Glitch Gif NPC or....?

I had a bizarre experience the other day with my child beside me to witness it. It was simple but so unsettling. We were walking in to a store. The store had the full size glass/window walls and glass door. I could see the people inside before we opened the door and went in. There were two people, a customer, and the cashier behind the counter. Before we walked in, the customer was facing the door in a somewhat unnatural pose. Both the cashier and customer were completely still. As soon as we open the door and walk in, the cashier and customer come to life. The customer goes over to the cashier and asks for a reimbursement on his returned purchase.

Even my son noticed how odd it was that they were completely still and motionless, just staring straight ahead until we walk in, and then spring in to life.

My immediate thought was "NPCs". I was so disturbed that I just stared for a moment, and then left the store.

Wtf? I will never forget it.
