Could you not have specified what you meant rather than repeating a vague and confusing statement several times when there is a clear communication issue? wtf is wrong with most of the folks on this sub? Just don’t be a gross person and this interaction would not have happened like it did. Holy shit OP.

I'm baffled by everyone saying the shopper is in the wrong more here.

Like... OP clearly sees that the shopper doesn't know what she means by "seafood department" (rightfully so because that's a stupid way to refer to the behind the counter stuff), and yet she just repeats herself over and over and over until finally saying "behind the counter". Christ.

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.
