    Gas stations have also gotten unbearable. I loathe the screen that forces advertising content in front of me while I’m already paying for gas.

        Yes, I’m surprised out haven’t seen it. The screen that takes card information will start playing some insufferable advertisement while the gas pumps.

        For those who don’t know: one of the physical unlabeled buttons on the side of the screen always mutes it, so just push all of them if some kind stranger hasn’t marked it for you.

        I’ve seen one in the US, but it was in a small town with only one has station. No need to treat your customers nice if there is no competition, haha
