Maintainence man manoeuvred my 3 year old out of the way

Today I was in a bakery with 3year old dd, she went to look at the cakes whilst I ordered. However the maintainence man kept manoeuvring her out of the way back to me whilst I was ordering because there was a vent by her legs. It resulted in dd having a massive meltdown and throwing herself on the floor

On reflection am I being unreasonable to think the maintainence man could have walked me instead of taking ds shoulders and walking her back to me?

At first I was distracted at the till and didn’t realise it was a maintainence person

YABU. You should have held your dd’s hand or picked her up, not let her get in the maintenance man’s way, he was trying to do his job. He is not your babysitter.
