Fill'er up please gov
I usually only buy from pay at pump garages - they get my payment details up front so have no risk of not getting paid
It's a faff to take everything off, especially for someone who usually wears glasses to ride too. With pay at pump the splash and dash is a couple mins tops and I'm away
Maybe there's an intention to actually discourage bikers from certain garages. Less face it, we buy less fuel than most cars, and don't attempt to buy a weeks shopping every time we fill up.
Used Tesco Trowbridge today, paid at pump and filled up with lid on, i have found it depends on the staff (jobs worth's) like when i sit on the bike to fill up then they get funny with me

It's always a jobs worth. If they were to say "Sorry, do you mind taking your helmet off" it'd be ok.
But they never do. It's always some self righteous sod who makes a scene.
It's not illegal and the onus is on them to inform us that it's their policy before we use their services. If the company were really that bothered they would put signs on the pumps.
These people relish the opportunity to talk down to someone else as it gives their crappy lives a little meaning.
I generally take my helmet off when fuelling, although it does depend on which garage.
It stays on at Pay at Pump, Sainsburys in Oxford have stopped me fuelling at Pay at Pump with the helmet on. I ranted at the attendant because I had no intention of entering the shop!
Pump came back on, filled up and off on my journey.
I used to work in a petrol station and never asked people to take helmets off as there is no need. It depends on the company as they have policies they adhere to and Sainsbury's was always that the rider should not be on the bike. Never enforced by me.
Today I was asked to get off my bike before I could fill it. I asked the reason and was told it's because static from my jacket may cause the petrol to ignite.
I did conform but only because the young lad was ok about it and apologised. I did tell him it was a load of bollocks and he agreed
Another rant about petrol stations.
Pulled up in the Mille last night at Tidworth, noticed fuel literally all over the pump I was parked at, thought about moving the bike to another pump but by then I was fully in it anyway. Filled up, said to the cashier 'you do realise pump number 6 is covered in fuel' - 'uh yeah' was his response.
I mean come on, its not like their job is difficult..............
Tidworths always bad for fuel spills I filled up last night and nearly dropped it on a slippery patch they often only have one guy working so he can't close up to clean up. I almost got billed for 2 lots of fuel too as the guy on a ped who didn't remove his full face when filling rode off. The cashier assumed I was paying for both!
That's terrible. They should really make everyone remove their helmets before they serve them......... ��
