 My GRIPE for the evening (Or awhile) |
Cojak |
We just made a round trip of 1650 miles from NC to mid Florida in 2-3 days. I filled up several times. I despise a fuel tank that has a 6"x8" screen yelling at me of new products for sale. With my hearing it makes me want to smash the screen. I won't do it, but I do understand why a person who wants to smash the whole set-up, DOES!

Now you cannot gripe for a while!

Agreed. Can't we have a moment's peace from commercialism?

| I think those things are kind of cool, but I can see why they might be annoying to some. I don’t ever buy what they’re selling, but I can see why they might result in more folks actually going inside and buying something instead of just buying gasoline. |

| I find it annoying as well. Friend of mine owns several gas stations and he swears he doesn’t make much money off of gasoline. That’s why they try so hard to get you inside. Most items inside have a huge markup. |

That has been the truth since I worked at a gas station. the gas paid the utilities. But at the time my boss was an out and out crook. He would cut fan belts wipe off oil filters to look new and add oil instead of changing the oil and filters.
But my annoyance comes from the added noise to my hearing devices that drives me up a wall. MAYBE IF THEY WEREN'T SO LOUD, it would not be as annoying.

I don't like the screens that do the commercials but I do enjoy the units that give the latest sports report
