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.

I have, but smaller than this. This seems like it's straight up a safety issue.

I'm so glad my country has strict rules around where advertising can be displayed.

You wouldn't likely see it on the handle in the US because it's uncommon to hold the handle. Most people prop the catch so that it stays running on its own.

Came looking for this. 👍

I'm still looking for the asshole that invented those. Please tell me if you know who he is?

I hear this stuff does the job

Reminds me of the company that did smart coolers for gas station coolers. It cost thousands of dollars and required proprietary service for this display. Idk if anyone is bankrupt but the company that made them essentially stopped supporting them so has stations have worthless screens blocking the merchandise

The Netherlands tries really hard to be Europes US...

I'm usually not in favor of this sort of thing. But I think there are some instances where that may be justified. This screen serves ZERO public benefit. It's just there to annoy you. So IMHO doing something like 3d printing a cover that you leave on the screen is a public service.

If you don't know about automatic metal punches, they're a great solution to these fuckin' things. Small enough to be palmed and will punch right through a screen with little effort.

Yes this is an invitation to it. Destroy that shit.

This was reported but I don't think it warrants censorship.

If you're taking this more seriously than it should be, just keep in mind that there will likely be legal consequences since gas stations frequently have plenty of cameras and ask yourself if this hill is worth dying on. You'll get charged and they'll just replace the damn things anyways.

ah fuck did I really drop it a third time!? I'm sooo clumsy

They look rugged. My suggestion is a liquid solution that either desilves glues or one that binds like glue. 👍

There's always a mute button. Sometimes it's through the speaker cone.

I’ve only experienced this at Sinclair. I refuse to give them business and have given bad reviews to those near me for it

Often times you can press one of the buttons to mute it, although apparently some pumps have decided you're not allowed to decide when you want to hear your own thoughts. Just start pushing the buttons on either side of the screen, chances are one of them will shut it up.

If I can't mute them I take my knife and destroy the speaker if its accessible.

Every car at a gas station has an exhaust system with temperatures well over the ignition point of gasoline. If there was a problem we would have to let our cars tool for half an hour a quarter mile away from the pumps before we pushed them there by hand.

fortunately gasoline only burns in a narrow range of mixtures which are impossible to get in open air.

What's this no cell phones near gas station nonsense?

Mmm I should buy a moissanite ring

If you try to close the ad then the hose sucks the gasoline out of your tank but still charges you for the amount pumped. Also good luck getting the right fuel for your engine, the pump selection system has been replaced with a gacha game. Try again and maybe next time you'll get Diesel-chan!
