

I am not stessed about this, i am just treating it like any other project.  it will be completed and ill let you all know how it turns out.

  Agreed they are due a few firings and a public apology IMHO, no less. You won't get that and as my wife says "you need to pick your battles". Sub par humanism is exactly what you should expect unfortunately.

I don't like to cause trouble or anything but isn't this defamation of character? I could be wrong but with them going around telling people you stole from them is not good. I don't blame you one bit for being completely upset over this. I know I would be. It's so hard to get and keep a good reputation and so easy to have it ruined. I hope things work out for you, it's going to be tough though, that's a big corporation.

like i said, the initial mistake wasnt the problem,, its when expert of the store evaluated the situation and determined it was a crime that became the problem.

I was just meaning I didn't want to push or light a bigger fire. Just that I believe in what you're doing.

This is also what I was talking about.You're reading what you want to hear,not always what is being said.You're taking something and picking it apart and buttstuffyzing it til it's so complicated.I didn't say you weren't worth it at all.I think that some situations are made to be bigger than they really are.I can't put words in your mouth or read the thoughts in your head,and it shouldn't be tried by anyone.I also know my own worth and honor.I don't need a piece of paper from a gas station to tell me.Honor and self worth comes from within.I was raised by a career Marine and also served in the military myself,and my career for the past 16+ years is helping Veteran's in need.I understand the whole honor subject.This isn't meant to belittle you,or argue.It's merely a response to a thread placed on this forum.In the end,you have to do what you think is right,but I assumed (yes,I know about "assuming") that you posted this thread originally for responses.I can make no assumptions as to what you need from this,only you can.I hope it works out for you.

No hard feelings,no ill intent.We're just discussing.Got it?

Experts? The people that work in those stores are yahoos. I would never expect anything better than that out of them. That's why they work there.
