    Please tell me this is photoshopped and these fuckers aren’t seriously asking for tips at self service stations…

      Hey, don’t be so cruel. These machines are paid below minimum wage, and if you don’t tip, they won’t be able to pay their rent and student loans.

      Yeah haha definitely fake, these pumps don’t have touch screens so this interface wouldn’t work on them. Choices have to be aligned with the 4 buttons on the left and right. Second one from the top on the right side will mute the ads also.

        I’m sorry, did you just say “mute the ads”? Damn, america really is in the terminal stages of late stage capitalism

          Yeah I’ve never gotten any of the buttons to do it.
          Internet wives tale.

              Yeah same with me. Circle K is the only place around here whose pumps play ads though, so maybe it’s just their machines it works on. Someone even scrawled “<- mute” in permanent marker next to the button on all their pumps.

          Yeah, very angrily discovered this the other day while filling up my bike. Ear plugs go right back in, in spite of needing the break.
