I can't stand when that machine starts talking to me while I'm filling up! It doesn't help that they usually have them turned up to the loudest volume... Our dispenser sits right on top of the gas pump and displays "take-one" offers from local Richmond businesses. If a customer is interested in the offer, they can take the coupon for more information. We think that local business owners are going to be impressed with the results of our new form of gas station advertising. Most people don't realize that 10,000 people fill up at an average station in a month. You can see a photo of our dispenser and an illustration of how the coupons work at: www.ValuPump.com Michael Mason CEO, ValuPump www.ValuPump.com 1.877.ValuPump Mr. Ficor,

User experience should always be thought through. I was thinking yesterday about the market gains that could be won by a national gas station franchise by making a bold move—offering pumping service at no premium. It's a throwback to when we called them service stations. Mr. Ficor has a good point for gas stations to consider. User experience should always be thought through.

Those drive-in movie speakers that start blaring away as soon as you engage the pump are despicable. It’s an ok idea as long as he doesn’t use any audio device.
