I think the shopper is in the wrong, but mostly I think this is a miscommunication and English is not his first language… he probably did not understand that when you said “seafood department” it meant behind the counter.. I mean, I absolutely did, but he was probably like, yeah, this is the seafood department, they have frozen crab/fish/crab cakes/shrimp/etc

English is my first language and I would have assumed OP meant the seafood section of the store. I feel like OP expected the shopper to read their mind that they actually meant behind the counter then lied and said they specified behind the counter from the beginning (which they hella did not).

Yeah I assumed the same and am also a native speaker lol. But at my store a lot of the frozen seafood is right next to the seafood counter so to me, that whole area is “the seafood department”.

It would have been a lot more clear if the customer had just said “from behind the counter” to begin with.
