I hate advertizing!
Heading from the barn to first job, via the Doughnut Shoppe, see a gas station and remember I'm almost out of gas. It is the Shell station at 911 W. Carson, Torrance CA. They have new pumps. New Very Annoying Pumps. They are equipped with a large video display and large stereo speakers. When you start pumping they start blaring advertisements. Quite loud. Even in the cab with the windows rolled up.
I am NOT going back there again.
Didn't even get a discount for having to listen to the blather. I will be on the watch for such pumps in the future and I will not patronize any gas station that has them.
