If you see a pump that says 33, I’d just think, “OK, it’s 33”. The vendor priced it.

If the pump says "$0.329" while the brightly-lit sign looming over the roadway says "$3.299" would you still think that?

Honestly,
I’m so used to buying gas at the same station without even looking at the sign.....I’ve been doing this for sheesh, forever.

So no, I don’t notice the sign or even the price on the pump. Its “I always stop here for gas”....that’s it.

Just another way to look at it...what if someone change the neon (which we all know to be plastic sheeting) sign. A rush happens and the store owner says, no the price is programmed at the pump. Mistakes happen...and sometimes they are costly. I question if there was any ‘check’ of the system built into the program.
