For $2.31 a gallon, is it wrong to expect a smarter pump?

You know how gas pumps now all have computerized advertisments on them, that play across the little screen? Here was the text that scrolled across the screen when I tanked up yesterday:

"B-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R We have just the thing on days like this Why not warm up inside with our hot chocolate or coffee? Free 16oz cup with B-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R We have just the thing..." etc.

Temperature at the pump: ~84F.

That's sort of like the pump asking me if I want a car wash, when anyone with eyes can tell it's raining.

Oh, wait - no it's not. Never mind.

But a pump in Houston making the hot chocolate offer when it's 84F outside wouldn't seem too odd to most here, because that could very well happen during the winter.
