Have not been out on the bike for a while but went to my local ASDA (now ESSO station) helmet on front up dark visor down sat on the bike gloves off filled up drove off to park by the doors paid no comments what so ever. Would I take it off ? well with the front up and visor up I would argue the point when they could see as much of my face as if I had a Baseball cap on, if there was a sign depending if I was desperate or not maybe find another station, no sign pump authorised then asked to take it off in the shop (depending on the mood I was in) I may refuse but offer to pay, hold my card out showing to the cameras that I am attempting to pay and if they refuse it that is their fault either wait for plod, ask them again to take my payment or leave, from what I would have thought if I have offered to pay and it has been refused then it is not theft (no doubt I am wrong on this and will be told so soon) but after all I can not force a debit card onto them if it was cash you could drop the cash on the desk and walk off (on camera obviously)
The way I look at it is give the relevent information on the pump to allow me to make the choice, after all they manage to display accepted payment methods so why not helmet policy. May be just me being a git but cold wet days can be a pain in the ass esp if you have a D ring rather than the quick release strap.
