The company wants to engage more people with advertising

Yeah. If there's one thing I need in my life it's more advertising.

I thought this would be anti-shoplifting screens which would be a clever way of using technology to defeat the low-morals crowd.

Just because you can, does not mean that you should.

This is the same thing I get when I fill my tank with gas. Not only do I have to pay over $4.00 a gallon of gas, I have to listen to a talking gas pump telling me to come inside and buy a half gallon Big Gulp for 79 cents.

My first take on the title ...

Screens let air in and out. Why in this ‘green world’ would we want something more energy wasteful ?

It’s like to open chest freezer cabinets in the supermarket.

Screens are best left on submarines.

My new pet hate are the talking (i.e. video) gas pumps where you subjected to a stream of loud noxious commercials while you’re pumping gas. As far as I can see you can’t turn it off and you can’t even turn the volume down !

These are video screens. Think flat screen television on it’s side.

Just lodge the door open with an item. Allows the next person to see what’s actually in there.

Along those lines, I have TiVo service, WHICH I pay for. Now I have to watch a 30 sec ad to play a show I’ve already paid to see.
