Modular helmets - OK to leave on in service stations?

[russd7]

happened to get me passport out and venture to the other side of the ditch (dont get me started on the ability to drive of north islanders a fucken side worse than the maggots we get down here), anyways, i was in a rented cage and needed to fuel up at welcome bay, what a fucken rigmarole, i wanted to use me fuel card so first i had to go in to the shop and show them my card then they released appropriate pump so i could fill car up then i had to go back in to swipe my card, apparently they got sick of people driving off without paying so now take peoples money before they can dispense fuel.

I always take my helmet off. I believe it's just rude not to. That's how I was brought up, that's how it stays.
Goes on the list with not wearing a hat indoors etc.

Is that the same as taking your hat off when ladies are present, tipping your hat at other gents, and giving those street urchins a good kicking too while you're at it?

Fucking street urchins.

I can't remember when I last took my helmet off when fueling up the bike. I have enough things to juggle, so taking the helmet off is not an option unless asked to; I'm too likely to drop something (and that something's either going to be my helmet or wallet.
As for Z's pay at the pump, it's actually a lot slower than going a few hundred metres down the road to the BP and paying at the counter using "tap'n'go", but as the fuel's cheaper and some of Z's profits go to charity, I just put up with the pissing around reading instructions, pushing buttons and whatnot.
