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.
