I get off and park a cars width away from the pump. Keeps getting all the splashes and dregs that the car drivers leave all over the tarmac on my tyres. Then I go inside and browse the pie and coffee selection or make rude faces at the yokels if they have none.
It depends on the day for me. I usually stay on the bike just so it's sat up straight but I don't mind either way. It sometimes makes life easier when I have my partner on the back because she goes in to pay.
Fair enough if you want the rider to dismount at the pump. Why remove helmet at the pump though? I would go elsewhere myself as I wouldn't want to leave my lid on the pump or floor and never hang it on the bars in case it falls. Removing helmet to enter the shop I understand though most are happy with just lifting the visor in my experience.
