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’s a mute button that sometimes functions doesn’t make me less infuriated

      Use ads negatively, it makes ads fun.

      See an ad? Pledge to never buy that product. My black book is full of spite.

      Unfortunately gas stations don’t actually make much money from selling you fuel. Most of the money is made from the attached convenience stores.
