Indeed, because your problem is not their problem.I found that problem is staff failing to load a fresh roll of paper…….even when reminded.

What I like about the bicycle lock for my helmet, (besides keeping it from fall to the ground), it keeps an honest person honest.I use this to hang my helmet. Works well wrapped around a handlebar. Quick to remove and store. Basically use it upside down from the photo.View attachment 97130
Just a young guy showing off how he can pee into the urinal without dribbling on his helmetI'm washing my hands when this twenty-something rider comes in with a one piece brand new leather track suit, sliders and all and a helmet under his arm. He walks right up to the urinal and sets his helmet ON THE GROUND BETWEEN HIS FEET! Not on its top but right side up. Unzips and gets to leakin'. To this very day I will never forget Piss Helmet Guy...
Why is that??Frankly, I am surprised someone hasn't pointed a shotgun at you at some time.
I wear a modular. If I leave it on the chin bar is always up. If I'm in a "riskier", more urban area I always make sure my face is clearly visible. I make eye contact, smile and am friendly. Before I get to the front door I make sure that my wallet is visible in my hand and visible. Once inside I go straight to the counter, NEVER wandering the aisles. If i have to shop for some stuff then I'll take my helmet off. Never had a problem. Even in the city area where one member is from that said there'd be a problem if you tried this there. IMO a lot of it has to do with how you present and carry yourself.A full face helmet could be linked to wearing a balaclava and hoodie to conceal identity.
There are more than a few armed shop owners who are antsy about not seeing a face walk into their store but a blank.
It doesn't matter if you are in high viz yellow, or black leather, they can't see the human face with a full face helmet on.
Some people don't like motorcyclists at all, so while you may not look like a gang member, you still are just another motorcyclist.
A non human could be considered a threat. Some people react to perceived threats a bit more radically than others.
As for the second part of my reply. Do you just go into a place to use the rest room, or do you interact with a cashier? If I were a cashier at a store, I would like to see the person's face I am dealing with. I want to hear clearly what they are saying to me without a block in front of their mouth. Also I would like for them to be able to hear me without my having to shout if they have ear protection in.

And how do I have two different attitudes, may I ask?Two completely different attitudes displayed with regard to the feelings of others. You decide which one you want to emulate. My choice is crystal clear.
A little dramatic (or paranoid) Steve. For the past 4 years we've had millions of people walk into convenience stores, banks, etc wearing masks and I haven't heard of a single instance where anyone was blown away as they merely walked in.This a full face helmet?
You're lucky you have only had people knocking. Frankly, I am surprised someone hasn't pointed a shotgun at you at some time.
As for me, I take my helmet off, a few extra seconds of effort goes a long way in communication. When riding I have some of my best conversations with people in quick stops. Makes the ride interesting. St.
Around 20 years ago a local in Texas saw us sit our helmets on the ground and he warned us not to do that because of scorpions.I generally put my helmet on the ground when I stop and take it off. No chance of it falling then.
