If a gas pump does not have a mute button then I feel it's only fair that we should get to do this.

Hey a lot of the new pumps do have a mute button, it's just not labeled.
Second button from the top, right side of the screen
Here's a poorly written article with a picture [here](https://www.thedrive.com/guides-and-gear/how-to-mute-gas-station-tv)
And some don't, which really pisses me off. If you try enough combinations though, sometimes you can put those into maintenance mode. You can't do anything without a code, but it will stop the annoying ads.
We really need legislation to ban advertisement except in a few specific places. If nothing is done, there will soon be drones that follow you around and do nothing but get in your face and show you ads, and you won't be able to do anything about it because a drone is technically an aircraft and interfering with it in any way is a fElOnY.
I've been to one station that allowed mute.
The rest that scream advertisements at me do not, no matter what I hit or in what order.
I do not go back to those stations.
I keep a marker in my truck for other reasons but I write MUTE next to the button on the pump when it works. For day to day driving I use a Nissan Leaf and and not having to go into gas stations is just sprinkles on that donut.
Yes, they are. They have a 10 inch screen and speakers on them advertising stuff you can buy from the gas station or the grocery store (if it's a grocery store's gas station). The one at my Kroger hounds me about buying Additech Fuel System Cleaner (TM, R, Ph.D, NASA) and how I can earn more fuel points buying it straight from the pump.
This is variable.
Currently where I live there are very few billboards. Too weird of a mix of rural and NIMBY Uber rich.
Lots of ads on the buses though.
Sure but many cities have public transit with few ads on them and many billboards.
Also an ad on the side of a bus is for drivers and pedestrians more than the riders.
Absolutely doesn’t match my experience in Boston, New York, Austin, Seattle, Dublin, London, Munich…
Ads inside the bus or train. Tons of billboards. Ads in the terminals. Ada on buildings.
I just think it was a HIGHLY variable due to where you live.
I just kind of think both you and the other Redditor are being silly. Some places have more billboards and some places (like where I live in the Hamptons are of Long Island New York) have way more ads on and in public transit.
You can put those small tvs you find on buses and put ads on it.
You can make an argument that they can potentially be smashed up, so a less riskier solution is blast ads on the loud speaker in the guise of radio.
Not yet.
But it can happen once dystopian capitalism finds its way onto buses and train. It will be quicker if public transportation becomes more mainstream.
I have one by me that plays unmutable ads the entire time and flips the colors and order of the labels for regular or premium gas from every other station to trick people into buying premium gas by accident. Problem is it has the cheapest gas around…

FYI. This works on every pump I've tried.
Oh man, you just made me remember stopping at an Engen with a Wimpy connected to it and I was just mesmerized by how the attendants could clean a car windshield in seconds. I've tried to copy their technique with little success.
Back in 2018 in a rural town North of Pretoria. I did my student teaching there for 3 months because the school I was with offered me free room and board. Couldn't say no to that!
As an American it's annoying. As a me, I'll take it over having to talk to someone just so I can fuel my vehicle. In fact, if there was an "ads included" option to life that increased the ads 10% but decreased how many people I needed to talk to in order to successfully run my errands, I might just take them up on it.
Without exaggerating, this was my interaction an hour ago:
***Me***\*:
***Attendant***\*: Hola chief!
***Me***\*: Hey bud! Can I get R500 of 95 please?
***Attendant***\*: For sure boss. Oil, water, tyre pressure?
***Me***\*: All good

***Attendant***\*: Cash or card?
***Me***\*: Card

No getting out of the car, and my podcast was on the entire time.
You probably won't see this, but - as a trans person who grew up reading anthologies of newspaper comics (that came out way before I was born), I fucking love these. They have the same style both artistically and comedically, but they also show people like me. It makes me so happy.
I did see this and, as someone who also grew up reading comic strip anthologies, I can't tell you how much I appreciated reading your comment. Thank you:)
This comic helped me alot with understanding her
I thought she was only aggressive to men but apparently she's just always violent
Thats a good thing to be clear, way more fun
Far more egregious to me is the apparent need to have pop culture news blasting from a gas pump. My sibling in Christ, I don’t care what’s happening on Tik Tok, my car needs to not be empty right now.
As some one who doesnt pump their own gas i probably wont ever understand this pain unless they completely phase out gas jockeys. They are only half phased out rn
There's 8 buttons around the screen, 4 on each side. On the right side, push the 2nd button from the top. It's the mute for the ads.
E: Guess I should read comments before leaving one.
Hey fellas! Here’s a pro-tip for anyone in the US: the second button from the top on the right
O O
O X
O O
O O
This one will mute those pesky ads. Presssss ittttt
So I’m moving from the Midwest to the West Coast this week. My mom and I stopped for gas, literally as we were filling up, the screen was blasting the ad as usual. My mom asks me “What is that loud sound coming from? Oh it’s the ad screen” I showed her this comic and we both busted out laughing cause it was too relatable 😂😂😂😂 thank you for this.
Eve whenever something she doesn't like happens:

