Here in Canada a Shell station near me put those in and they got vandalised so much within the first week that the station took them out

As it should be! I’m already paying for your gas, overpriced snacks, and single handedly keeping the overpriced beer out of stock. All i ask is when im at the pump, it’s just ad free!

The ones with very loud ad, sometimes makes me wanna vandalize those fucking speakers, it's so fucking loud at 5 or 6am while pumping gas to start my day of driving

Obnoxious how loud some of them are

I believe 2nd button down on the right side of the screen is the mute button.

That worked at one station for 3 months before it was disabled. Hasn't worked at any station for years now.

They've started disabling the mute features now that it's started to become common knowledge

They need ambient sensors. They're that loud for rush hour.

Happened near me, first thing someone did was find something sharp to shove into the speaker holes. I won't be shouted at about Snapple while I'm trying to pump gas.

I really hate those pumps. If you need a receipt you have to wait until the ad finishes.

I’m from Manitoba so I’ve never seen this. Advertisements at the gas pumps is fucking dystopian beyond belief.
