We can't even pump fuel anymore without holding a digital billboard (Netherlands) (i.redd.it)

I've started leaving if the thing shows me an ad, I just put the nozzle back the second the ad plays, gets me enough fuel to get to a non compromised station.

The most fucked is full serve stations with the ads. While my windows are up so Im safe, the poor staff have to listen to an entire gas station worth of pumps blaring ads all day.

Recently I ran into a new one. The pump had a screen, but instead of a tiny screen surrounded by buttons (one of which can be used to mute the video), it was a giant screen with no buttons. Ergo no mute button. I tried clicking around the screen but nothing worked. There’s gotta be a pattern though.

I hate those ones, last one I saw was at a full serve station. Not even fuel select buttons just touch screen for all of it.

Gas pumps get beat up. A touch screen will not suffer that level of abuse for long...
