I'm not getting the product from outside the bank and just going inside to pay for it.
You usually park further away from banks.

It's been a while since I've seen a "no helmets" sticker at a servo down here.

Most have changed to "fuel card only".

I never take my helmet off and I've never been asked to. Maybe you look like a bad bastard?

FFS, in GORE of all places they wanted me to remove my skull mask - when I went in with CB when she went to pay for our gas leaving our scoots praked-up and not running about 15 metres away???????

I hope you also asked them if you had to remove your stab proof vest.

fuck, i remember one local looney came in and bought a packet of tobacco... she paid entirely with feckin silver and maybe one or two golds. was like $20 something. this was before the 5c coin was removed. damn near did my head in trying to count it all and not forget where i was up to. thankfully, this at the bp thats best classed as "almost dead" instead of the one i normally worked which was classed as "always crowded"

A hassle to take your lid off....

if its such a hassle then don't bother riding the dam thing at all as when you get somewhere you will have to again have the hassle of taking your lid off...

I have to say there are some interesting replies to this topic for and against

I bet when it comes time for a cold one or a pie - taking a helmet off won't be any hassle all of a sudden.

If I decide to take my helmet off at a servo, is it ok for me to leave my nice black balaclava on ?

What a fucking ridiculous statement. It's more hassle to not remove your helmet when attempting to eat or drink than when simply handing over your money and being on your way.
