Am I being discriminated during my internship? jobs

Hello all, I don't know if this is the right place to post this however I will post it unless the Mods say otherwise. I think I'm being discriminated... let me try to make this short. So I've been working here for about 3 1/2 weeks at a shoe warehouse, the first two weeks were cool but since my internship ends on like Sunday, this following one, I've been having issues with the co-workers and I think it's been on purpose.

The first confrontation was a few days ago, I was looking for this shoe for this certain customer. She wanted this Converse shoe that was on the Clearance wall however the shoe was missing in the box. So as a worker, I told her to hold on and look for it. I went in the stock room and I even scanned with my Pocket PC device to locate where this shoe could be. It looks like it was stolen and that was the only shoe they had in that certain size she wanted and style. So, she just left it alone. Then, I went on to another customer who needed help with a shoe, while I am helping him, my supervisor approached me and told me about that "Converse" and I tried to tell him I helped her already and I couldn't find it. So apparently, he thought I lied and wanted me to drop this current customer to help someone else because he thinks I'm lying, I'm trying to tell him it's not available and he still has me searching for it while it doesn't exist. Long story short, I told him about himself and he apologized but what was the need?

Two issues today, I had a customer who was buying a shoe that costs over $100 dollars. We have a current deal going on and it's something like "10% off anything $60 & up ; 20% off anything $99 & up" so I told the customer about it. So minutes later, they call me on the intercom, since I work on the floor and not the cashier, the supervisor told me NOT to tell customers about the coupon HOWEVER we're supposed to, it was confusing and they tried to victimize me as if I did something wrong but I'm doing as the manger told me.

Then later on today, I went on a break 3:00PM PST & came back at 3:25PM PST, it's a 30 min break. I was just placing my items in the refrigerator and then the supervisor, once again, came up to me asking "Where did you get your food from?" And I responded, "I drove to get it." Then he said, "So you know you're not supposed to leave right?" And then I responded "Why not? Everyone leaves to eat." Then he just ran me off saying, "Nah man, you're not supposed to do that. You're going to have to go." So I was confused and just shook, I was trying to understand why and he just kept repeating it. So he removed my two hours of work that I had left and I am at home now.

Questions and responses are needed please. I don't know if this is discrimination, he doesn't like me, or what... The supervisor has been in charge since our manager been on "leave" for two weeks (he comes back tomorrow). Thanks.
