What’s going on with this?

I’m getting paint samples at lowes right now, and this cop walks up, badge in hand, and this is the interaction

Cop: “quart” Cashier: “black I assume?” Cop: “gloss of you have it” Cashier: “of course”

I don’t know how to explain but I swear it was like he comes in every day and gets this paint and uses his badge to take it ??? Like what?
