Is it bad form to want to cut my own stick? The way the worker voiced himself just struck me as very odd.

One concern is if you cut yourself using their cutter, you may go after them in court. So there is some liability issues. Some B&M's insist on cutting. If one of their employees cuts a finger off, it is handed differently. It could be they just really wanted you to know they are there for you. I wouldn't read too much into it if their other services are good.
But I prefer to cut mine too.
