I dunno if I'd assume the mixup was deliberate. That's not the kind of ruse rand-and-file floor staff are likely to pull -a manager or owner perhaps, but not likely a "I get paid by the hour" floor jockey.

I am by no means defending them on this. It was sloppy business at best but it seems unlikely they had a plan. Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if the person hadn't even realized which fish you were talking about; it's just that kind of place.
