    Shouldnt suprise you but…US. (Possibly other countries) Years ago they started adding video screens to display certain things, so as natural progression goes….there’s a screen so there will be ads. Loud-as-shit video ads that play as soon as you start pumping. And when no one is at the pumps they cycle silent ad slideshows.

      Damn, audio especially sounds irritating. It seems we can’t escape ads these days…

      I’ve seen a few pumps with ads, but only in the form of a sticker or laminated poster advertising premium fuel or some random tat they’re selling in the garage shop.

        There’s some around me in the US, but they click on while you’re in the middle of pumping gas with the most annoying voice and it’s loud as hell. I don’t go to those stations if I can help it.