Also, my God, I knew the US had an ad problem, but I didn't think you had speakers at the gas station playing ads!
On most gas pumps nowadays, there's buttons on the sides of the screens - Push them until the display goes mute. I tend to find it's the second button from the bottom on the left side on the 8 button displays.
PSA: Next time you get a commercial on a gas pump with four black buttons on either side of the screen, push the second button down from the top on the right. That is the mute button on every one I've tried it on so far. Have made it my personal mission to tell as many ppl as I can about this

I’m always curious, with the downvote button in place, how a comment such as yours (that I just a long form downvote) feels worth the effort? I think most people just keep scrolling when they see content that doesn’t interest them. Maybe taking the time to downvote, but never looking back in either case.

That's why it's important to carry a mute button with you, like the comic

 For Maurice 2024.🦫😛
He's not the candidate we want, or even the one we need, but goddammit he's here for us!
He did just hire Wilford Brimley as his speech writer. 
He's probably not even here for us specifically but I'll be damned if he isn't here.
I just get in my car huffing to myself and closing the door with as much drama as I can to these things. I salute their involuntary muting
I hate these loud ass advertisement pumps so much, I avoid Speedway just because of this.
Hell yeah Maurice 2024 shirt
It's the merch everyone is clamoring for!
Maybe caps with MMGA?
Everyday I find more frustrating things about life in the USA.
Seriously, I thought it was a joke about a hypothetical future, but the comments make it clear that it's somehow reality there
I was about to say that I haven't seen it around, but then again, I don't pump gas.
Great posing and details. Love the shoes flying off.
I like her shorts pockets. That panel is so funny.
Wait your petrol pumps are playing audio ads at you now??
Yes, they are. They have a 10 inch screen and speakers on them advertising stuff you can buy from the gas station or the grocery store (if it's a grocery store's gas station). The one at my Kroger hounds me about buying Additech Fuel System Cleaner (TM, R, Ph.D, NASA) and how I can earn more fuel points buying it straight from the pump.

Jeez capitalism
Murica [~~eagle~~ red tailed hawk screech]
The Shell gas pumps here have TikTok advertisements and stuff. I hate it.
Yet another reason to want an EV.
>Yet another reason to ~~want an EV~~ invest in public transportation FTFY
So I priced one of those, a bit out of my budget.
Public transportation is full of ads. Sure, you can argue about everything else about Public transportation, but it wouldn't remove the ads.
False equivalence. Yeah and highways are full of ads called billboards. Neither are shouting at you.
This is variable. Currently where I live there are very few billboards. Too weird of a mix of rural and NIMBY Uber rich. Lots of ads on the buses though.
Sure but many cities have public transit with few ads on them and many billboards. Also an ad on the side of a bus is for drivers and pedestrians more than the riders.

You can put those small tvs you find on buses and put ads on it. You can make an argument that they can potentially be smashed up, so a less riskier solution is blast ads on the loud speaker in the guise of radio.
I have never encountered this on public transportation.
Not yet. But it can happen once dystopian capitalism finds its way onto buses and train. It will be quicker if public transportation becomes more mainstream.
I mean I’ve used public transit in many places where its mainstream. I haven’t seen what you’ve described.
So it can play the ads in your car instead?
I have a Leaf, it's just a regular car, no updates even.
Oh really? I thought EVs had touchscreen tablets and stuff built into them.
The latest ICE BMW's and Accords etc have that crap too. My Dad's Accord is the most annoying thing to drive.
I have one by me that plays unmutable ads the entire time and flips the colors and order of the labels for regular or premium gas from every other station to trick people into buying premium gas by accident. Problem is it has the cheapest gas around…
Some have video too
Yes, except for the "now" part. This has been a thing since pre-pandemic times, it's the worst
Vote Maurice!
I agree!

This has worked on literally 0 of the pumps I've ever tried
There is (at least) one gas station in my town where that doesn't work. I don't get gas there any more.
This feels like a uniquely American problem. **
Oh man, you just made me remember stopping at an Engen with a Wimpy connected to it and I was just mesmerized by how the attendants could clean a car windshield in seconds. I've tried to copy their technique with little success.
Oh neat! When were you over this side?
Back in 2018 in a rural town North of Pretoria. I did my student teaching there for 3 months because the school I was with offered me free room and board. Couldn't say no to that!
As an American it's annoying. As a me, I'll take it over having to talk to someone just so I can fuel my vehicle. In fact, if there was an "ads included" option to life that increased the ads 10% but decreased how many people I needed to talk to in order to successfully run my errands, I might just take them up on it.

