    Shell gas stations in the US have been showing ads on the main machine for years, I’ve never seen them on the handle before. I hate it. I would expect them to break “accidentally” quite often.

      Fun fact for most of these on-pump advertisements: if you see eight buttons in two columns, hitting the third row(?) second column button should mute the speaker.

      Fuck these abominations, fuck the oil industry, fuck the advertising industry, and fuck the snack and beverage companies that advertise their poison on these devices.

        Where I am it was the second down on the right side, but recently the button to mute stopped working around where I live. I have a friend who just sticks his keys through the the speaker grates to kill the speakers lol

          I’ve always seen comments like this when this topic gets brought up, but it’s never worked for me at any pump. I usually start pressing all the buttons when the ad plays, but never any luck
