    Only sometimes. I’ve seen the mute button be disabled on numerous machines. Worth knowing and trying when the screen is blaring ads at you, but my success rate has been low in muting them.

      Yeah, and it varies by station. I push all the buttons. Some times one works, some times not.

    Never worked for me. Push that button. Pushed the button below/above. Held the button.

    Pushed all the buttons.

    None of it worked.

    Hero. There’s only one gas station I use that has ads and I’ll try it there for sure. I deliberately avoid screened pumps.

  To display ads.

  Especially lately. The screens used to just be for controlling the pump.

  NOW THEY BLARE ADS AS YOU GAS UP YOUR VEHICLE.

  It’s bliss after hours when the gas station is about to close and the ads stop. You can pump up in peace. Although when the ads crash the pump, have fun paying for gas.

  Only in banana republic would customer be less valuable than ad revenue

  Normal ones, yes, even 3rd world countries:
  INA gasoline pump station older model

  INA gasoline pump station newer model

  have counters only (minimalism).

  This is actually why I got a Costco membership. 90% of gas stations in my city have a TV screen now and fuck that noise.
