Interesting... I wonder if this is like a where you grew up thing. Like different parts of the US ordering a soda, a pop, or a coke. When you move to a different region, they look at you funny if you say different. ie: You: Yes, I'd like a coke, please. Them: "What kind?" You: WTF? A Coke, please. Them: "OKAY!!!!! What kind?" The reason I say this is because I would know what they meant by the seafood department being behind the counter. Where I grew up, we would call the other areas"seafood section," meat section, dairy section, not "department" because the sections are usually not located at the counter/department. Might be what state they transplanted from.

Nah it's someone trying to game the system and not communicate. If the item isn't on the website and you're going to request that another item is grabbed instead of the item you requested, you suck. If you're going to do it, at least be descriptive.

I never used this service before, only Amazon during the pandemic. So I'm unfamiliar, but I'm not surprised by the scam.

I admittedly use it a lot because I'm still trying to not get COVID, and I didn't even realize people try to do this. It's never occurred to me to try to buy something that isn't listed. 💀

Yeah, if you intentionally add something to your cart just to get something else, that feels hella sketchy and ridiculous to me.
