Anything could happen at fuel stations, depends on the staff there. They may be under very strict instructions from a stupid supervisor who has no knowledge of bikes an if they don't follow them they get disciplined.
Some are quite laidback/nice and relaxed (like me, as I work at a Sainsbury's one) and others are incredibly rude.
I remember this one time I was filling up at Morrisons and was told to take off my helmet, he yelled at me, no please and thank you over the tannoy. I wasnb't too sure if he was talking to me at first because its hard to hear everything with my helmet on. Well I did take off my helmet, came inside to pay and the guy looked angry and pissed off, no hello, thanks or goodbye. Ok then, I will fill up elsewhere. That's the only time I ever had to take my helmet off.
Another time, I wanted to fill up a small can of petrol, and I was carrying it in a backpack. They didn't authorise it and said that it was a bit unsafe. Ok fair enough I knew I might be pushing my luck a bit with that anyway, so I came back straight away with my panniers. These are big, hard panniers, not soft ones. Again, they didn't authorise it, said it was too unsafe. They pretty much told me to fuck off despite having zero knowledge of bikes. |

Petrol station near me had a big problem with ride offs, so they asked all motorcyclists to remove helmets and pre-pay for fuel. You know what I did?
I stopped taking my car and bike there. Nipped back after six-seven weeks, all signs etc gone. Normal service resumed.
No need to make a fuss, just stop buying fuel from them. They don't have to sell you fuel, however if you don't want to take your helmet off just don't go there. Heaps of other places that will be fine about it (or use pay at pump). Obviously don't take your car there either. ____________________ My Flickr |

o/p..i've used that a few times
never had issue...but mines a flip lid,
open as i fill
annoying for definite...
but what to do....everyone want's to protect themselves from thieves,
so can see their point.
as others say, poor service ? go elsewhere...
or carry on using and adapt to how they treat you or get stressed out about it...your call
the pay at pump...can't recall the last time i used one (west london)
that was actually in use...??
normally it's a sign to pay at till, or matey calls you to window as you
attempt to insert card at terminal trying to get it to work
as for profits v bike....we aren't that significant in the grand scheme of things...a good number stop riding over the winter, and few stations close because of it..
but if THEY said NO to bikes filing up...
( i think the biking community would give them a good fight...)
but i doubt it will ever come to that..they don't care enough about us to be bothered to plot our downfall.. ____________________ Previous bikes: Suzuki GT250A / Yamaha DT125 / NTV Honda 650 // currently Suzuki RF900 |
