Two things bug me about US gas stations. One is the 9/10 of cent thing they persist in. So the gas isn't $3.29, it's $3.29 9/10. And of course you know who benefits from the rounding, the retailer. The other thing that bugs me is gas pumps that play ads loudly. Luckily those seem to be getting more rare.
Before it was common knowledge how to mute those screens, I saw a rash of screens & speakers damaged right after the ads started being introduced.
