Take my lid off before fuel?! WTF!

[madmaca]

I never remove my helmet when filling up or paying. Luckily I have only been refused petrol once. And I stood around for a good 5 minutes while the increasingly annoyed till monkey tried to get my attention over the PA system whilst I was wearing ear-plugs... In the end another driver came over to me. So I just jumped back on the bike and flipped the kiosk the bird as i rode off...never been back (my local Sainsbury's by the way).

Like others have said. When they start making boyz in their hoodies and caps, or women in Burkhas removing theirs - THEN I will start removing mine....

i'll take my lid off the day a muslim woman has to show her face to buy petrol

its called equality

i've worked in a petrol station, its the reg. no. you mainly report for a drive off, if they wont authorise the pump, pay them first

I like the idea of tesco pay at pump so i dont have to bother taking the helmet off. TBH if i dont have my headphones on i don't mind taking it off but people tend to get a wee bit more scared when i have my balaclava on. I don't really get any problems up north but have had a few in Glasgow.

tempted to just ignore you but its 2am and im not sleepy at all

[repsolblade]

I wonder what would happen if a Saudi wife walked in with the full head gear on only showing the eyes,

Stuff the lot of them, little hitlers them check out dicks.

[Nixon]

so under your interpretation of equality you see it acceptable that a person should be refused their religus beliefs?

is that what you are saying?

[qthetape]

if i have to show my face for a positive ID then so should everyone (regardless of which fictional book they happen to like)

dont start me on religious beliefs and rights or i may just mention child sex abuse *cough* i mean circumcision(male or female)

lets agree to disagree and live in peace

I always take my time removing/putting on my lid and gloves before/ after filling up at my local filling station because it really annoys the chavs in the banged out nova queing behind

I never take mine off before paying. Rude... rude is the foreigners who dont speak 2 words of english and never say hello or goodbye. (when i pay for petrol in my car)

I would like to mention that I agree with most of what you are saying. One rule for one, one rule for another. The idea is ridiculous and annoying.

But I want to also point out that you are complaining about the time it takes, but the time you spent argueing or riding to the next petrol station surely is greater?

It doesn't add up to me.

That's pretty stupid as surely if you have come in on a motorbike you are 16 or over.

You could wear a veil underneath so when they tell you take your helmet off they still can't see your face.
