Quote:Maybe in the summer, but in the winter Er no actually it dosent. I've had this a few times and depending on my mood or how late I am and depending on the attitude and tone of the request I will do one of several things -Yep agree with all of that. And if they refuse to switch on the pump while you are waiting to fill - solution is don't put the nozzle back, place it on the floor. Ride off and fill up elsewhere. They'll soon get fed up with it.
Take me helmet of, smile for the camera and then put it back on.
I will remove my helmet putting on the counter in-front of me and then after paying without moving from my spot in-front of the counter/till, put my my helmet back on. And only at that point will I make my way back to the bike.
Ask why and if I get any attitude kick up a fuss blocking anyone else from using that till untill they accept my payment.
Ignore the request and I ask them if they are going to take me my payment in a loud and very clear voice holding myt debit card in clear view of the cctv, I will do this atleast 3 times and then walk out if they refuse to take payment. Once I get to work call the police & the HQ of the station to make a complaint stating I tried to pay but was unable due to do the confrontational attitude of the PS in question.
I have only had 2 requests for me to remove my balaclava(during the winter), to which I have stated if they want me to do that I will do it at the till and they will have to wait for me to remove and put back on at the till. At which point the argument is over and they just want to take payment etc.
