Got asked to smell cologne sample in Target bathroom of Memorial City Mall

As the title says. I am not from here, as I am visiting family from California. I was in the bathroom in Target of Memorial City Mall. There’s a guy standing in a stall not making any noise at all, didn’t think anything of it. Once it was just me and him in the bathroom alone, he comes out and comes to the sinks where I’m at and pulls out a cologne sample from his backpack and asks me if it smells good. I grab it and pretend to smell and hand it back to him saying it smells good. Honestly should’ve have even grabbed it looking back, but I was just so shocked. I left pretty quickly after that. He was straight up just standing over a sink with his brand new $250 BR540 he just bought from Macys in the Target restroom. Im really into fragrance so I didn’t think anything of it at first but got pretty sketched out after putting pieces together. Is this pretty normal or was I tripping to get out of there fast?
