Yep there is another one
Yeah, it's been bad for many years. I remember this one station in the 90s would ask if you wanted a hot dog/coke combo.

Best Buy for a while required their cashiers to get your zip, phone number and then ask if you want some magazine subscriptions (pretty random)....and you had to choose from this catalog with 6 people waiting in line behind you. I would simply ask "can I just pay for this?"

It's like a cheap buck off surveys and then you get the riff raff. At FSU there was governors square mall and they seemed to get kinda ghetto around fame homecoming but was by and large okay.

Then a couple years ago we went back to check it out and they had a survey biz surrounded in bullet proof glass. They'd pay like 50 bucks for a couple hundred surveys lol.

Do you have a shell credit card?
Are you a member of shell rewards?
Do you want fuel cleaner put in?
Debit or credit?
Enter your zip code?
Would you like a receipt?
Which gas you want?
Yeah, screw that shit - they are trying to data mine every frigging thing on the planet. I just push my card in and enter my pin and it over-rides all that shit.

I think thats what happens for me also, because i don't have to answer all those questions like @croot_lord. Not sure if its just that i don't usually go to Shell or maybe another reason. But usually I just start by putting in my card and then zip code and thats it.
