That's the first thing Scott says because 1) the guy's in these old-ass clothes; 2) he has the whole facial hair thing going on, even if it's the wrong kind of facial hair; and 3) he's a pretty shitty conversationalist, to begin with.
It's just comforting in some schadenfraude-esque way to know that there's someone in this shiny, technologically-enhanced city that is maybe more lost than he is. Scott's not that nice a guy; he's nice, but not nice enough to approach total strangers without some veritable reason. Anyway, the point is: the stranger looks more out of place than him, so here Scott is being a tool.
He offers a short smile, but doesn't sit immediately. "If you're not trying to attract any attention, you're doing kind of a crap job at it."
