I’m sorry, you have ads where now?
Comment on Marketing is in large part what necessitates marketing to begin with.

I’ve been trying every button on the pumps I’ve been to and none of them work. I think advertisers are onto us.

It varies. At one place I used to go to, you could mute them. But they disabled the mute button, so I stopped going there.
At a different place, I accidentally went into an admin menu (by pressing several buttons at once) and that made me nervous, so I stopped screwing with the buttons. While it’s very tempting to try and hack them, everything is on CCTV now. It’s probably a crime here in the United States of Corporatism.
Fortunately there are still gas stations close to my job where I can fuel the vehicle in relative peace. I’d rather give those places my business.

I need to sort which ones by me don’t have ads. It’s the jarring audio at 5:30 am when I haven’t had coffee yet that just sours my mood.

Yeah, I was visiting Seattle at a tram stop, I could hear an ad from a gas pump going off from halfway across the street… obnoxious af.
