One of them proceeded to starting tapping all across the screen and making my choices for me. At this point I had my first implosion and in very uncertain terms told both of them them to take two steps back, clam up and speak when spoken to.
This is also one of my pet peeves. I like to do things myself if that's what they're designed for, and I hate it when over conscientious staff come over and want to help, and end up doing it for you. I know they're trying to be nice and helpful, but some people are smart enough to "self-service" when it's meant to be self service.
