One time I saw Alton Brown at Whole Foods. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn't want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, "Oh, like you're doing now?" I was taken aback, and all I could say was "Huh?" but he kept cutting me off and going "huh? huh? huh?" and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off.
When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the door with like fifteen bottles of Rachel Ray EVOO and Emeril creole seasoning without paying. The girl at the exit was very nice about it and professional, and was like "Sir, you need to pay for those first." At first he kept pretending to be tweeting Neil deGrasse Tyson and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and got in line at checkout.
When she took one of the bottles and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually "to prevent any Mallard Reaction," and then turned around and winked at me. I don't even think that's a term. After she scanned all the cases and tried to tell him the total, he kept interrupting her by telling her about that time he was on "Hot Ones".
