Might be different depending on the chain, location, etc., but this always works for me.

Wait, what? Gas pumps play commercials now? Is this an American thing?

That's proper dystopian

I wouldn't know since I'm Oregonian, and we have the plebs pump our gas for us.

I thought they stopped that? Eh, I managed to pump my gas last year when I went through the shithole state.

Nope, it's still unlawful for you to pump your own gas. Unless you're at a Loves or another station meant for truck drivers, in which case you can because reasons.

That being said, no one will try to stop you if you want to pump your own gas. The entire reason the law exists is to keep people who couldn't find a job elsewhere out of trouble.

You can pump your own on motorcycles and in fuel canisters. They definitely don't stop you if you want to pump it yourself though.

It's a good job for the kids, I often bullshit with them and head out in the hills. Half of them I run into while 4x4ing, enjoying the outdoors.

Is half this board Oregonians? I'm pretty sure I've now seen over a dozen so far.

It’s a law in NJ too.

I used to be one, but moved out due to circumstances, I still visit the area to meet up with friends and to tend properties though. There's been a surprising number of people whom I think are close to me geographically.

I had a stoner forget to put my cap back on and it fell off and broke. Then I had to deal with a check engine light which limped moded my subi until I stuck something down the hole far enough to have it kill the code. Not a big deal to buy another cap if you're in a city or town but not an outpost in the eastern desert of the states.

Yep. Shell, Exxon, Speedway, and Sheetz do for sure. I haven't been to a BP in years so not sure there.

Our local Chevron and Exxon don't do this, thankfully.

Where I live we literally have something called Gas Station Tv. Yes television that plays for you while you pump gas.

Sounds like a Marathon station....the only one I've found around me that's literally impossible to mute.

It’s an atrocious play at marketing to an already explouted market. Definitely the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard or seen comes through gas pump advertisements. Seriously, thank you.

Crowbar works too. Still finishes pumping the gas.

Can confirm. Been doing this for years. If it isnt that one, try them all. One of them 100% will mute it.

None of the ones I've seen, unfortunately. And I've definitely looked.

I figured this out recently too! I think it's different on different machines but I was so happy when it shut up!

Tired of paying to be advertised to? Immediately terminate the transaction and find another station. They'll get the hint eventually.

Confirmed and thank you.

My favorite one is the guy with the exceptionally overly dark black beard standing there with a backpack on and he looks like he's about 55. pedo much?
