I had stopped for gas at a Sunoco and when I got out of the car the pump seemed normal until I had completed the process of dipping in my card and putting my information, however when i began to pump gas I realized that local ads began playing on a small screen on the pump. The ads were only 10 or 15 seconds long each, one was a weather report, one was for a nearby shopping center, etc. However what really got my attention was that in the time 4 ads played i had spent 7.00 more than I had intended. Do you think that this is dishonest to technically "distract" customers while they are pumping gas, effectively spending their money. Worth noting the ads only played when gas was pumping not before or after.
