Meet "Alex From Target" - the internet's latest cyber sensation:

Reports confirm that Twitter user @auscalum first shared this snapshot of the young cashier cutie on November 2. His 15-minutes of fame blew-up from there:

 

Hilarious.

Well, the teen's real name is Alex Christopher LaBeouf, and he's loving the online attention. He's already at 370,000+ followers:

@acl163: "Am i famous now?"

@acl163: "Already fake accounts of me... Now i have to change my number..."

@acl163: "So many followers... You guys are amazing... goodnight."

He later activated an "official" Alex From Target account for his fans... and a website.

Oh, and the Texas native has a girlfriend. Apparently, she's already getting death threats - not cool. But she's enjoying the Twitter love, too:

@lindseydiers_: "THESE PEOPLE NEED TO STFU."

@lindseydiers_: "This is kinda scaring me..."

@lindseydiers_: "Ok people are going way too far with this."
