before anyone gets too high and mighty...a petrol forecourt is private property...we dont have any right to be allowed to fill up. If a station wants to introduce a no helmet rule, its down to them.Legally they do not have to serve us...and can ask us to leave for any reason they choose.
The only way to really protest is to complain to the head office or boycott such garage.But as already stated, for the tiny amount of fuel we use, we R small potatoes ...I was asked to remove my helmet at a morrisons, which at the time did seem a bit annoying, but their fuel is alway sthe cheapest in the area, so to my mind its now a condition of sale !...at my normal garage I am there so often they never ask me to remove helmet. Supermarkets also tend to have students operating cash tills, and they do like a bit of power...it goes maybe to some of their heads !
