You know what's even worse? Gas station TV (GSTV.com). Utterly awful content that nobody ever wanted, spewed at you by the pump while you're filling up your car.
Speedway doesn't bother with that. They just play an endless loop at high volume hawking the highest margin products from the store with happy, smiling faces. It's turned me off from buying gas from them actually.
They also used to play loud pop music in the stores until the clerks couldn't stand it themselves and lowered the volume. Every time the district manager visits he makes them crank it up high and the minute he leaves the volume goes back down again ;<)!
At least you can hit the second button down on the right to mute it.
There was a gas station that I used that had that annoying GSTV stuff going, but one day the machine refused to give me my receipt until the video stopped playing. Amusingly, that location closed less than a month after that. Good riddance.
A new one opened in its place with none of that nonsense.
It always seemed to me that was sponsored content that probably subsidizes the gas station a bit. Kind of like the crap software that comes preinstalled on PCs to give a little extra kick back to the bottom line for the manufacturer.
