As its nearly Halloween couldn,t we think of somat to do regarding trick-or-treat on the forecourt.Piss up against the pump using a water pistol or something eye catching.Popeye,you got any ideas,screwing up a tenner is to simple,ten quids worth of pennies and throw them on the deck. :hippo :hippo :meatballs :meatballs :meatballs
As Wildcat stated in her ride report we called in for fuel on our rideout today.We doubled up on the pump to save time and space on the other pumps,i put in £10 in each bike and Wildcat went in to pay again to save time.Anyway she came out with the money still in her hand sayin that the woman cashier had asked her to remove her crash helmet before she would accept payment as it was the law.I told her no worries id go in and pay,to which i went in with the £20 clearly visible in my hand.Only to have the same request thrown at me by the cashier.I then asked wot the problem was as i clearly had a method of payment in my hand,she then said it was cos she couldnt see my face because of my crash helmet.So i said im hardly likely gonna truy and hold up the petrol station with 2 tenners in my hand.She then said that theyve had nothin but trouble and attitude off bikers!!!At this point i asked her to get the manager as i didnt like her attitude,she retorted that i had an attitude problem.Wildcat then came in to the shop and at this point the queue for the pump was building up nicely behind the bikes.Fairplay a guy who was also in the queue waitin to pay said that it was her that had the attitude problem not me.I did ask if i was a muslim would i also be asked if to remove my head gear? Her reply was that she was sick of hearing bikers using that as an excuse.She then threw a copy of the South Wales Argus on the counter with a picture and a headline showing a biker in a crashhelmet robbing a petrol cashier.I said to her then are you saying that all bikers are robbers and thieves and if she thought that was me in the picture.She replied ''how do i know its not you in that picture?''Then the manager arrived to try and calm things down,i asked him why do Waitrose discriminate against bikers? He said they didnt but they request that bikers remove theyre helmets before filling up for CCTV identification,so i asked why we were allowed to fill up first, then be humilliated in a queue by being classed as a potential thief or robber? He did apologise that his staff shouldnt serve us without removing our helmets first!!! In my book thats still discrimination.....I am going to write and complain to Waitrose also i may write to MCN. Perhaps we should have a Welshbiker.co mass rideout to Abergavenny converse en mass on Waitrose filling station fill up+refuse to remove our helmets before paying or if they refuse to serve us before helmet removal just refuse to move off the pumps.And fuck em :fuk

I use the Texaco in Nelson if I'm near there to save hassle in future.They must get wound up at only being paid minimum wage so get ideas above their station and try to pretend they have a bit of power

I can go one better than that. Whilst out instructing with trainees pulled in to Morrisons on the Port Talbot/Sandfields bypass. All of us were wearing training bibs and I lifted my flip up helmet. Put my credit card in the machine to pay at the pump and entered pin, etc. Tried to fill the bike up but pump wouldn't work. Looked over to the cashier and she was gesticulating for me to remove my helmet before authorising the pump to work. Had to do it to fill up one of the bikes as it was nearly empty. Went and had a few words with the cashier supervisor who told me that it was company policy. Bearing in mind I wasn't even going to enter the shop to pay is that 'jobsworth' or what. Needless to say as I told her haven't been back since. Funnily enough I don't have a problem at the Morrisons in Swansea when I go to fill up there.
I feel a plan is in the air
