never been asked to remove my helmet for fuel once... in the UK or mainland Europe...I think some of you foccers just look dodgy!
I just take off my lid to fill up then put it back on and go and pay. The reason they ask you to take it off is that if one of us were to foc off without paying the cashier has to pay the fuel loss out of there wages which I think is very unfair.

I get that Exup but if I drove my car in with a sodding great beard, sunglasses and baseball cap on you just know you'd get served....or even anyone wearing a Burka. Remove it wouldn't even be mentioned. So, discrimination for NOT being of a certain religion or looking like a hillbilly??Wasn't in the mood to go and argue the toss with the bloke and we're not talking about a young girl on her own in a remote filling station who would be scared - I get that and would remove my helmet. This garage is well used, well lit and on a main drag. I've also used this same garage 2/3 times a week for the last 13yrs so not happy in the slightest - only filled up there with no issue on Tuesday at similar time of 6pm. Am off today so going back tonight when hopefully the same bellend is on shift to ask what the crack is.

Wear one of these under your lid. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Meltdown-Mask-Burned-Melted-Skin-Fancy-Dress-Halloween-Adult-Costume-Accessory/251659858731?_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131017132637%26meid%3De794201c53584cbdaa344b9b6dbce33d%26pid%3D100033%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D251659858731
Can't find any recent up to date info, other than some Tory politician who wanted to ban the burka but in doing so would mean lids being removed too so as not to be biased.Our politicians are too weak to ban anything remotely muslim so that won't ever happen.That's not to say a garage worker using their own discretion can simply refuse to turn the pump on if they don't like the look of you, which i think is what you or me would do too if you were in their position.What i tend to do is not look at them whilst waiting for the pump to be turned on to lessen the chance of them asking me to remove it.I s'pose you have to remember it only takes one wanker to go into a garage and do something silly wearing a crash helmet and it will totally spoil it for everyone else. For all you know the young person in the shop could've been robbed the week before, so you can't go too hard on them if they ask you to remove it, even if it is an inconvenience.
The worst stories I have heard of are the ones where the cashier lets you fill up with the lid on, lets you queue up with your lid on but then refuses to take your CASH until you take off the helmet. That is just power crazy.
Not often I swear on a public site but this quote from Frosties, referring to people looking dodgy and taking helmets off is an absolute fucking stunner.Could be right fella - 3 or 4 young lads on motocross 125's I can understand but a guy in Rukka gear on a CBF.I'm lost for words, please someone tell me I'm reading this wrong.3 or 4 young lads on motocross 125's ...... according to Frosties look dodgy sorry lads take your helmets off.someone else not actually sure of age but because he or she has Rukka gear on and rides a CBF100 no mate your ok you can keep your helmet on.I must be reading it wrong surely!!!
If told to take your helmet off , turn your back and remove your helmet, wear one of these underneath, should be amusing.
