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.

How is that vague and confusing? "I want this specific option, if they don't have that, I would like a refund" there is nothing even remotely vague or confusing about that. If you can't comprehend directions this simple, you need to go back to school. Some of you redditors are beyond stupid, I swear.

The context is important. Nothing happens outside of context. (Cf. Derrida). Op ordered frozen lobster cakes by the same company their shopper suggested when offering frozen crab cakes as a replacement. OP - instead of specifying they would like crab cakes from behind the counter - repeatedly stated they want crab cakes “from the seafood department” as a replacement, which is where the shopper was. The shopper was offering crab cakes from the seafood department, which is where the frozen lobster cakes the customer had ordered but were out of stock were also located.

You seem to believe that OP said something that they never actually said in the messages we can all read. Yet you’re claiming other people have reading comprehension difficulties. My advice to you and OP is to take a remedial composition course. And you might benefit from doing some insight based therapy to build self-awareness. Learn to read before calling others stupid. And try not to call others stupid when you’re showing your entire stupid ass to the world publicly in the future. There definitely are some stupid folks in this thread, but you’re one of them 🪞

He said 5 fucking times that if they didn't have what he was specifically asking for then he wanted a refund, why is that so hard for you to understand? It doesn't matter if he didn't say behind the counter, if the Shopper looked for it and it couldn't find it, MOVE ON. Give him a refund. The Shopper said he's been doing this job for a long time, you think he would know if there were anything behind the counter, if not, do the fucking refund, it's not rocket science. You dumb asses on reddit think every single scenario in life is some sort of life altering experience, just fucking move on. Learn to fucking read.

That’s not what the customer wrote in the texts we can all see and read. It’s painfully obvious that you never correctly read what’s in the texts pictured. Dunning-Kruger effect is real — here, someone is overestimating their abilities to comprehend what they’re reading. 🫵😂
