It must be cool to live in a developed country. In my country people would just break or steal the screens.
My first thought was "I'd break that annoying fucker."
I asked myself if I could steal and use it as a screen for my raspberry pi..
That's what the whole nozzle assembly probably is => a Stanley knife should help. After you finished filling up of course.
Unfortunately I live in a country where you can't fill your tank yourself. There's a law to "protect jobs" so every gas station has to hire employees to pump gas for clients. Besides, I really doubt that someone would have the courage to put those screens on gas pumps. We once were the country that most broke paid phones in the world, back in the 90s. Imagine what people would do to these things.
Ha! Now those fuckers have to watch ads all day!
Actually that must really suck. Poor fuckers.
