From the limited amount of information here, you may have a case, but that's the hard way to go.
How about picketing the store instead, as being racially unfair? Do it properly, within the law, but get some attention for this issue. The other stores in the area will take notice too.
If she was the manager, write to the owner or any other boss she has, protesting these actions, and demand an apology.
Just because this happens all the time, doesn't mean you should have to put up with it. Follow Martin Luther King's example and peacefully protest unfair treatment.

I am not a lawyer however it appears you may have a case. I would consult with one to find out if it's worth pursuing.

Yes you can. If there was a camera in there you have indisputable evidence!
