Default .270 win and .270 wsm cartridge question

I went to purchase ammo for my .270 today at a local privately owned super store kinda thing that sells sporting goods, farm supplies and equipment, home stuff, etc. and when I walked up to the sporting goods counter and asked to price some .270 winchester rounds the kid pulls out a box of .270 wsm. It was very apparent that this wasn't what I needed when he opened the box and saw how short and fat the casings were. I told him that wasn't what I was wanting but he argued up and down with me that I was holding a box of .270 win and acted offended when I told him it really wasn't what I wanted.

Now, hopefully I didn't confuse you. This guy made me second guess myself and wonder if both rounds work in a regular ol' savage .270 or did he just not know what he was talking about?

FYI - I just said "thank you" and headed across the street to Walmart where I knew they'd hand me what I asked for hehe.
