I'm amazed he could find a lawyer who would take the case. Wrongful termination cases are losers from the start, since employers don't have to have a reason to fire "at-will" employees.
There's always a lawyer to take any case. He might be working out of a '78 Buick under a highway overpass somewhere, or a dumpster behind the Kwik-E-Mart, but there's always a lawyer to take a case that 100 before him turned down.
I'm rooting for him, but my guess is that in the legal system the ex-employee will get nowhere, but he gets to drag Walgreens name through the mud for a while, and keeps this in the news. He wants it known that he isn't the bad guy (and he isn't). This incident and how it's interpreted could potentially prevent him from finding work elsewhere. In the end, he'll feel better than if he just walked away, even if it costs him a few bucks. There may even be states that enact laws (one way or another) based on what happened in this incident.
Walgreens can let him go at any time. Unless Walgreens' policy that he violated is ruled illegal, and the policy alone is the reason he was fired, he's out of luck unless they throw him a few bucks to make this go away, which they very well could do.
