Where the living fuck do petrol pumps have video ads? That's crazy

Shouldnt suprise you but…US. (Possibly other countries) Years ago they started adding video screens to display certain things, so as natural progression goes….there’s a screen so there will be ads. Loud-as-shit video ads that play as soon as you start pumping. And when no one is at the pumps they cycle silent ad slideshows.

You can mute the ads by pressing one of the buttons on the side of the screen

Most have disabled that now. I have only found one pump around here that I can still mute. I used to put tape over the speakers to muffle it, but most play out of the screen like a phone now.

Yup, i havent been able to mute in a long time. Tried all the buttons, multiple buttons at once, etc. The worst ones are the ones blasting whatever that stupid “fuel pump show” is that talks about what’s going on in the pop world with “famous” people ive never even heard of, or stupid “life hacks” that arent…
