Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

Do I have a case for defamation when the retail clerk at the local market says out loud for all to hear, your card is no good , then, says sir your (debit) card is a fraud ! But when I checked at the near ATM the receipt read, card is invalid, not a fraud like the clerk stated . I was humiliated and made to feel like a criminal.

Thank you , jaaybird
