Except for when it doesn't. I usually just avoid places that have it. If I can't, I start the pump and step back far enough that I can't see or hear it.

Fuck whoever's idea it was to blast people with noise and ads when they're already getting my money. It's insulting.

Where I used to live, they were adamant about playing Jimmy Fallon snippets. I hate Jimmy Fallon and this gas station was of course the only gas station on my route to/from work so I had no choice but to listen to the same goddamn Jimmy Fallon snippets idk how many times over the course of idk how many months before they changed it.

The literal only good thing I have ever seen on those screens was the weather, and I've only encountered that once or twice. Those monitors are the worst.
