    As someone who used to work at a petrol station, it literally boils down to a few different things
    • who is in - if the an area manager is in, they can get funny
    • mood - cashiers in a foul mood? it happens and they just do annoying crap
    • recent events - We had it once where about 4 kids turned up on scooters \ 125 scramblers, all filled up and rode off without paying. we got the number plates so it didn't matter but for a while we had to go OTT on crap like that.
    • New guys - they tend to worry to much


    At tesco, we were meant to ask all the time and it was technically a rule, but largely ignored

    Me personally, it never bothered me, but then i was a biker so I'm bias.
    I've been asked to remove my helmet once before, so i just flipped the front up and they were okay with that.
    Current - Yamaha MT03
    History - Honda CB250N <> Suzuki DR350 <> Honda CX500 <> Honda CB700SC Nighthawk <> Honda CB1300 <> Harley Davidson MT350E

    If in Salisbury there are only two that I know of that will serve you while on the bike. Tesco is the first if you pay at the pump and Shell on Wilton road. I just asked the guy at Shell what his rules were regarding bikes and petrol and he said he didnt mind as long as he got paid afterwards. Funny though that the Shell garage at Waitrose want your helmet and yo off the bike.
    When it's your time to go it's your time, so don't let it catch you.

    I think that the guy that owns beckington services comes into the shop I work at I think im going to have a custom moan and make him aware that bikes are not going there because of there staff. if you wanted to fill up and go without paying you could do that in a car ????
    next there will be asking passengers to get out of the vehicle....

    Blimey you had a bad day. Is it really worth getting so angry???

    The lady in the garage may just have genuinely thought you were going to steal petrol.
