I completely agree with you. Unfortunately, sometimes when I'm checking in at US airline kiosks, a "helpful" attendant will come over and start operating the kiosk for me. I can't stand that -- it's the worst of both solutions. For example, when I'm using the kiosk myself, I can take my time browsing the seats that are available and pick the best one. When the attendant is "helping," I feel like I can't explore my options.
