Sainsbury's introduced a similar policy a few years ago. I wrote and complained... pointing out that unless they employed a bouncer at the door, the helmet-clad thugs coming to rob the place (the reason the policy was introduced) were unlikely to honour the notices anyway.
They were pretty good about it, the person who responded said it would be brought up at their next safety meeting.
In the meantime, I continued to queue to pay with my helmet on, once I reached the cashier would remove it if asked (which held up the queue nicely as I juggled wallet, specs and then didn't have anywhere flat to put the helmet while I put my specs back on).
A couple of months after the "Please remove helmets" signs went up, they disappeared. :lol
