Double Standard?

[SARGE]

i took the Flying Pig up to get some gas at the Mobile on Dominion & Mt. Albert today ( since i couldnt make it to Kumeu..).. mmmmm 98 octane...

anyhoo...all i needed was a pack of smokes and pay for my gas and i was outie.. i didnt bother to remove my helmet and one glove .. i walked in and there was this black ghost in a Burka and her pack of kids in the store.. full face Burka mind you...

i walked up to the counter and asked for a pack of smokes and the minimum wage drone behind the counter (quoting now ..) said..


" i will not serve you unless you remove your helmet.."

"say what????"

"please remove your helmet.."

"theres no signs anywhere that say i have to remove my helmet..."

"remove your helmet sir, or i will not serve you"

"great.. free gas!!!"

" if you drive away without paying, i will call the police.."

" but you wont serve me.."

" not unless you remove your helmet.."



at the same time .. the lovely bedsheet was paying for her rolling papers and studded condoms at the cashier next to mine ..



"how come SHE can do it???"

"its a religious matter sir"

"so's my bike fuckwit!" (i was getting annoyed at this time and wanted to seize the opportunity to stir some shit anyway..)

"dont talk to me like that sir.. i do not have to take it"

well then take my money and i'll leave"

"not until you remove your helmet"




back home we call this a Mexican Standoff.....only this Mexican came from Pakistan or India or some other shithole..


i got tired of his shit finally and tossed a $20 on the counter and fucked off...leaving a bit of smoke off the rear tire on the way out..

can anyone explain to me how this is fair?

It is a double standard, but how often are burkas used in robberies compared to motorcycle helmets?

mate you should have grabbed the curtain held round the throat screamed.....JIHAD.....KARAN MUUUUUHAMMED WHOEVER THE FUCK cut her throat and collected your change.....no problem....thank you sir

[The Pastor]

Removal of a helmet is a quick and simple thing to do. I know you yanks are slower than the rest of the world (yes EVEN slower than aussies.)

The question is not, "why should I remove my helmet" but "why should I not remove my helmet".

Don't like it? Dont shop there. Efpos at pump. Or go to another station, ive never had any problems with wearing a helmet at a gas station.

All the time. They're robbing us blind with their prices at our local dairy.

Because women are foul, dirty things and should be covered from the eyes of pure, virtuous men. It's a matter of right and wrong - didn't you know that, Sarge?

nah man .. it was a guy


and there were witnesses...


i just think it is a damn shame that one segment of the population gets special treatment..

the first asshole who thinks a Burka is a great way to pull off a liquor store robbery will be my hero...


EDIT: this tread was moved from the HELEN CLARKE COMMUNITY thread

[LilSel]

Make a Burka thingie outta a black sheet or something Sarge!!

Go back in same time (if goin past that way kinda thing) n hopefully it'll be the same guy... remove your helmet... with burka thing on underneath... then see what he has to say!!

if ya need smokes or gas or whatever...

If says anything... state... 'its my religion'

If still refuses... claim discrimination!!

[SARGE]

If still refuses... claim discrimination!!

yea right .. im a white guy who speaks fluent english...


i'd end up the one arrested and sued

[LilSel]

hmmm... good point...

Shit.. .I think I might've been having a blonde moment... guys dont wear burka things aye... lol...
So wouldnt work anyhow.... bugger... ah well... if it was me that happened to, I would do it just to prove a point (cuz im a woman)-you could see more of me with my helmet on rather than this dont you think?

(oh and I dont always take my helmet off either if paying cash, esp if theres no sign up....)

But, but, but, I have always understood that Sarge was a foul dirty thing. And bad tempered too. So why does he not need to be covered from the eyes of pure virtuous men (like me)

[outlawtorn]

I always wear my helmet when paying for gas, its a mission to take it off and then tuck yerself back in (big ears and a neck warmer make it a mission).

It's a fucking joke that the little shit wouldn't serve you, I would have told him exactly what he can do with his fucking little attitude......FUCK this makes me fucking angry!!!!!!!

I hate this fucking preferential, politically correct, labour arse kissing, tree hugging, don't offend the blind cripple lesbian in a wheelchair with 3 kids, give all minorities more than anyone else, kind of utter fucking bullshit.

FUCK POLITICAL CORRECTNESS and fuck these little shop people who demand helmets to be removed......aaaaarrrrrgggghhhhhhhhhhh

[LilSel]

If you had a balaclava on under your helmet n didnt take that off as well... do you think you would get the same reaction??

[Ixion]

It is a double standard, but how often are burkas used in robberies compared to motorcycle helmets?

And how often are helmets used in robberies compared to trousers? So why do they not demand that we remove our trousers? Has anyone experienced this with an open face helmet? (Which would knock out the picture thing completely). But I don't accept the picture excuse anyway, with a clear visor. A full face helmet with clear visor will give a better view of the face that someone wearing sunglasses.
