taking your bike in shops

Serving at a drive through McDonalds?

Shoe shining.

I'd rather be arrested than eat a tin of kidney beans.

Buy a tin of beans and get a moral dilemma free......I just love those BOGOF deals.

You're on fire, Rocky. Ride the wave before it breaks...

I work in a shop. Customers aren't allowed to bring bikes inside, but staff can.

My local Morrison's wouldn't let me briefly park my bike inside, but my local Tesco does... so I tend shop at Tesco. Morrison's has since shut down.

 

[Markymark]

It's funny. Customers ask all the time if they can bring it in. I always say no problem. When Boris bikes were stationed outside lots of residents in flats around came to me hoping to get me on side to have them stopped. I was all for it. I get 20 customers on bikes for each one in car (within congestion charge zone of central London). We also get large vans and lorries delivering daily. They park and bring everything in without issue.

I was banned from wheeling my Chopper through the local sex shop.

But they're ok with me bringing the bike in.

Bojack Horseman is nothing to do with humour.

Is it just Bojack or is it all comedies featuring talking horses you don't like? Don't tell me you're not a fan of Mr Ed too

Update on bikes in shops. Today in Holmes Chapel, Cheshire, I took the bike in a Sainsuburys local. Propped it up near the door and bought the bits I needed. No problem and the checkout guy said he had been keeping an eye on it for me which was nice. My view is popping it inside the shop (surely a customer wouldn't nick it?) is fine, wheeling it around the aisles isn't so great

 

[nickyboy]

Is he a talking horse or a bloke with a horse's head?

I can't believe you've even asked that question. Of course he's a talking horse, just like Mr Ed. If it was just a bloke wearing a horse's head it wouldn't be funny at all

Shops, hotels, hotel rooms, airport departure and arrival lounges, ferry lounges, cafes,shopping centres.....

Nothing is off limits

I got told off by a cashier at Tesco for taking my bike into the shop yesterday. Health and safety, they could be shut down or some such nonsense. Funny thing is the security guard and management staff I passed as I walked into the shop with bike in tow said absolutely nothing to me.

I ****ing hate health and safety. It has become an excuse to be a complete arse. This sort of thing encourages bad attitude towards actual safety. I for one would like to hang a traffic policeman by his neck using a hi-vis rope from a thoroughly inspected tree that I have cordoned off and put lots of warning signs around that warn I will decapitate someone with them.

Anyway I need to go and turn my chainsaw off.

Serving at a drive through McDonalds?

Nope, I've been refused service at a McD's drive through. Health* and Safety apparently.


*and yet they still insist on selling their food..

 

[alecstilleyedye]

some colleagues from one of our food stores popped in for a scheduled stop at head office during a 500 mile charity ride, and were greeted by security and told to bring the bikes around the back and to chain them to a table once inside; health and safety was cited as the reason

I got told sniffily "there's a bike rack outside" when I took my unfolded Brommie into Evans (yes, that Evans, the bike shop) in Peckham. I decided against making any purchases and continued my journey.

This meant that they lost a massive sale of something or other. Cable end caps maybe. Something like that.

That said, it's entirely the shop's business whether they let bikes in or not. They don't need to make up spurious elf n safety excuses. They can just say "no", to which the cyclist can reply "OK" and go somewhere else.
