Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia

My daughter worked as a bartender at a theater in Virginia and was fired from her job, after have 2 questionable 'warnings' in the past year but making a serious error in judgement when she was out with friends and they brought a bottle of wine in to theater from outside the theater.
Based on things she told me over the past year, I had warned her that one particular manager was out to get her. One incident involved a co-working not following policy on carding every customer, something she was written p for, and this manager told her to drop it, again even though the manager was very firm with my daughter. Another incident involved physical abuse from a co-worker that pushed her and almost knocked her down, this same manager said not to worry about it.
the theater films everything possible in theater.
Is there anything that can be done? Oh, the person that got reinstated was the same one that allowed me in with the bottle

No, based upon these facts, your daughter is likely

without a viable remedy for the situation described (bearing in mind that Virginia

is one the many states that has adopted the employment at will doctrine which

governs a majority of the situations where an employee is discharged without

the protection of a contract or collective bargaining agreement).
