Car stalled- WTF

I was running some errands and when I tried to go from one store to the other, the car just wouldn't idle for ****. I had to rev the engine at stops to keep it from dying (which it did several times). The only thing odd is that I was running the A/C, which I don't do very often. After I finally forced it to the pet store, maybe 15 minutes inside, no weirdness since.
What do you think, known issue, funky anomoly? No code was thrown.

there has been a few times that happened to my car. Some times a restart will do the trick. There have been a few times where the car has died and I reset the fuel pump shut off switch. That fixed the problem.

Bad gas? Maybe it's not bumping the idle with the A/C on as it should? Curious that it cleared up on it's own. Maybe it was upset that you drove right past the autoparts store without stopping and buying it a treat.

It's probably a bad TB motor.

Honestly, I was going from Pep Boys to Pet Smart! I just got some new wipers. Motor is bone stock, but it did act like it wasn't bumping the idle with the AC on, but it still died a couple of times after I turned off the AC. Really strange, but it hasn't done it again
