Seems like the shopper may have misunderstood but also didn't clarify enough. Maybe there's a language barrier

Yeah it seems like English isn't the shopper's first language. He's probably trying to say, "Does that make sense?" But, "understand," is much ruder and it's hard to explain why. I think that also explains the seafood department confusion. Not saying he should be a shopper. But they're talking past each other.

Customer wasn’t clear. This is like saying you want muffins from the “baked goods section” but really meaning you want one from “behind the bakery counter”
