Pulls up to gas pump and starts pump
"WELCOME TO SHELL!"
startled, ready to fight, "fffuck offff!"
Ughhghghg I HATE talking pumps/ads on pumps. Small stations are now my shiz.
Costco gas is seventy cents cheaper in my area and doesn't show me ads.
Based Costco
Don’t they pay their workers like stupid well for a retail chain too?
Mine shows ads but doesn't play audio. Plus the ads are just for like their Citi credit card, relatively unobtrusive.
Tangentially, I recently came to the unfortunate conclusion that it's just not worth my time to get gas at Costco if there's a line, especially if I'm out and about on a lunch break. The gas is good and it's much cheaper, but if it's like 6 cars back and a 15-20 minute wait, I actually save money by filling up elsewhere and just getting back to work sooner.
