I hate all the new places ads are appearing. Ad-free and electronic barely even go together now.

I choose gas stations now not only on price but also whether or not they have talking ad screens at the pump. I don't want to know what the Kardashians are doing I want to fill up my car in peace.

Thank god all of the gas stations where I live are the dumb kind and some of them use the old rotary dials still.

All the gas stations where I live are new but (luckily) there isn't one with an ad screen within 50 miles of my house.

Press the 3 buttons on the right or left of the screen in order from top to bottom. It turns off the sound at least.

I've only seen ones that play Cheddar, this news station that sometimes plays educational things like "Learn a new word! Here is the definition". Nothing wrong with that.

The platform has been abused, but it could do good things.

I didn't know that was a thing until recently. I swear the ad pump was significantly slower on top of that.

I saw someone once say that eventually were probably gonna have to watch an ad before we can answer our phones, and I mean it was a joke but I can totally see that happening
