Sorry as someone who works in retail I think its inconsiderate... dunno why she had to make a big deal about it tho, we'd have probably let it go. Due to the number of times staff have been assaulted by members of the public over seemingly small issues we'd rather have CCTV evidence we can use to prosecute :S

ditto. Surely taking the helmet off for a bit of fresh air is better anyway?

Is that a serious comment ? you receive plenty of fresh air when riding believe me

Edit: Nice to have a scratch tho must say

what about when walking around a shop, looking like you might do the place over?

Stupid checkout monkey stereotype meets awkward rude biker stereotype.

Encounter ensues, stereotypes confirmed.

I think the OP just met a small minded policy obssessed retail person in my opinion. You should have asked her if her 5.78 an hour was worth it.

I had a similar problem in the bank just the other day. There I was, innocently enjoying my newfound love of wearing stockings over my face, and without a word, all the staff start freaking out at me!

Bloody idiots, why can't they let me do as I please? :mad:

I guess I can understand why this is such a pain, but I guess some shop workers may feel intimidated by someone wearing a helmet, not saying thats the riders fault but if you could defuse that possible situation then why would n't you?

But to the OP it sounds like she was rude in the way you were asked to remove your lid, so I would have fought my corner also.
