Have you ever experienced annoying gas pumps before? They are shit and I will avoid any station that implements anything even remotely similar to this. If they want to have the weather on a screen, that's cool, but I'm not going to go to your business if it means I need to be blasted with ads while I fill my vehicle.

I cant fucking understand how people can't just go a few minutes without constant entertainment

>>16188711
>the 5 minutes it takes to fill your tanks

Lel maybe if you're filling a semi. The average tank takes less than a minute to fill. It's pretty fucked how people can't go a minute without media.

>>16188287
>not being able to spend 2 minutes away from your phone

>>16188740

Must be the pumps here are slower. Takes 2-3 minutes to fill my compact car.

There are already pumps here that play videos while you wait. They're annoying as shit. The videos aren't so bad normally, but they show ads for the gas station (come inside and try our delicious new whatever!) for a solid 30 seconds after you're done pumping before you can get a receipt.

Pretty sure eventually it'll just be a pre-programmed amount of time where they just play ads, regardless of when you're done pumping. Like getting gas will automatically take 10 minutes no matter what, because you'll have to wait 10 minutes for all the ads to play, or you can pay an extra $1 and skip half the ads. Motion detector will tell if you leave early and fine you $10 if you do. It'll serve as a sort of punishment (on top of the $8/gallon gas you're buying) for still driving an ICE vehicle in 20 years or whatever.

What the fuck is wrong with your pumps? Is just that one station? Why would you wait that long? Is waiting 15 minutes to save $2 every time you fill up worth it?

I would drive miles to avoid dealing with that thing.

My usual place has a wonderful innovation for filling the car. Pay at pump. You stick your card in the slot and approve it for use, pump your fuel, decline the receipt, and you drive off.
You don't have to talk to anybody.
You don't have to walk anywhere.
You don't have to queue up to pay.

Technology is so easy to do right. You just don't include shitty features that shout at you, or superfluous screens. But they want to paste ads over everything.
Hell, I tried to hook an amazon fire stick to the TV for my mother, and IT TALKED AT ME FOR TEN FUCKING MINUTES. Unskippable. With some creepy-looking cartoon dancing around and yelling at me while trying to sell me things.

>>16187964
You can often still do that in the States, at least up until fairly recently. In my State the fine for pumping gas and running off without paying was limited to $35, so the gas stations were encouraged to make you prepay.

>>16189037
I'm on the clock while filling up. I know where the slow stations are, and I go there on purpose.

I also don't want to listen to a pump spouting shit. I want to fill up with fuel, that's it. What's going to happen now is dumb fucks are going to stand around infront of these pumps for 10 or 15 minutes fucking around with the features and taking selfies and make the rest of us wait.

>>16190504
Glorious Hi-Flow pumps.

The garbage they play at servos already is bad enough, always top 50 or whatever nigger shit the attendant has plugged in. Let me listen to the pump and nothing else please.

>>16187934
If it was just a weather forecast that would actually be pretty cool. Mayne a little ad with the specials going on i ther service station i could live with. What snacks and drinks are buy one get one. What flavor slush it's they have etc. Also the volume on those things are ridiculus. They need a volume button. Nothing is more annoying the have a nice peaceful night drive and when you stop to get gas the pump starts blaring shitty music at you.

>>16189325
Nice. That's almost up there with taking a shit on company time.

It's still a rewarding feeling even if I'm salary.

>>16187836
Everyone thinks you're a boring loser unless your constantly posting pictures of yourself hanging out with people somewhere. It's fucking stupid.

>>16191797
Wait, they play music at petrol stations in America?

Christ. In britain, the only noise is that of the pumps, the road, and vehicles pulling in and out.
Filling up in the middle of nowhere at night is quiet as fuck.

>>16192346
>Wait, they play music at petrol stations in America?
Yes from large speakers off the roof. it's not bad.

>>16191810
Every station I've seen with screens always has ads with sound blasting, it's never been quiet. There's a grocery store near me that displays the local weather on mute on the screen that lists the items during checkout. It's handy. I wouldn't mind something like that and a slideshow or something of shit in the gas station but anything with sound is too much, and a pump that tracks you can calls out to you would be god awful.

>>16192346
It's not super common where I live but I've seen a few places that do it. I have a friend that works at one and he turns on music when he's out sweeping the lot but leaves it off otherwise.

>>16191810
I just don't use stations with any sort of noise coming from their machines

>>16187581
fucking why? How long are people taking to gas up a pump that they need to listen to music or do trivia or some shit? What the fuck?

>>16192396
Seriously, they LITERALLY all have mute buttons. Just push it and the sound is gone. The new ones will have one too.

>>16192429
They LITERALLY have a gas station across the street, I can just tell those places to fuck off

I don't understand why filling up should be an "experience". It's just something you need to do. I know the oil and automotive industry is worried about millennials not buying cars and riding each others dicks with their own self assigned gender labels, but no one's going to go and finance a Nissan Juke just to have the pleasure to fill up at a talking petrol pump every week.

I enjoy pumping gas in silence, and people watching. The fuck does this talking pump solve? We are killing ourselves with tech overflow, and I am in this field, I understand why they're doing it.

More tech like this means more profit for any company involved with machines taking over...

btw, pumps like these will only be offered/sold to certain areas, there are projects in play to sell tech like this but a business has to qualify first, don't think any of us will see these pumps in the next 5 years anywhere near us..
