to be fed up with casual ageism?

Absolutely Wyllow and toscalily.

This person has probably been instructed to stand there and help anyone, busy mum, time poor office worker, older person, younger person, someone whose first language is not English. No doubt all on camera so if they don't help will be pulled up for not doing their job. Just smile and say " I can manage thank you"

Should have gone to ASDA. They don’t have greeters there 😂

Perhaps she was just being kind.
I love offers of help.

I’m always grateful for friendliness and offers of help even if not needed. I never consider such offers to be ageist - don’t look the gift horse in the mouth!

I like it, its a kindness needed or not.
Big smile - "I'm fine with it thanks"

And thankful for offers of carrying to car etc whether or not needed.

For all we know, the assistant has been required to ask those of us a bit older or have disabilities if we'd like a hand to avoid struggling and frustration and feeling inadequate?

Kitty as you said this is a training need.

Sorry. I see this is about ageism.

I loathe those checkouts!
They will often open a new manned checkout if you ask.
