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

    I default to having a meltdown, smashing the screen, yelling “where is the goddamn mute button”.

    Is this unhinged, yes. But if we all did it, they would eventually get the message.

    Really though, I mostly get gas at Costco cuz it’s cheaper and they don’t do that shit.
