Sure, but that doesn’t mean they have to remove the mute button or make it so damn loud.

It’s less expensive than having a worker do it. I get what you’re saying. So do the people that design these processes. They don’t care about anything but efficiency and the lowest common denominator.

Granma Mabel who is 94 but still insists on buying her own groceries needs it to be that damn loud and it’s easier for the supermarkets to just make that the default option. I only defend it because it makes practical sense, I don’t like it that loud either.

But, agreed, for the love of fuck, give me the mute button. Please.

Bonus pro tip: all the annoying gas station screens that blare ads and tiktoks at you can also usually be muted. All the ones in my area have 8 unmarked soft buttons around the screen and the second one from the top on the right side is the mute button. It seems consistent across all brands of gas station with ad screens.

I’m trying this the next time I pull up to a Shell station. I hate feeling like I’m in a Ford truck commercial thanks to that music they play every time I fill up there.
