I take it you haven’t had the opportunity to meet anyone that grew up on the southern USA.
“Get” would be absolutely be colloquial for what you said.

No native English speaker would say “do these get any bigger” rather than “…come any bigger”
So I’m assuming the shopper was a non-native speaker and the shelf stacker was JUST HORRIBLY RACIST OH MY GOD IM SO ANGRY I’M GOING TO WRITE A STRONGLY WORDED LETTER TO SOMEONE

Yeah, I’m honestly shocked he’s never met a person who doesn’t speak perfect English who was native. I was the electronics guy at walmart and the most common question id get about speakers, and the most common wording was ‘do it get loud?’

Can I interest you in a turkey in these trying cums?

As someone whose had the priviledge working both in a call centre & retail for several years… you’re wrong.
Most is local colloquialisms, where regions sometimes substitute words or phrases for others.
And then there’s the “native English speakers” that are straight up idiots, and butchering the language constantly…
The amount of South Londoners that say “arced” instead of “asked” is too damn high.

I’m a native speaker and not an American, but I didnt find this weird. I would probably say “do you have any bigger ones” not ask about the turkey cum.

Tell me you’ve never met an American without telling me.
