Leaving the dispensing nozzle on the ground is not fair on the pump jockeys if it's their manager who makes the rools.
To get to that bastirt one just doesn't give hom/her/he/she/it a sale.
They will feel not getting to sell 3 gallons of petrol to someone. ____________________ Disclaimer: The comments above may be predicted text and not necessarily the opinion of MCN. |

It does seem kind of daft 'enforcing' this when I can walk in with a hood up and/or hat on, wearing shades and a face mask
(which for some sodding reason are still being worn indoors and out), or a balaclava, maybe a burkha and not be challenged
at all. It's just as likely to be a person paying with a stolen debit card or driving a dodgy vehicle with false plates about to fill
up and drive off without paying at all. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

He boasts about loudly talking on his phone in public with the loudspeaker on. I mean, the guy deserves a slap for that alone. Let alone throwing a little tantrum when someone asks him to switch his phone off while filling up. ____________________ Bikes: Previous Bikes: Piaggio x8 125: 2012/2013, YBR 125: 2013/2013 BMW R1150GS 2013/2017, Honda CBR600RR 2017/2017, Honda CB500 2018/2018, Suzuiki Address 110cc 2019/2020, BMW R1200GS 2021-2023

Because you're obviously not one. You use the term in a way that doesnt include you. Emphasis on *you* used the term in that way.
Now, stop your asinine bullshit for a second and think. Where do you put your mandatory safety equipment, that probably cost you £300+? On the pump shelf? Might want to take a look, they're manky, and your lid will stink of petrol. On the bars? Mate had one get robbed off them in broad daylight. Keep it in your hand? Good luck filling up one handed.
As for corporate policy, if enough people call bullshit enough to hit the bottom line, it'll change very quickly. And if you care to read back through the thread, you'll find I've been the pump jockey. As I said then, it's vans with IBC's in the back you need to watch for, not a bike with a 20L tank. Stop being an overconfident prick and use your head eh? |
How about on the seat? Lol.
I get mad at people treating people with disrespect for no good reason.
Your 100% right if enough people call this shit out it may well change. But taking it out on the clerk or checkout assistant will achieve nothing. Even if it makes you feel better at the time by belittling someone else.
Also I think my tank is like 30 odd litres lol.
This anger at fuel station clerks who lets be real are the ones that get the grief just seems unfair. This attitude just reminds of the self righteous lycra brigade on their pedal bikes who get mad when anyone dares to overtake them without a 10ft gap. As a biker I not want to be associated with them at all.
i.e this idiot getting mad over a dustbin lorry doing its job. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9abO8J3mPE ____________________ Bikes: Previous Bikes: Piaggio x8 125: 2012/2013, YBR 125: 2013/2013 BMW R1150GS 2013/2017, Honda CBR600RR 2017/2017, Honda CB500 2018/2018, Suzuiki Address 110cc 2019/2020, BMW R1200GS 2021-2023

It's not without reason. It's not what they're saying, it's how theyre saying it and treating us. Not a single person here thinks it's the attendant setting the policy, although it does happen the odd one gets all anal and tries it. It's the way they assume you're a thief. it comes over in the actions and mannerisms when you have an interation. "I'm sorry mate, head office calls this, it's silly" is not a difficult sentence and easily stops any potential nastiness.

Will change, not may well. Bottom line is everything.
adam277 wrote: | Also I think my tank is like 30 odd litres lol. |
You're an outlier, and probably on a lardy tourer. either way, a bike tank of any size isn't the usual several hundred litres they bilk before the pump gets shuit off by suspicious staff.
adam277 wrote: | pedal bikes who get mad when anyone dares to overtake them without a 10ft gap. |
More like 5ft. And rightly so. Everyone on two wheels get's pissed off by close passes by oblivious spunktrumpets, engine or not. Before you start on about me being a lycra wonder, I havent sat on an unpowered bike in something like 3 decades.
Think before you wade, bull in a china shop style, into a discussion. We may be bikers, but it doesn't mean we're retarded fucks that can't present logical, cogent reasoning. You on the other hand... notsomuch. ____________________ '98 VFR800 (touring) - '12 VFR800 Crosrunner (Commuting) - '01 KDX220 (Big Green Antisocial Machine) |

There is no reason to throw the petrol pump on the floor like a child.
And although there is no safety issue in talking loudly on your phone (with loudspeaker on) while filling up it is inconsiderate.
I noticed you have not tried to defend these actions yourself. So, I do not see the issue in me calling them out for what they are. ____________________ Bikes: Previous Bikes: Piaggio x8 125: 2012/2013, YBR 125: 2013/2013 BMW R1150GS 2013/2017, Honda CBR600RR 2017/2017, Honda CB500 2018/2018, Suzuiki Address 110cc 2019/2020, BMW R1200GS 2021-2023

Whats wrong with loudspeaker, got helmet on, not taking off gloves and shit to take my helmet off to answer a call.
Its not inconsiderate, maybe for you, but from the sounds of it you are as fun as herpes, so I don't expect you to understand that some people use loudspeaker
What a miserable fucking knob end you are, BMW rider at that. I can smell you typing furiously now to get your point across |
