most of the gas stations/mini marts now have pumps with a small TV screen in them.
I dont know the reason why everyone of them has the volume turned up so loud it is annoying. the mute button does NOT work
on any of them ! :mad:
I refuse to buy anything advertised this way...............

just another old grumpy guy missing the simpler/better times.

Perfect car jacking scene. While you are absorbed in Cheddar News and the 2 for one heat lamp pizza slices promo, a perp comes up and steals your unlocked and running (shame shame) car.

We have a BP/likker-n- bait store that has old school pumps with slide card readers- not even chip readers.
I rarely run into a pump... no wait, I rarely have seen a pump that won't mute Biffy & Bunny gushing about who's on The Voice. We have a Circle K that won't, and didn't before when it was a Holiday.

The second from the top right button is the universal mute even if it's not labelled.

If you are a veteran, you can get very good help for that, I did. Not 100% cure, but better.
