I'll translate what's going on here for you:
An entitled guy goes to a bike shop to get CO2 canisters (used for emergency tire inflation in the case of a flat.) These canisters install into a little bike pump via either a clamping piercing mechanism or a screwing mechanism. He is shown where they are by a worker, then blindly grabs a couple of the wrong ones himself. So he goes back to the shop with the wrong canisters and brings his problem (a tire that won't seat) with him.
Now, depending on the tire and rim that you're trying to seat it onto—this can be an ordeal, even for an experienced mechanic who knows all the tricks. Even getting the tire on the rim can be excruciating when you have a tight combination. Sometimes though, once you get the tire onto the rim, you can't get the tire to inflate fast enough to push the bead onto the rim, which seems to be what was happening here.
So, this guy brings his tire into the shop, hoping to force the shop into doing it for free. (He probably also bought the wrong tire online.) He then helps himself to their equipment (don't do this unless you know that it's ok at this particular shop.) He is struggling (probably not even doing it correctly) when an employee comes over to do it for him. They miraculously do it with ease; now, the entitled guy's ego is bruised, and he takes further offense to the worker's insinuation that he has just done him a favor. How dare he!
At the end of the review, the reviewer goes on to list an insane list of things he feels a bike shop should do for him for free. The most egregious of these is wrapping bar tape, which is an extremely time-consuming service that takes a lot of skilled technique and know-how. Not even every mechanic is a master at wrapping bar tape.
