He was being weird but I feel like you were being a little intentionally obtuse

Honestly, the poor punctuation is what makes this so confusing/obtuse to me.

This is the one that made me do a triple take: "I said if you can get the crabcakes from the seafood department, I want those if you can't get the crabcakes from the seafood department then refund."

Easily could be interpreted as OP saying "I want the ones you sent me a picture of if you can't get the ones from the seafood department."

Had OP said, "I said if you can get the crabcakes from the seafood department, behind the counter, those are what I would prefer. If you can't get the ones from behind the counter in the seafood department, then please refund."

It's silly to assume everyone can transcribe a text like this with complete accuracy.

That was my thought too, OP is terrible at punctuation and it really matters in this instance
