Is this an form of slander and worth pursuing?

I recently went into a Kroger to purchase some roses for an employee's birthday and found one dz were marked down so i decided to buy two dz. Since i was in a hurry i grab both dz and put them in one bag, as i preceded to bag them the florist came up to me and suggested i put them in separate bags. I am by no means a floral expert, so i thought maybe they would get damaged in one bag so i separated them. Well in the xpress lane i made two transactions, i paid for one dz with my debit card and the other dz with cash. After i return to work someone from Kroger called and ask for a manager which in this case was me. she preceded to tell me one of my employees had been in to purchase roses but only scan and payed for one. I then told her that she was mistaken i was the employee and had made two separate transactions. She then apologized and said the florist came and asked her about me and the roses. Well i went back and spoken with one of the asst. managers and he also apologized and gave me some coupons. Well after this i called the 1-800 no. and they had the head manager call back with the same routine, my thing is these people call my job and accused me of stealing a marked down dz of roses my general manager could have fired me on the spot if he thought i was taken store money and not using it correctly. is this a form of slander?

No as your reputation was not damaged. The clerk just got screwed up when ringing out the transaction. You had kept your receipt and could prove you had purchased both dozen roses in two seperate transactions. They just made a stupid mistake. They are idots to put it mildly. The store manager really made a boo boo and tried to make it all better with you by giving you the coupons. Now, had you actually been fired due to this incident, you would have something to complain about but since there was no actual damage, then the answer is no.

No slander done here. If your store manager would have even approached you about this you could easily verify two separate purchases. It just one of those stupid mistakes.

NO, the store manager was investigating a possible theft, they have full right to question you about this.

** I do woder why you paid for one one way and one another, sounds stange and would perhaps be the reason for the questioning.
