Remove your helmet

[PrincessBandit]

Always take mine off when I go in to pay - grace them with my little smiling cheery face! lol.

I used to feel bad about holding up cars waiting behind me while I got all my gear back on. I don't any more. They can wait. I'm such a wannabe rebel.

The reason for the disabling of the eftpos at pump service is so people go into their grotty shop and hopefully buy some of their wonderful 2 for one chocolate bars or what have you.

Damn, really can't be bothered trolling thru 24 pages to see if anyone has corrected this.

Reason why Mobil no longer use eftpos at pump is because those terminals are not compliant with the new security standards.
Can't remember what the standard is, I'm sure if you google it, you'll find it.
How many Advantage T7 eftpos terminals do you see these days?
None in my recollection. Why? They no longer meet the required standards, so out they go!
Same with Eftpos at pump. Can still use the Mobil fuel card through them, but thats not eftpos

Anyway, stop your whinging and take your f**kin helmet off.
Its polite!
Sure, if its your local servo, and they know you, and you usually wear your helmet in there, mint as. Leave it on.

All servos these days have large "No helmet" signs. And most have something about not straddling your motorbike while filling.
Fair enough - their servo, their rules. If you don't like it, f**k off and find some place that will put up with your temper tantrums.

Yeap, we live in a world where a minority has spoiled it for the majority.
I miss full-service servos.
But times change

Wait, are you saying that it is not possible to have eftpos at pump because there is no terminal available that meets the new security standards? Does this mean that every petrol station in the country wants to offer this, but none are able to? How does this match up with the petrol stations that DO have eftpos at pump (like the unattended ones)?

The way I see it is this:
There ARE unattended petrol stations that ONLY offer eftpos at pump - therefore it is possible to offer this feature. Therefore this feature is unavailable not because they can't offer it, but because they choose not to.

Therefore I hereby express doubt as to what you claim the real reasons for Mobil not offering this anymore. Feel free to present evidence to show otherwise.

used the paknslave fuels once, fucking mission that was, had to fight with the machine to get it to accept my card, jammed it in many times without success, spose if done regularly ud get use to it though.

I take my helmet off, dip my head in the bucket used for washing your windows then I flick my hair around like the woman from those shampoo commercials, that gets them going...

Shame tho as I have short hair so that prob why they look at me funny??

Haha, I noticed you didn't take your helmet off when you had to crash start your bike after filling it up in Featherston!

[kunoichi]

I take my helmet off out of habit really, i guess. I can relate to the tiller, kuz if i had anybody who had their face covered walk into my shop, i'd automatically be alittle bit sus, and then they could kick up a fuss about me watching them! Just take ur lid/hoody/sunnies off and we'll get along just fine!

hahaha true but at least I wasnt the one pushing

haha, true...at least I wasn't the one who fell on my face when you dropped the clutch and took off with him still hanging on the back of ya bike! ...mmm...Ducati...

[KrazyGixxerBoy]

Back on topic, I usually pay by eftpos so I have to take my gloves off to get my wallet out etc...It's only natural to then take off my helmet... If I have cash, I usually leave my helmet on but if they ask me I'd take it off and not whinge about it on KB. They're just doing their job....In saying that if the guys an arrogant farker, I'd ride the gixxerr into the shop and to a doughnut in front of the counter.

I imagine the reason is more along the lines of 'well we don't make squat from fuel and if we give people a more convenient option that involves them not coming inside then they won't buy any of the stupidly overpriced snacks that prop up our craptastic business model'

If there was an economic incentive for them to refit all of the units to allow eftpos at pump again, then it would be done in relatively short order. eftpos integration isn't exactly rocket science, especially not anymore.

[nothingflash]

Jesus really - I really doubt that if you've been asked to remove your helmet the guy asked you just for the fun of it. Honestly, if you don't go there next time to buy your $12 worth of fuel, I doubt very much the guy behind the till will give a shit.

look what I found!!!!
Awesome!

I not only remove my helmet after pulling up at the pump (stuffed if I know why people would want to keep that crap on their heads) But after I have filled up, I push my bike into a park before going into pay. I can't think of any reason why I should be hogging the real estate in front of the pump.

I would like to see a car-ist (since the term "cager" is out-of-fashion atm) think the same way.
Are bikers not considered part of society any more?

We are customers and entitled to equal rights.

I do it in my wagon as well if their is easily accessible parking.
