I always take my lid off, gloves off, get off the bike, put it on it's centre stand and then fill up. I think it does show common courtesy, and I wouldn't wear a hat indoors either, or have a hood up.
Just to show some respect to the attendants who, lets face it, probably put up with enough shit from stupid people being rude and impatient with them all day.
However, I do get really annoyed with car drivers getting impatient while I put all my gear back on before I ride away. It's not like I have never been held up waiting for a pump to become free while someone does lots of shopping, fiddles with the phone or struggles to remember how the flippin thing works. . . . . . . .
