Why I hated retail customers blame you for asking if they need help,or blame you for ignoring them...my pet hate ...sarcastic customers ....

It's not as polite as a direct offer of help is it e.g. Can I help you in any way?

Waitresses say something similar when supposedly checking the meal is ok :Is everything alright for you both?

I'm always tempted to answer, "No, I think I'll be better over there."

Is it just me, or are there others out there who cannot stand shop assistants who, instead of asking if I need any help, or am happy just browsing, say "ARE YOU ALRIGHT THERE?" I swear one day I will answer "No, actually, I am about to drop to the floor with a heart attack, are you a trained first-aider" Also, when people say "I'm fine" when asked if they would like, say, another cup of tea. I didn't ask how you were, I asked if you wanted another drink! Maybe I should just accept this is 21st century speak!
