The pumps have little screens on the that play adds and yell at you. They used to just use speakers to play the adds to the whole complex, but now they're right in your face. There's lots of surveillance, too, since they want to be able to prosecute you if you somehow manage to get gas without paying. It makes sabotaging the screens complicated.

That truly sounds annoying. So what next? Ads on the screen of your cars while stuck in traffic?

If you count the billboards on the side of the road, then yes.

I got it billboards that have an RFID and zap ads to your cars display and crank the volume. Also a future version that ques to play on your retina when you're done driving for people with a neural ink chip installed. That or que ads in your dreams
