I suspect that I have come across another shopper once or twice, but I am not sure. I know I would not want to associate with someone that is my competition.
The first time, I had to show the letter in the c-store due to no uniform shirt and nametag and a guy asked me outside what kind of work I did. There was something about this interaction that made me suspect that he knew what was going on.
I was doing a route of different brand gas station shops the second time. On one of my first stops of the day, I saw a guy who stood out with his attire and hair style as I walked into the C-store, I overheard him say something to the cashier about having a certain issue with his credit card. A couple of stops later, I saw the same guy in another C-store repeating the same script. Three hours later I am in a slower line and Mr. I am having an issue using this card repeats the script in the next line. I think it was a Chime branded card. I don't think he ever saw me. I was almost tempted to talk him outside, but figured no reason to waste my time.
It seemed so bizarre that someone having an issue with a credit card would go to different stores. What are the chances that I would run into this person on three of my stops. When I got home, I did look up to see if this was an available shop and couldn't find it still listed anything.
