Can you link us to the interchange between Floyd and Chauvin at the nightclub where they were both employed? I can't find a trace of that. It must have been removed from on line sources for some reason.
I have seen no records of any "interchange" between the two and believe it to be contrived reporting. This is from the earliest reports (pre-scrubbing):

Andrea Jenkins, vice president of Minneapolis City Council, told MSNBC the two men worked at the restaurant together for 17 years, and that Chauvin knew Floyd—but Santamaria’s account (club owner) contradicts Jenkins’ statement, and Floyd reportedly only moved to Minneapolis around 2014, according to friends of Floyd.

While Chauvin’s off-duty job at the El Nuevo Rodeo club stretched over 17 years until a few months ago, Floyd only started working there recently as a bouncer and only worked about a dozen events put on by “African American promoters.”
Santamaria, who sold the venue within the past two months, said she doesn’t believe the two men knew each other prior to their fateful encounter Monday night. If Chauvin had recognized Floyd, she said, “he might have given him a little more mercy.”
