Why would your refrigerator have a screen?

Why would you buy such a refrigerator?

Why do gas pumps have screens?

Especially lately. The screens used to just be for controlling the pump or letting the station show a silent ad or two for products in their convenience store. Or community ads.

NOW THEY BLARE RANDOM ADS AS YOU GAS UP YOUR VEHICLE.

It's bliss after hours when the gas station is about to close and the ads stop. You can pump up in peace. Although when the ads crash the pump, have fun paying for gas.
