I went to an OnCue a few months ago, made myself a fountain drink, and went to the self-checkout to ring myself up. The self-checkout asked me for a tip. I have never been back to that OnCue ever again.
I don’t remember at what company, but I’ve seen this more than once and it’s always hilarious. It’s quite funny watching my SO try and find the hidden mute or close ad button too. I’m glad I’m not from the US myself.
None of the gas stations around me have rhe “mute” button enabled, but thankfully most of the stations locally don’t blare ads at you while pumping gas. There was one station that tried it years ago and their pumps were constantly vandalized.
Kwik Trip has the same mute button on all of their pumps, but not all stations have it labeled. I imagine it’ll be similar for other chains. But if nothing else press all of the buttons and any fun combination you can think of and see what happens! On many card kiosks pressing the 4 corners will force-reboot the computer in it for example
Or someone was about to disable the tip screen and some clueless middle manager asked if the tip screen could increase the amount of the sale, then ordered it left in.

Pretty sure that’s not a touch screen, as evidenced by the buttons on the side. My assumption is photoshopped but also only a matter of time.
In mexico ATMs are like this, touch and with buttons that still work.

The buttons are for the visually impaired.
Kinda like this flat printed Braille?
That is some truly malicious compliance on what is clearly a sticker

I always loved having to make sure the aids for the visually impaired worked, ON THE DRIVE-THOUGH!
The amount of people not recognizing this as fake really, really bothers me.
Considering how bad begging people for tips has become, it’s understandable they wouldn’t.

I’m honestly usually surprised that gas stations are often far removed from the highway, and that people used to pump gas for you in many areas.
The ads at gas stations are so unnecessary and dumb, and the tips are so so strange.
Sometimes it’s a 2-key combo, 1 on each side. :) Just experiment.

I can see this happening on a system originally designed for a different retail environment, and nobody bothered to get rid of the tip screen.
