I wouldn't deface them, but I keep a couple mutetheads[0] stickers in my glovebox. Perhaps I can share the "secret mute" button with the next person.

> "secret mute" button

This trick stopped working at all of the gas stations I frequent, sometime within the last year or so.

All at approximately the same time, multiple brands. Or at least multiple signages, not sure I could attest to big oil corporate structure consolidations!

I assume it was a software update from the pump/ad network vendor, possibly in reaction to the secret getting out.

So, thanks. :)

If this is real, this might be the most helpful thing I learn all day. Thanks stranger
