Beggar at the Target on Siegen Ln and I-10 - anyone else encountered?

Drove to the Target on Siegen and I-10 and parked in the lot and started making my way to the entrance where a beggar out of no where comes up to me with some sob story about how he is trying to get back to New Orleans but doesn't have enough money for gas in his car. I told him I have no cash on me thinking that would be enough to get him off my back but he said "No problem there is an ATM inside and kept following me". I thought ignoring him would get him to go away but he literally followed me into the store and all the way to the grocery aisles where I was going.

Then I told him I am not giving him any money and he said "Why you gotta treat a man in need like that". I told him to leave me alone or I am getting store security and he told me "frick you, hoe arse" and left the store.

I went on my way and as I was leaving saw him leaving with a 12 pack of Fanta Orange and a large bag of Cheetos Puffs. I tried to get him to make eye contact with me but he didn't return the glance. He then stashed these items in a large duffel bag he had, slid it underneath a shopping cart and approached another potential victim for his scheme.
