Ads when you’re pumping gas - Lemmy.World
I’m from a US state where we don’t pump our own gas. Since I don’t pump my own
gas regularly - only when I’m out of state - I’m not exactly sure when this
happened, but all gas pumps seem to play ads now while the pump runs. At least
the states adjacent to mine. Like can I not even pump gas in peace? Stop trying
to manipulate my purchasing decisions 24/7.
One of the side buttons mutes it. It varies though as far as I know.
Yep. Most of the time someone has marked it somehow because it’s immensely annoying. That being said, there are a few stations that aren’t able to be muted, so I intentionally make a point to note whatever is being advertised and never buy it.
Ever came across something you really really wanted to buy, but it was “noted”?
If you absolutely need it, then get it used or other method to where the original manufacturer who paid for the ad doesn’t profit, duh.
