BP Petrol Garage!

Post by zx6ninjaboy »

:x
BP petorl garage in Torquay, Hele.
Near enough every petrol garage me and the wife go to I stay on the bike with my helmet on to refuel while she pays with helmet off.
What's the problem?
BP shouted to me "take your helemet off", then shook his head and called me a [idiot].
It was too young boys.
Then after only putting 5.27 into my tank they cut off my supply and refused to sell me more petrol.
I for one will never be going to BP again!
Your views and replies would be much appreciated.

I used to have loads of trouble having to remove my lid when I lived in Sussex, never been moaned at down here though.

Worst are the places that won't let you stay sat on your bike to refuel.

No I never take my lid off to pay for fuel either especially if there is a sign up telling you to do so - the way I look at it if I was gonna rob the place I wouldnt bother so why the hell should I take it off just to be a normal paying customer.

I've never taken my helmet off either, was aksed once, just did the old tap of the helmet as if I couldn't hear. I know it's completely un-related but I feel if women can wear veils, we can wear a helmet.

I've started a new religion so that I can wear my hoodies wherever I want to, it's called hood-lam and if anyone has a problem with me wearing my hoodies i'm going to inform the police of their anti-semetic hatred.

Write a complaint to their head office, get the little front bottoms fired.

I've never been asked to take my lid off, took it off once when up coutnry but was a polite sign so didn't mind =D

I tend to do the thing they least expect.... rob them at gun point and murder them all. :)

I've never been asked to take my helmet off, I did once and people made a face like in The Ring and died.

Hopefully people robbing a garage aren't stupid enough to leave their real licence plates on...

if they want us to take out helemts off which are worth £100-£200 then they should provide a shelf off the ground to put them on :)

Why can't all normal garages just do pay at the pump (rather than just the odd supermarket). It'll save queuing up behind the lottery ticket buyers & 'the students who thought they had enough change on them to buy the loaf'. We only have one Esso Garage in Falmouth (others are lesser Jet/Asda brands) if you need petrol there on a saturday night before 7 it can take half an hour.

Mind you some of the local Tesco stores do pay at the pump & I only seem to end up using them to do a 'splash & dash' and need to pay by cash only to find a queue of people in the shop paying for petrol by card :? :? why?????
