    No law that I'm aware of. Isn't it just a request made by servos and banks?

    I've walked into a servo wearing a hoodie (with the hood on) as it was a cold morning and the attendant told me to take the hood off or get out the moment I walked in the door. Dunno if its illegal but I complied just to make him happy

    Not illegal. Can't force you to, but can ask you to remove it before service. You don't have to comply. That's why I always have the right money at servos. Walk in, Pump number whatever mate, place money on counter and walk out.

    heres a funny one   some BP stations have stickers on their pumps.. which state  you cannot refuel your car while using a phone, wearing a hoodie, or wearing a helmet. so i wear my helmet in and have been questioned about it by staff, both times i have told them to go look at the stickers and look at my bike. now they dont mention it and i perposely wear it just for fun.. i should drive the car there in a helmet and see if they start up again.

    Reply to service attendant when asked to remove helmet?

    How dare you belittle my religion, this is my Burkha!

    Not law just a request, cant blame them with all the servo robberies but when it happens at your local that you use every other day. FFS.

    If they turn the pumps on so you can fill, they can't refuse to take your money, regardless of what you're wearing

    I always wear my helmat when paying for petrol and gave never had an issue. I do take my shades off so they can see my face, which may help them feel at ease.

    I had lady turn pump off on me at the melbourne inbound service centre at Deer Park, the maccas and 7-eleven,

    I got about 12 cents in it then she stopped it, i thought pump was stuffed and couldnt hear what she was saying, took helemt off and understood her

    She started pimp up again, zeroed it, i fueled up went inside paid and got the f**k out of there never to return

    Thanks

    I never take off my helmet, as I have a Shark Evoline helmet I raise the chin part so thats its in open face mode, they can see my face and its no different to someone wearing a cap or a hat, if they dont want my business I will go elsewhere.

    I doubt it.  How many bike cops do you see fill up and not remove their lids?

    The poor cunts gettin 6 bucks an hour shit themselves when hoodies or helmets are worn inside cause they think you may be tryin to rob them . I try not to cause people undue grief and take helmet off each time , even open face . But that,s my choice .

    A lawyer friend has commented on this to me previously. He claims that to be enforceable, the sign requesting helmet removal must be at the entrance to the premises......i.e, the driveway. Since it is illegal to ride a motorcycle without a helmet this would require all riders to dismount in the driveway, remove helmets and push the bike to the pump. Not sure of how accurate this is, however, I have never ever been asked to remove my helmet (open face admittedly) or refused service so never had the opportunity to test the theory.

    I gotta feel for ya Shingles, but yeah good on ya for sticking it to those who don't give a shit. It would be alright if someone was to come out from behind their desk to give a disabled guy some help filling his tank.  Remember 30 odd years ago when there really was "service" stations, where the attendant came out and had a chat while pumping your fuel. Now they just take your money and try up sell some fucking chocolate bar you don't even want. Gee I miss them old days, and I'm only in my mid 30's.