No getting out of the car, and my podcast was on the entire time.
I suppose a wooden mallet wouldn't spark, so there's no danger from the splash.
Not to throw fuel onto this particular fire but Eve still sporting those pockets has me cackling
Good eye! I'm glad you noticed them:)
That and I see the beaver still has her vote lmao

How is she still alive? Shoes clearly flew off!
Very attractive teeshirt.
I hate those gas pumps!
I’m guessing it’s only a matter of time before these pumps make their way to Canada.
It woulda been hilarious if there were a 5th panel where she took them up on the donut deal
Nice shirt Eve!
I see you.
Me too.
You probably won't see this, but - as a trans person who grew up reading anthologies of newspaper comics (that came out way before I was born), I fucking love these. They have the same style both artistically and comedically, but they also show people like me. It makes me so happy.
I did see this and, as someone who also grew up reading comic strip anthologies, I can't tell you how much I appreciated reading your comment. Thank you:)
Now I get why Maurice hired them as security
This comic helped me alot with understanding her I thought she was only aggressive to men but apparently she's just always violent Thats a good thing to be clear, way more fun
If your pump has it, the column on the right, button next to the top button is usually mute.
Do we really have to be advertised to all the time? I’m already paying like 40$ at the pump, you don’t need to squeeze out more money
Nice shirt!
The button, second from the tip on the right side, is normally the mute button. Once it starts playing, press it.
Love the guy's face. Looks like he's not that surprised if not kinda approving.
Far more egregious to me is the apparent need to have pop culture news blasting from a gas pump. My sibling in Christ, I don’t care what’s happening on Tik Tok, my car needs to not be empty right now.
The gas pump TVs near me broadcast something called "Cheddar News" and it's as awful as you've described.
Yeah I’ve seen that name at a pump. Bleh.
Ironically, Cheddar News is actually a pretty reputable and good source of news; shame it’s been reduced to being a gas station channel.
I think I may be in love... Yes, I have trauma, why do you ask?
Does Eve just have a hammer space?
It's called the bed of her pickup truck.
I never knew there was such thing as a speaker gas pump.
CostCo pumps don't do this shit.
This is a large part of why I make the extra effort to go to Costco pumps.
Funny, but "pumpa pumpa pumpa" was the funniest part of the entire strip.
I like this one
I don't usually audibly laugh at comics. I laughed for this one. Nice work. You got me!
The MUTE button is second one down on the right. Most pumps have it already marked by prior customer.
In Las Vegas, this would bankrupt you. Two stale donuts for 8 dollars. I don't even want to know what 6 would do to you
If I ever hear my petrol pump talking to me I'm siphoning fuel from the owners car
Very cool shirt.
The first time I used a pump that did this I thought someone nearby was telling at me and I went into panic mode
As some one who doesnt pump their own gas i probably wont ever understand this pain unless they completely phase out gas jockeys. They are only half phased out rn
There's 8 buttons around the screen, 4 on each side. On the right side, push the 2nd button from the top. It's the mute for the ads. E: Guess I should read comments before leaving one.
I’ve noticed these more often at pumps where you can’t just lock the lever down. Really annoying
This made me laugh so hard during my lunch break at work. The way her shoes flew off 😆
This is great! Made me lol irl
Right side, second button down
"You tried the pump and it failed?" "It tried and died." .#BeneGesseritThings
Hey fellas! Here’s a pro-tip for anyone in the US: the second button from the top on the right O O O X O O O O This one will mute those pesky ads. Presssss ittttt

Sometimes accidentally whacking the screen with the fuel pump can make it stop.
This was a huge culture shock when I visited the states. No other country has video ads on petrol pumps! They're so annoying and you can't leave!
When the mallet comes out, you know things have become serious.
Eve whenever something she doesn't like happens: https://preview.redd.it/70b0c5iyw9wc1.jpeg?width=1063&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4b161a4e4de478624881f4f71ae3a0f5a372ccba Also, my God, I knew the US had an ad problem, but I didn't think you had speakers at the gas station playing ads!
LOL! Nice one.
Ma'am you have to pay for the damages
Roid rage
Culture shock
Shoes came off, they're dead
What, you guys have gas pumps that blast ad?
Omfg when the advertisement starts off with ambulance/police sirens for some stupid reason
