Fun fact! If the talking pump has buttons (usually four on each side of the screen), press all of them from the top down right when it starts yammering at you, and one or more of these magical button presses should shut its trap!

I, too, hate being audibly ad-blasted at the gas station.

Most of the ones in my area don’t actually mute, sadly.
I once even had an attendant ask what I needed help with over the little speaker, because one of the buttons was an unmarked ‘call for help’ button.

I did try pushing the buttons the other day and got the same. Basically told them I was looking for the mute button and that their speaker was messed up because a previous person had done some manual percussive muting of their speakers.
