Fun fact: you can silence most gas pump ads by pushing the second-from-the-top button on the right-hand side of the gas pump screen… Not all pumps, and every now and then I encounter one that uses the third button down, but most pumps I’ve run into can be silenced.
It’s unforgivable they’ve jammed ads into pumps full of disgustingly overpriced gas that you’re already paying for…

I have yet to run into any gas pumps with video ads personally, but this seems like a great way to drive EV adoption

keep an awl in the car… poke the speaker . or, get some 3.5mm male ends and stick it into the headphone port for the bild folks. does it screw the blind/visually impaired from getting gas? sure…but it’s an unfortunate side effect to saving all our ears. I wouldn’t mind if I was blind, I’d just ask the attendant for assistance in pumping.

That used to work but no longer does on a lot in my area. Stuffing recipts in the speaker holes could help if you know what I mean
