My helmet in Morrisons caused uproar

[nurseholliday]

Late to the party here, but twice while carrying a lid in the supermarket some has rammed it with their trolley, and once a kid hit my legs with a trolley so hard, I dropped my helmet by accident. That's a good reason not to take the fker off.

I say it serves the OP right for going shopping in the first place, that's wimmins work!

I just wanted to thank MTB For making me laugh out loud at a thread on PH for the first time in ages. A top quality rant/series of rants (all of which had an accent).

Definitely choose the Polish delis in Falkirk over any supermarket, oh yes, and that awesome butcher (only been there once and can't remember the name).

To keep it on topic, never had a problem wearing a flip front helmet in a supermarket or in a petrol stations. Still, even More Reasons not to shop at Morrisons.

I've just read from page 1 and this has been the funniest topic on here for a long time Shame MTB had to be sin binned but just like a good night out someone has to be thrown out or arrested to make it memorable

I can't believe I missed the opportunity to tell MTB to shut the fk up before I kicked his in, before he got banned. Gutted.

Mtb can obviously still read BB. He's just texted me explaining that he is sorry for losing the rag earlier, but he is going through some stuff. Some personal stuff. He said from now on he would prefer to be known as Alexis, and if any big biker hunks are looking for a slim, feminine pillion then he (soon to be she) is available.

He has bought a honda..

Very good point. We should have seen this coming.

He jus texted again. Said its Alexandra not alexis. fking little princess keeps changing his mind.

Top work

I don't ride a bike but, maybe naively, I must ask what's the issue with being asked to remove your skid lid?

It's not a issue at all. It takes no time at all to take it off. People just like to moan about things for whatever reason they can.

As his father I obviously feel his pain and now wish to be known as nellyp.

MTB is banned. I blame the parents.

I guess we'll never find out if he bought that custard in Morrisons.

Now that is a custard I would like to see.

Buying custard in Morrisons with Helmet on.

I don't get it, you're inside a building, why wouldn't you take it off?

It would have taken 5 seconds or less, it's literally taken you far longer to argue with the people in the shop, then many multiples of the time it would have taken to take it off to create the post on here.

I'm with the store on not wanting people in their stores wearing helmets, irrespective of whether they are full, flip or pisspot ones.

There has to be more to this story than we're being told. I can't imagine 7 staff just surrounding him for no reason, Prather than the helmets. Maybe some words were exchanged at the checkout.

I hope they ask the Group 4 chaps collecting the takings to remove their helmets. (And any wooden top plod that enter the store!)

Yes because that's exactly the same thing

[WaferThinHam]

Could full well believe he was surrounded by 7 if them. Have seen pack mentality in supermarkets before, rather than getting the duty manager/security to deal with it, they can all go steaming in.

Personally I'd write to head office and use words like "intimidated", "just wanted to buy a pint milk", "loyal customer", "put off for life" etc. etc. For no other reason than to try and get some vouchers. You might even be able to use them to put fuel in the car.

Also, why would you shop at Morrison's anyway, they're generally pretty crap.

Did we happen to miss the smiley at the top of my post?



Of course, it could be argued that, if the company feel that the till takings as 0.0000000001$ of their overall income is worth protecting by a man wearing a helmet, then the cost of the milk probably represent the same 0.0000000001$ of the shoppers overall income, and thus should also be protected by a man in a helmet! So it is the same thing!
