"If there are ads"

WTF where do you live?

Ads at pumps are fairly common in the US. They been around since 2019 if not earlier.

I think he meant this as where would someone live that it would be an if. Ads are pervasive

[–] rants_unnecessarily@piefed.social 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

No ads in Europe as far as I've seen.

Not as many but there are occasional posters, banners, window ads. Hard to be in a public place without them.

In Latvia there is gas station chain that has no workers. Fully self service. They have screens that run ads.

AFAIK, in some countries some stations that have workers and where you have to go to pay at cash register also have pumps with screens and play ads on them. Some even have pistols with screens for the same purpose. Yep.
