If you drink enough of the gas you'll eventually stop seeing the ads
One of my most upvoted comments in lemmy is me saying I should be allowed to smash those screens if they play ads.
Your function is to pump my fucking gas if you do anything more than that fuck off
Nobody is forcing you to use their pumps.
There are only 2 gas stations in my town that don't have these obnoxious ass pumps and both of them are on the other side of town where I'm most likely to get stabbed by a used heroin needle for my shoes.
So yeah I'd say I'm being damn near forced.
How about the entire society designed to be unlivable without a car ? Look, there's a solution we're not seeing here. Every fuel pump is also secretly a flame thrower. It can be used to put the nasty attention stealing machine in its rightful place, the middle of a fire.
If everybody starts doing it (and trust me they will, it's free money after all) we'll be kinda forced to.
only if people don't care enough to do anything about it.
Second buttom from the top right side at least mutes them
The button that is worn out to the point of no longer working. After it quit working, I took to staring directly at the security camera while using my free hand to repeatedly punch the screen playing the commercial. I would rate the screen as disappointingly durable. I have an electric car now so I no longer have to tolerate it.
they upgraded the ones near me, haven't found out how to mute them yet.
This used to work for my local Circle K's and now does not. Not at a single pump I've tried in the last two years. I'm pretty sure it's illegal.
It's not always the same button. My Circle K doesn't have those big screens thankfully.
Works for the old Shell ones.
Never been able to mute any at speedways. I have tried all the tricks that are posted.
Fork into the speaker works
If QuikTrip ever starts using these you can find me in the local jail after doing some light property damage
Yours doesn't? Every one around me does. There is a mute button, and it has always been labeled, so I just wack mute and look at something else.
Different cities, likely. Please tell me you don't live in Wichita
Wichi-nah.
What the fuck? These exist? I haven't been cursed enough to see one.
Second button up on the right side is generally the mute button.
I just push the bittons around in a circle motion till I find it
I accidentally called the attendant for assistance like that once
Did you ask them to mute that shit?
How often am I correct?
80% of the time
I thought it was news!
It is, in a idiocracy kind of way.
Don't see ads at the pumps if you stop using gasoline.
Right, you can just see them at the charging station now.
That's not how charging stations work? 🤷♂️
It will soon.
Around me all the charging stations have giant 120” verticals screens constantly playing video ads at max brightness even in the middle of the night, and they’re always arranged in a way that you’re forced to see them even if you’re just passing by the chargers and not using them.
And you just know they are taking advantage of some subsidized energy prices because they’re “green”.
My guess is you're seeing the L2 chargers outside a grocery store or some such. Those charge so slowly you aren't expected to stick around and look at them, you plug in and do your grocery shopping. If you're looking to charge a significant amount, these are not it.
I've never seen a Level 3 charger with an advertisement. Hell, 90% of the time I have to scour the parking lot to find the charger because they're usually hidden and unlabeled.
Bonus points, if you're fortunate enough to have access to a power outlet where you park, you can usually do 99% of your charging from home, ad free.
This is the way.
Well, that's one point in Tesla's favor then, their chargers have none of that nonsense.
Yea, good thing that entire team didn’t get fired because one loser was having a wittew bitty tantrum….oh wait.
Who's to say what crap the toddler king will tack on in the future, but previously and for now, no ads.
Need to print this as sticker and put it on!
I give those shit places 1 star and never return.
