While I was looking at the ties a guy (dressed nice) attempted to strike up a conversation with me. Talked a few minutes but was more interested in the ties so finally he walked away. As I was walking thru the store another guy tried to talk to me, I was nice but moved on. As I was in the line to buy the ties a lady started talking to me and finally asked if I was a reseller, I told her no just like to buy ties. Well you may think what is so strange about that, well it may just be a coincidence but all three were African American (not stereotyping nor being a racist). I was thinking they were looking for someone to sell on line for them or really was interested in the ties (don't think so). There was just something not right about the way it happened.

Now if you will excuse me I have to go put on my tin foil hat.
 

Well it does sound weird to me..
 

The guys could've been trying to pick you up.

This is what I was thinking! LOL But the all three talking to you is weird. Now I'm curious. Were they Africans (as in accents) or just African American? And did you have a smart phone out? I'm wondering if you came across as a reseller. Folks stop me all of the time in thrift stores mainly because they see me in them all of the time or because I'm talking to all of the employees, they think I work there. And the regular customers assume I'm a reseller and I tell them I am when they ask.
 

Maybe momma was trying to find her boys a nice picker girl?

If they were they would be kind of kinky since I am a guy and close to 60.

No accent, clear English speaking AA. No smart phone. I was just minding my own business.
 

What was the name of the TS? Have you been in that store before? Maybe they were looking for a "pick up"? Was it one of those "out of the closet" stores? Sounds weird. Go back and see what happens. Lol
