I'm glad we cleared that one up, if you use a service station for haircuts god knows what you do at a barber's.

How about this for a simple rule.
Step 1) If you are at home, some dude you don't recognise pulls up on a bike you don't know. You go for the gun cabinet.
Step 2) He does not let you see his face as he walks to your door, you grab the bolt
Step 3) He gets to the door, helmet still on......you cock the bolt
Step 4) He steps inside the house, helmet still on - you aim and yell "Take that helmet off or i'll shoot!"

Now imagine you work at a Servo

As already said... Home is rather different to a petrol station. Or do they expect us to take our shoes off now too?

Step 1) You're working at the servo, a bike pulls up you don't recognise and leaves helmet on.
Step 2) They point at the pump and their eftpos card, you nod and smile while turning pump on.
Step 3) They fill up in 2mins.
Step 4) They come into the shop, say g'day, pay their $20, and leave happy.

I hope you don't work in any kind of business relating to customers in any way whatsoever.

The gas station may have had a robbery where the robber wore a helmet...Just take it off if asked and if there is a sign but at end of day it's a property issue and I guess the owner's via staff can ask you to remove your helmet..banks do it...

Doesn't matter. His premise for his argument was that rules are rules so ya gotta obey them... Obviously this premise is fallacious.

Nop...both have property owner rights v visitors.....I tend to allow dirty dogs and leave the owners outside.....
