According to the Daily Mail, the actor, who was on the sitcom from 1985 to 1992, was spotted by a local shopper at the store, standing behind one of the checkout counters and wearing a Trader Joe's staff shirt with a name tag that read, "Geoffrey."
The shopper who spotted the actor told the Daily Mail that she was grocery shopping with her wife, the store's security manager, around 7:30 p.m. on Saturday evening when she recognized Owens and took some photos.
"I was just in Trader Joe's and I said to my wife, I said, 'Wait a minute, that's the guy from The Cosby Show,'" Karma Lawrence told the outlet.
She continued, "She looked at him and said, 'It looks like him. He's a little heavier.'"
Convinced it was the actor, Lawrence proceeded to look up photos of the actor online and it was him!
"I pulled up a site on the Internet to look at a picture of him and said, 'That is him,'" she confirmed to Daily Mail. "I have never seen him at Trader Joe's before. I was getting a bunch of groceries and he wasn't really looking at anybody, but he said, 'Have a nice day.'"
