You can NOT accuse anyone of shop lifting. The Loss prevention employee's jobs are to remember who they think stole somethjing and then later they review security tape and then go to the police then.
Pretty common practice in all stors

Home Depot would be on the line big time liability wise.
If they don't fire the employees for doing this, then their "policy" is worthless and they wouldn't have any liability shield.
