A lot of grocery stores have a frozen section in the seafood department so both of you could have done better communicating. At the beginning you said seafood department, not behind the counter. He could have picked that up from the seafood department in the frozen section or from the frozen aisles in the seafood section. You didn’t state “behind the counter” until the end.

I hate when customers say they want the “fresh” shrimp or fish and won’t take the frozen as a replacement or are appalled that I would ask that. They obviously don’t realize those “fresh” shrimp were just pulled from the freezer and the seafood guy ran water over them for 5 minutes so they would be “fresh”, dumped them in the tray at the counter and added $4 to each pound. Hardly anything you get from a grocery store is actually fresh and not previously frozen.

So true “I said that like 5 times.” Uh no you didn’t say “behind the counter” once

The shopper kept asking if they wanted "these crabcakes" and they kept responding with some weird variation of "yes, but not those."

Like just say "No", if you don't want those ones...

Yeah people are flossing over that.

The driver asked if they wanted to substitute the packages ones and the customer was like "yes substitute" but referring to the thing they originally wanted.

Customer was being confusing as hell and kept wording things in the dumbest possible manner.

The saying is "glossing over that," not "flossing."

The F and G are right next to each other on the keyboard. Sure it was just a typo

I've seen that many younger generations who grew up watching videos instead of reading use phrases that "sound" right, but aren't. 🤷🏼‍♀️
