100%. The time I spend at a fucking gas station is the time the gas is flowing + the overhead of tapping the card. Plus, if there are ads and the mute button doesn’t instantly work, leaving a 1 star review.

    In Latvia there is gas station chain that has no workers. Fully self service. They have screens that run ads.

    AFAIK, in some countries some stations that have workers and where you have to go to pay at cash register also have pumps with screens and play ads on them. Some even have pistols with screens for the same purpose. Yep.

    Ads at pumps are fairly common in the US. They been around since 2019 if not earlier.
