Not in this country, pay desks are generally open....but then again, few people have access to firearms.
In this country the pay desks are generally open, but then again most people have access to firearms. The places in this country that have plexi-glass between the clerk and the patron is to prevent the "grab-n-go" thefts seen most commonly in the inner city/poor areas where there are strict gun laws. Ironic, isn't it. Chicago, New York, etc. You know, the cesspools of the United States that are inhabited by the worst examples our country can produce.
Come to places like where I live where people more often than not respect each other and crime is minimal. The types of people in areas where the pay desks are generally open vs "protected" are vastly different. It isn't the gun/knife/[insert] that does the crime, it is the **people**. There are far more guns per person in places where I live than in the examples above.
FWIW.... I always take my hemmit off when refueling. Always. I wear both an open face and full and regardless I always remove the hemmit when refueling and entering a building, and usually when chatting with other people. Courtesy, habit, and giving the head a rest and some fresh air are my reasons.
