Screw types

Went to my local fastener suppliers and have asked for this before no questions asked but a new person served me.

I asked for 8 x 6mm 20 mm long Round head Allen head screws. The answer came back "so you want pan head" I said I didn't care as long as they look like round head. I then asked what do you call round head and the answer was "mushroom head"

I must be losing it as terms now seem to change and looking up Dr Google there are dozens of different screw head types.
