I’m from a US state where we don’t pump our own gas. Since I don’t pump my own gas regularly - only when I’m out of state - I’m not exactly sure when this happened, but all gas pumps seem to play ads now while the pump runs. At least the states adjacent to mine. Like can I not even pump gas in peace? Stop trying to manipulate my purchasing decisions 24/7.

Edit: ok I get it, there’s a mute button. I appreciate the tip, but people are already reporting that it only sometimes works. Knowing there a mute button that sometimes functions doesn’t make me less infuriated

The screens on the pumps (around me at least) have a mute button on the screen.

Holy crap if they started doing that in my area I'd switch to an EV within a month.

That sounds frustrating, you should buy a pair or Ray Ban sunglasses to reduce the glare from the ad screens. Never hide - Ray Ban.

But you do have Mt Hood and the Columbia River and the coastline to console you. 😍

My state just made self-serve gas a thing so I got an electric. If I'm going to have to fuel up my own car, I'll do it in my carport.

Well, think of it as positive engagement to stop buying gasoline vehicles.
