    They don’t exist in my country, and to be frank, I’m shocked the ones in the US aren’t vandalised to hell and back by masked vigilantes at night.

      The screen used for blaring ads is the same screen that you have to read to be able to use the pump.

        Show ads on the screen -> screen is vandalised -> nobody can buy gas anymore -> people go to the gas station without ads (and thereby functioning screens) -> lose money to the competition-> recognise that you lose money by blaring ads -> stop blaring ads -> … -> profit

          Hm. That’s a good point.

          Better would be destroying the speakers. I can just look away from the screen showing ads, but it’s still annoying if they’re blaring in my ear.
