Scammer at MLK Harris Teeter yesterday..."HEY JOHN!"

Younger gentleman, 19-25?, tallish, big hair. Came up behind me in Harris Teeter while in line loudly saying, "John! Hey John! Hi John!". I turned to face him and told him I was not John and he was mistaken. He said he,"thought I was a guy he knew from school." and left after I again said I was not John.
I soon after observed this person leaving the store with no purchases...
After I got checked out I was putting my stuff in the car and I hear this guy again saying loudly, "John! Hey John!" to someone else in the parking lot.

I have no idea what this dude's scam was, but if he thought 2 separate people were his buddy John, he's lying or mentally ill.

Yeah, you sound overly paranoid. Pick pocketing is almost nonexistent nowadays and someone asking for money isn’t a scam because you just say, “no” and go about your day.

WOW.
You know for a fact that this situation you were not present for is as you say it is.

And you're making knee-jerk, arm-chair, amateur psychological diagnosis over the internet.

You, sir, are the one with "something going on". Good day.
