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

You can't afford to be distracted for a second with a three year old they are fast! And I would have been holding her hand all the time not let her wander off and get entangled with a worker.

Well what choice did he have if you were just sitting there doing nothing in spite of the fact that you could see your DD was in the way?
