Bloody tesco's staff telling me off! :(

[dodsi]

I just got told off at tesco for Riding my bike "too fast" through their car park...

15mph is not too fast in a straight line as I had come around their overly tight corner at like 5mph and accelerated from it. Not fast upto 15mph ish to keep my balance...

As I go into the store to pick up some bits n peices some jumped up cow shouted at me "will you slow down in the car park" I ignored her and walked into the store, then on the way out the security guard there said "can I have a word" to Which I replied "sure" he said "you were a bit loud going down there"

I just said "Its a bike they are much louder than cars" and "how is 15mph too fast" I got annoyed and just walked off as they had no real answer to what I had said and I didnt have the time or patience to argue with them.

[TheShaggyDA]

You need to go 15mph to keep your balance?

[dodsi]

well no, it was how I accelerated out of the corner. and then slowed down to park.

[Jon]

Sounds like a nice smokey burnout bouncing off the rev limiter right outside the entrance is needed

[dainesefreak]

When asked "can I have a word" I would have said "no" and kept walking.

[Rift.]

Yeh people are rude/ignorant as they dont ride bikes themselves...they dont know how it goes!!

and if i were the security guard i would be asking for a ride with you...lol

did you go into the shop aswell??

bah, my tesco dont care. We had a troop of gixxers outside the store all 'warm' their bikes enthusiastically in unison. And aslso cos we have so much traffic and i was late for work, i opnce went down some pedestrian footpath thing at about 40-50 odd. And no one complained. And i used to always do a few wheelies before work, again no one complained.

I think you just went to a stuck up tesco.

It boils my piss reading this. I've had similar experiences when I was at sainsburys a friend spotted me in a car and doing the usual WAHEY! and revving his engine bit and then drove off. A minute later a manager from the store came out scremaing this isn't a racetrack in a very ride manner to me. I told him that it wasn't me and it was him over their but just ignored wat i was saying. So I gave him the same aggression by telling him to fuck off in hs face and to get a life in which he was speechless as he realised he couldn't do fuck all.

Typically car parks have a 5mph speed limit. Normally no one pays any attention to this.

They are no doubt keen to get accross to all young people that speeding int heir carpark will not be tolerated in an attempt to stop their carpar turning into one of those boy racer hangouts.

I go to a mates before college, so we ride together, his house is on a dead end road, at the end is bollards and a 10 foot path to the mainroad, so we cut across.

One nosey neighbour stopped walkin the dog to stand and watch and give dirty looks, so we both revved the nuts off our bikes and carried on.

I do security part time at Tesco.

I also tear through the car park like I'm half hour late for work.

Seems like you just got a raw deal.

It's a good idea not to piss off the security person, they're well within their rights to ban you for life just seems like you encountered 2 cocks.

Sounds like you handled it well. I was egged on to wheely through the car park by another security guard.

They're not all wankers, honest!

[Keith]

Balls to them.

They cant really do anything, besides, doesnt it say 'max speed 15mph' on the entrance?

I'll give them something to complain about next time I'm down on the RS.

The Ikea near leeds has a 2 level car park and the bottom level likes to amplify the sound somewhat! Anyway, i rolled to the rear of the car park turned about and decided to see if I could get the holeshot! First gear all the way!! Oh god that was good! People were stunned! Then this 'undercover' wanker in a mondeo busted me for it! It was the usual, "this aint a racetrack"

They can only 'bust' you if you acknowledge their presence. If you act as if they aren't there, there is nothing they can do without calling the police (who will take how long to get there?). Same goes for banning you from the premesis, they can only do that if they know who you are and how will they know unless you tell them?

Peaked cap syndrome.

They remember your face. If in doubt they can go through security camera footage to get a clear picture of you.

The most fun thing is that they can only acuse you of stealing if you are seen to take an item, hide it and leave without paying.
This leaves you free to piss them off by looking dodgy as fuck, putting things in your pockets/bag/helmet etc. So long as you take them out and pay for them at the checkout, you have done NOTHING wrong, and they have spent the past half hur following you around for nothing whist the chav's raid the booze aisle!

Parked my bike in the Oracle shopping centre car park last year in the car section rather than in the motorcycle section which is under the carpark and free. Parked up and some car park attendant person came up to tell me that bikes are not allowed to park in the car park as they've have problems with people coming back to their cars after being out drinking and pushing stuff over. https://www.bikechatforums.com/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif

He wasn't interested in the matter of drunk people returning to their cars, just that I shouldn't leave my bike there!

Might also have something to do with me regulary parking in the car park and following a friends car out under the pay barrier. :P

[dodsi]

How about an official BCF meeting in tesco car park?

That'll show 'em

The phrase you were looking for was 'Fuck of supermarket boy, I don't tell you how to arrange your fruit and veg, so don't you tell me how to ride my bike'.
