Double Standard?

the new Mobile on Dominion by the Burger King

one thing to remember.
the mobil is private property, they can do what they choose, and you can too, by not buying anything from there and "boycotting" it if you can find the popular support, or complain to the owner.
it could work out for you.

Why do I have a feeling that person might be ex US Military?

2 things..

1. he's not worth the $2 for the bullet..
2. you are NEVER "EX" US Military...

You're right, but someone in front of you with a helmet on, fuel in their tank and cash in their hand offering it to you is a strange time to pull rank.

I'm personally a fan of natural justice, (or outcomes)... and if Sarge was unable to be served until he took his lid off, the only outcome would have to be to take the fuel back out of his tank.

Pain in the arse of a job... but if that's what the guy wanted then I'd be more than happy to let him arrange it. He'd need to prove to me there was just as much fuel left in the tank at the end too.

But ... it's his call.

Not entirely. That would be true if they elected not to supply fuel to motorcyclists at all, unless they removed their helmets

But in this case Mr Sarge had fuelled up , and was endeavouring to pay. They made acceptance of his payment subject to a condition that had not been advised at the time of the contract.

Mr Sarge proferred payment for the goods . They refused to take it. I'd have ridden off.

Put the subject into a non biker context. How about a chick goes in and the guy says he won't serve her unless she takes her top off? Does it being private property oblige her to take it off? Same thing I reckon.

[Squeak the Rat]

Depends if there was a no-helmet sign on the forecourt, and likewise a no-blouse sign. Such a sign would constitute a condition of contract (assuming it was in a visible place).

A lot of petrol stations have no-helmet signs, most people don't pay any attention to them. If there was such a sign I don't think the cops would be too lenient on someone riding away without paying.

hmm.yes, i do see your point, but now they suffer the loss of mr sarge not shopping there, but i do consider it rude and strange to refuse payment. i too would have ridden off, once again their loss.

[Marmoot]

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

Yea Sarge. My thoughts exactly too.

If we're allowed to wear helmets then these people should be allowed to wear burqas as well.

I'm sick of special treatments.

Any of you remember which politician was it a few months ago that wanted to ban burqas while driving? He might have helmets on his agenda too. Bastards.....

[The Pastor]

Geeze Winja .. i think thats the nicest thing you have ever said to me ( or anyone come to think of it ...)




jonbuoy.. i wouldnt worry too much about RM.. i dont .. i just consider the source and work backwards from there ..


he is just having a nasty reaction to his acne medicine...

one of these days he will run his suck and someone will assist him in changing his attitude...

Did you watch the video?

[WarlockNZ]

You are all now ordained in the First Church of the Motorcycle.

Commandment #1: You are forbidden to remove your helmet while at petrol stations.


More to follow.

Sweet !! .. when do we get membership cards, that'll fuck em. LOL, "but it is my religion, see!!"

1. he's not worth the $2 for the bullet..

$2? You're either shopping in the wrong place, or using the wrong gun.

[SARGE]

mate .. where i come from... you shoot anyone with anything less than a .45.. you're just gonna piss em off...

and anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice..

[Street Gerbil]

Shit.. .[...]guys dont wear burka things aye... lol...

Actually some of them do.

"how come SHE can do it???"

"its a religious matter sir"
[...]
can anyone explain to me how this is fair?

Ok, guys, let's try another angle. The pakistani guy obviously has certain experience dealing with moslem ladies.
Perhaps he figured that Sarge wearing a helmet and the aforementioned lady not wearing a bourka are equally scary. May it be that he decided not to enforce the anti-face-cover regulation out of pure humanism?

I always wear my helmet when paying for gas

I tried not to remove the goggles (I wear a motocross helmet) when paying for the gas. Alas, the response was, "howdy mate good to see ya again". Obviously I picked the wrong gas station.

[Scouse]

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.."

you should have said back to it "hey forign c#$t dont talk to me like that in my F#$king country" Oh sorry just rememberd your not from these here parts Sarge
