Poor chap.
I was in the bank a while back, dropping off our company moneys and debating whether I could get to Mexico with the few hundred quid from the till when I was asked by a chap if I needed any help and did I want to pay in using the machine etc, etc. I thanked him politely as I needed to speak to the nice lady at the desk.

He then went away and returned when the queue grew a bit and asked somebody else, only to be cut off halfway through 'would you like any assistance mada...'

'NO I DO NOT! Thank you VERY much young man but I am quite fine by mysel.. blah blah'

He'd only asked some blind lady if she wanted to make her day a bit easier and he got a right bollocking that lasted about two minutes and left the rest of us non-blindies sniggering silently to ourselves as this poor sod went beet red and shrunk away out the back.

As she was still moaning to him about it.

I don't think he'll ever ask again.

He should have just
wandered off and left her ranting to the thin air...

I know the staff are trying to be helpful, but I view the paying in machines as taking someone's job. Same for the self service checkouts in supermarkets.
I never use them for this reason.
Over Christmas I have never seen so many people complaining at the local bank I used, and my local supermarket has loads of self service now and noticeably less staff. :(
