Most of them the second button down on the right is mute, though I've been running into some recently that disabled the mute.
Anyway, I sharpie a "mute" next to the button on stations where it isn't labeled for other people. It's one bit of graffiti that I'm not at all conflicted about.
This never works for me at any brand gas station. I try it every time.
I've had the exact opposite experience. Only once has the second button down from the right not worked. But in that instance it was the bottom right button.
Neither of those work at the gas station nearest my house. In my frustration I began running my fingers up and down the buttons and found that if you press the second from the top on both sides you get into an administrative screen. Pump still works fine and the ad is muted, and it resets when I leave.
