I’ve heard this rumor before but I’ve never found a mute button on a single pump. I’ve pressed them all.

At the one gas pump in my town that does it, it's the second or third button on the right side of the screen.
And if they ever patch that, I'm filling the speaker holes with spray foam.

JFC your guys gas pump ads have SOUND???

Here I am bitching about screen brightness. Pretty sure that would be illegal in Canada. At least I friggin hope it is.

It gets worse:

Luckily the company behind them went bankrupt, but it's only a matter of time before someone else is more successful with the idea.

Fuuuuuuuuuuckthat. I bet the only reason they 'went bankrupt' was because big oil and auto was worried it might push people to buy electric.

You should spray foam anyway.

It can be hit or miss. I think the button sometimes gets worn out too.
