I'm not understanding. You're talking, they walk away, then you walk away and they find you and say you are rude for walking away?
I'd cut them off because that sounds like some really weird game playing.
I walk off because I don’t see the point in trying to keep talking to them and they walk away from me as I’m trying to communicate with them.. how is this so hard to understand??
Are they just rude or is it that your not just interesting enough to listen to?
I’ve had some people do this from time to time and I just walk away some come find me and tell me how rude I am to just walk off. I tell them that it was rude of them in the first place to snub me in the first place.
Anyone else experience this, how do you handle it?

I had an acquaintance that did that to a lot of people when I was young. He was quite good looking and knew it. If you were talking to him in a public place he would be looking around to see who was about or if there were anyone else he was more interested in (elite) nearby other than the one he was speaking with. Eventually we had it out about it. He was so focused on himself he didn't even realize he did it. Nor did he care. It wasn't me, neither was it the dozens of other of his "friends". It was him. Narcissist.
If it happened to me with most people that I was ever speaking with, I'd have to check me out.
There’s no failure when your trying to talk to someone and they walk off in mid sentence.
Yes there is. I would never allow that. If I am communicating an important 5 word statement and someone appears not to be listening and moving away, I would get their attention. I would call their name, ask them to stop, make eye contact, and deliver the message.

Do you have their attention before you start speaking? Maybe they didn't even hear you start speaking because you didn't have their attention. Maybe they are hard of hearing. Maybe you speak softly or in a tone that isn't easily heard.
I have trouble hearing people with very low voices and have walked away because I didn't know that they were even speaking to me.

Can’t make someone listen if they don’t want to.

In my OP I had their attention and within a couple of words they walked off. So I kept trying and finally went to the owner and told him what I was trying to communicate with the first person.

I think the part that's surprising some people here, is that the people who walk away from you actually chase you down to tell you, you were rude for giving up when they walked away. lol. It does sound a bit nutty, but some people are aggressive like that. Have you ever told any of these people, when they chase you down to tell you off, that they were the ones who were rude and abandoned the conversation you were trying to have? I'm really curious as to what they would say.
