If my employer told me that I would be receiving a promotion and gave it to someone else is there anything I can do about it?
After an overdue evaluation, my CSM told me that I had been recommended for a promotion and offered the promotion to me. When I accepted he talked to me about scheduling training hours and a raise. He told my coworkers about the promotion and after 3 months of him promising to get me training hours I found out last night that someone else is now training for the position. I feel embarrassed to even walk in the store now.

If you were promised a promotion with a presumed increased pay raise but never actually received the promotion, there is nothing that you can do about it under the law. The reason is that you simply never received what you thought you were to receive.
Given the poor business judgment by your CSM and the way matters were handled, you might consider what transpired a wake up call for you to look elsewhere and perhaps better your situation.
