if they authorise the pump then they should serve you.
if they dont want to accept payment that's their loss and your profit.
if they wont switch the pump on just leave the nozzle on the floor & ride off to the next station.

Only been asked once myself - but I had my earplugs in so I could quite hear what they were on about - after gesticulating that I was 'deaf' they happily served me - no big deal

Mostly try and fill at pay-at-pump stations so it doesn't become an issue to stress about

Timbo, next time they ask you just say ok. i'll take everything off eh.
completely strip naked at the till.
they wont ever ask again lol! :lol:

soon as you pull up to the pump your reg is recorded before they authorise the pump. no need to see your face, it's bollox.
(i dont mean your face is bollox, i mean the whole 'remove your lid' thing is bollox)

This happened to me once , I thought this funny so I decieded to remove my helemt as asked by the cashier. He didnt know what to say when I took it off as I had a full balaclava on underneath and he could still only see my eyes. Actually made me look more like a robber than with the helmet on . :D :D :D .

My arguement is, do they ask people to remove wigs, large sunglasses , and hats. What about these foreigners who are totally covered from head to toe apart from there eyes. Do they refuse to server them. NO of course not as they would get done for discrimination wouldnt they. :evil:

Go inside, tell them your fingers are so cold you can't undo it, and would they please come round the front of the till and help by undoing it.







if they do, tell them you also need a wee.

That doesn't cater for stolen bikes though does it ?

my point is that when you pull up at the forecourt, your reg is recorded on camera and they authorise the pump & it resets to zero etc.
at that point you can put fuel in your bike . car . petrol can or whatever whatever.
then you go in the station and they refuse to serve you with a helmet on.
i say, but you have already served me. you served me when you authorised the pump.
i am just here to pay for my fuel - are you saying you refuse to accept payment from me?? preferably right in front of the camera.
if they refuse to accept your payment, great. ride away.

if they have issues with your robber disguise then they should not switch the pump on and tell you over the tannoy, in which case i will use the next station.


have a look next time you go for fuel... there is usually a list of plates & descriptions of drive offs.... i haven't ever seen a bike on them yet, usually it's vans and saxos & stuff.

and yes i get annoyed that muslim women wearing peepy hole bags on their heads do not have to remove their disguise - it could be osama bin laden under there ffs
also those wearing hoodies or sunglasses... where do you draw the line....

last week my fone rang while i was in the queue for fuel and i had my gloves on so asked a woman behind if she'd mind reaching it out of my inside pocket - she was quite chuffed, copped a feel of my moobs and remarked how i was lovely & warm :Beer Popcorn:
