Tesco's Lid Removal

[BusaBaz]

I think peeps need to remember that you’re on private property and if you don’t like the rules that the owners of the private property have then you’re not welcome. In the same way that you welcome people into your house but as soon as they do something that isn’t to your liking then you can quite rightly tell them to get lost.

Can’t see the problem in taking my lid of if I’m going into a shop, different if it’s a quick fuel stop but a shop !

Tbh I don’t really see what the problem is. It takes 2 minutes to remove a lid and 2 minutes to put it back on (although in my case as Westie will testify in his shop - it can take me 25 minutes to put a lid on:) ).

I’ve never been asked to take off a lid, and have even brought stuff wearing a bikers balaclava, but if I was asked to remove it - then why not? If it’s a matter of principle, then surely there are bigger battles out there that need fighting, rather than whether to spend 2 seconds taking a lid on or off in a shop. In the time spent standing up for the right to wear a lid you might as well have taken the lid on and off ten times and done the weekly shop:Whistling:

its more the hassle of carrying it around, and not dropping it while getting other shopping.

i know a trolly would fix that, but who carries around pound coins?

Our local petrol station love us and never ask us to remove our helmets, even non-flip.

However when a Tesco Metro opened nearby they

a) refused to let us in with helmets on (even the flip one, flipped up)

b) followed us around like hawks while doing our shopping as if two old fogeys in leathers (no pockets etc) debating which type of veg to buy were more likely to shoplift stuff than all other customers - chav mums with buggies and voluminous bags.

Gits.
