Re: Would I be right....
I once had a "discussion" with the owner of a petrol station as I was leaving the shop having paid for my fuel.
To sum it up, he said "you should have taken your helmet off before going in to pay", my response was something along the lines of "if you really think that a criminal is going to pay the slightest bit of attention to that and not rob you then you're a complete moron, all you're doing is inconveniencing completely innocent customers".
I wasn't quite that polite but one of his staff did thank me as I walked back to my bike!
