"Do you need any help packing your bags, sir?"
No. I’m buying a loaf of bread, a tin of baked beans and a jar of Vaseline.
Do I look that helpless?
Do my hands appear to be crippled with arthritis? No.
Am I 96 years old? No.
Of course I don’t need any fucking help - I’ve got three items.
I don’t even need a bag.
Pay attention.

I'm sure it started out as a genuine attempt by the board to get the POS staff to be more customer focused. By the time it's filtered down through umpteen consultant trainers it dilutes to the crash-team-amber-multiskilled-cashier-crew saying "have a nice day" and in your case "would you like any help with your packing?".
