Is case in many a station round my way. I know a couple who don't have this policy and so use them even if it means going out of my way. A lot of them around here ask for helmets to be removed before pumps are activated. Feck that in the winter when my snood is tucked in nice and snug.

Few months back was wandering over to my local BP for some cider one early evening.As i approached the garage a couple of young chavs pulled in on scooters with no number plates.You can guess the rest.No problems for me filling up there yet.

So can see why that garage have this policy if it has been a regular occurance.

I try and use supermarkets, so pay at the pump anyway. But if it's not a pay at the pump system that would be a pain as I always pay on card...

I recall doing it once in the car. The woman got a bit snotty because I said I don't know exactly how much it would take. Think I left my driver's licence and credit card with her while I filled up.

Last time I went in the petrol station, he asked me if I wanted a coffee!

I said no, I tend to spill them on the bike...

Its going to be a constant problem as long as scrotes fill up and dont pay, ultimately they are the ones causing this.

As always the answer is just fill up elsewhere if your not happy.
if that cant be done then i'm afraid you'll have to take your lid off :/

Make sure you fill up on the way home from journeys.
nothing worse than putting all your gear on and riding 5 mins to the petrol station just to remove it all again :/
Setting off with a full tank would be easier.

Since returning to riding 3 years ago, I've yet to be asked anywhere I've filled up, and I often rock the 'not road legal'
superdark black visor look. I don't usually get off the bike either until I'm ready to pay. Perhaps I appear honest.

One local-ish station, in a "posh" area, has started to ask all bikes to "remove bike helmet for your own protection", and didn't appreciate being told that bikes do not wear helmets, nor were they impressed that we couldn't understand how we would be "more protected" if we took our lids off. We don't bother going there anymore, no bikers do now. This being N.Wales, that's a fair bit of income in the "riding season" that's being thrown away.

My nearest one, in a bad part of town, that get's bilked all the fucking time, is cool. I think they key to it is that they have good cameras in smart places. Even after changing my bikes a couple of times recently, I still didn't get asked, so it's not just that I'm a local. The 2 supermarkets that are bang outside the really dodgy part of town don't ask.
