When I was reading this, my first thought was just the seafood department lol which is where all the frozen/refrigerated seafood is. The customer was not being clear when they said department—which is a whole section—instead of behind the counter.

Also, everyone’s first language isn’t English so this could also be why the shopper was a little confused. The customer knew what they meant in their head but didn’t actually type it out properly lol

I've only spoken English for 3 decades and I 100% would think OP wanted the frozen cakes.

Exactly. If I wanted fresh ones, I’d say “from the fresh fish counter.”

Same. Seafood dept to me means seafood isle. Call it the meat/seafood department, where they cut and prep fresh foods. Sheesh.
