      Pretty sure that’s not a touch screen, as evidenced by the buttons on the side. My assumption is photoshopped but also only a matter of time.

            That is some truly malicious compliance on what is clearly a sticker

          I always loved having to make sure the aids for the visually impaired worked, ON THE DRIVE-THOUGH!

          I went to an OnCue a few months ago, made myself a fountain drink, and went to the self-checkout to ring myself up. The self-checkout asked me for a tip. I have never been back to that OnCue ever again.

          The amount of people talking about video ads on their gas pumps really bothers me. That seems faker than the tip screen to me, yet the level of discussion makes it sound common.

          So I’m not sure what I’m supposed to think anymore.

            Where do you live where you’ve never encountered this? I live in New England, and its not at every gas station, but its not uncommon.

      I don’t remember at what company, but I’ve seen this more than once and it’s always hilarious. It’s quite funny watching my SO try and find the hidden mute or close ad button too. I’m glad I’m not from the US myself.

        None of the gas stations around me have rhe “mute” button enabled, but thankfully most of the stations locally don’t blare ads at you while pumping gas. There was one station that tried it years ago and their pumps were constantly vandalized.

          I’m honestly usually surprised that gas stations are often far removed from the highway, and that people used to pump gas for you in many areas.

          The ads at gas stations are so unnecessary and dumb, and the tips are so so strange.

          Kwik Trip has the same mute button on all of their pumps, but not all stations have it labeled. I imagine it’ll be similar for other chains. But if nothing else press all of the buttons and any fun combination you can think of and see what happens! On many card kiosks pressing the 4 corners will force-reboot the computer in it for example

          Sometimes it’s a 2-key combo, 1 on each side. :) Just experiment.

            I should not have to find the combination to get a gas pump to stop advertizing to me. There should be zero ads, or at the least an easy to find and clearly marked “mute” button. It’s easier to break things than it is to find the right buttons.

      I can see this happening on a system originally designed for a different retail environment, and nobody bothered to get rid of the tip screen.

        Or someone was about to disable the tip screen and some clueless middle manager asked if the tip screen could increase the amount of the sale, then ordered it left in.
