New rule at Sainsbury's - SV650.org

DarrenSV650S · 01-04-09, 07:22 PM

The new rule at Sainsburys is that you must get off your bike and put it on the stand before you fill up. Apparently it is in case the bike falls over or you....CATCH FIRE!..... because sainsburys would be liable for that....

Oh but they didn't mind when I paid with my lid on

Someone has to come up with these stupid rules to justify their job.

Wait a sec... do you not put it on the stand to fill it up anyway?

ScottishRawker · 01-04-09, 07:27 PM

well they can come out and hold it upright whilst i fill it to the brim!!

I thought everyone put their bikes on stands anyway?

Either way I think it's a sensible request, you run the risk of damaging your bike never mind catching fire!

But you get more in if you keep it upright.

just gonna avoid sainos me thinks.

i gotta say i sit on my bike when i fill up just because its upright when doing so (i only have a side stand)

personally more likely to av a spillage on side stand + i wanna fill the blurry thing right up.....wont happen on the wonk/side-stand!
