Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Pennsylvania

In 2005 I was wrongfully accussed for retail theft for gasoline at a Sheetz store. Their employees Id me and it was proven in court that it was not me. At that point in time I was working a full time job until my company that I worked for shut down in June 2008. I have been looking for a job endlessly. A couple of interview I thought for sure I was a shoe in. Well a 1 1/2 years I still have not found a job. Then this interview I went on the Manager was really nice, and she said she had planned on hiring me until. She did a PA Court look up on me and it revealed all of these Retail Theft. listing on my court docket. I explained to her the whole story. She said untlt those were removed she was unable to hire me. So I did my research and yes that was there. I contacted the Magistrates office and they told me I had to contact Expoungement place. So I did that and the lady told me I had to go to Magistrates office get the transcripts take them to Allegheny County court house and to room 114 Give them the transcripts, pay $100 and fill out paperwork send it back to them. Then it would take 9 to 12 months to come off of my records. So, due to Sheetz I probably will be out of a job for another year. I am a bookkeeper and this is so terrible. Not to say how embarass I am and the stress of not having money to pay my bills is unbelievable. Is there any thing that I can do to Sheetz for the following: Defamation or intentional or neglegent of emotional stress that I can sue them for. Especially for them to pay the $100 to get it off of my record. Your help in this matter would greatly help me
