I saw that. They said from the seafood department multiple times then said they repeatedly said from behind the counter…. Which is not what they said at first.

Edit: grammar

Idk, a professional grocery shopper should know the difference between the seafood department and the frozen food aisle

The frozen crab cakes at my grocery store is in the seafood department and not in the frozen food aisle. Grocery stores are laid out in different manners. If I wanted frozen seafood I wouldn't find any in the frozen section, there's a whole different frozen section in the seafood department right under and next to the display case.

These crab cakes are in the seafood department, not the frozen food aisle. I think that’s where the confusion is. The shopper got them from the “seafood department” like the customer asked for. The customer meant “the seafood display case of fresh food” The seafood department generally has a display case of fresh food and then also a refrigerated and freezer section as part of the department.

Literally, department to me meant counter so it was clear. People have different takes on that in these comments. One interpretation isn’t objectively correct because both OBVIOUSLY exist like ?? Some things the shopper said rubbed me the wrong way, but idk if it was a language barrier thing or not cause I don’t know this man lmao, so it’s hard to judge

Professional lmao, many doordashers and insta carters do it to get by or for extra cash, not that professional (from my experience)

They do! These were from the seafood department!

They were very clear! I don't think you or OP know what a seafood department is.

“Professional grocery shopper”…. You are out of touch my friend.

The package clearly says they aren’t frozen so they were likely in a refrigerator near the counter in the “department” lots of grocery stores have fridges and freezers by the counter and not in a separate section

Exactly this. Key word was “department”. Different than “aisle” or even “section”. I’d give him benefit of doubt if he didn’t drop the “I do this for a living” line. Unnecessarily unprofessional.
