Do you ever get annoyed by ads at the pump? Now you don t have to.Collinnn7/Reddit
If you’re ever annoyed by the loud advertisements that play as you’re filling up your rank at a local Valero gas station, you’re not alone.
Thankfully, one San Antonio resident is coming through to save the day.
Reddit user u/Collinnn7 took to the r/sanantonio subreddit to share a secret he discovered – on accident, no less – while pumping gas recently at a Valero.
“I was trying to press the button to bring up the ‘Print Receipt?’ screen and I hit the mute button by mistake,” u/Collinnn7 told MySA. “The volume on the ad shut off and I didn’t know if it was because I had pressed the [button] or because I was finished pumping.”
