Bad user interface design could be everywhere, even on a gas pump. What should you press to select gas with 87 of Octane? A lot of customers pressed the big “87” yellow sign. Did they get their choice? No. We can easily see (Traces: around the 87, the yellow sign is cleaner and a small region is even erased) that several customers thought the yellow sign was a button, but it wasn’t.
Have you already encountered this type of pump? Have you pressed the 87?

Here's the dial-in information for the conference call, which starts at 10:45 Pacific Time. [update: it's over, but here are the quotes I found interesting.]

Poles tend to get in the way of this thing a lot! Here's a side view of the Huddle House Exxon Loan Office, which reveals there's also a clinic of some sort. "Ah, yeah, I'm having my outpatient surgery at the corner Exxon!" This photo was taken on a return trip through the area, but I once again didn't have time to stop for a closer look-see. Had I not ventured down the side road to check out the small Walmart Supercenter, I would of never known about the clinic. Although I sincerely apologize (not really, LoL!) for not seeing the clinic before, I hope to never have to be a patient there!

This is a re-creation of an old gas station now abandoned along State Highway 58
in Carnegie, OK for which I don't know what its original brand was. Re-created the station into a '70s Exxon outlet.
Changed the pumps from the older design from the 1960s rendition as an Enco station to pumps of more modern appearance, and added a fourth to accommodate Exxon Unleaded to meet the fuel requirements of 1975 and later automobiles that had catalytic converters requiring the unleaded gas, as well as keep two pumps for Exxon Regular and one for Exxon Extra. Did retain the "Put A Tiger In Your Tank" pump topper promo for the Extra pump and added a window display for Exxon Uniflo motor oil. Atlas Tires may be next.
Here is what the station looks like in its present state: farm4.static.flickr.com/3487/4082521616_c4fb0ae568_b.jpg

I took this photo about 1988, while on a multi-day dive trip to the southern California channel islands. At the time what I noticed was the nasty smoke spewed by the huge tanker. I did not notice the name of the ship, until today, over twenty years later. The exxon valdez. You may recall the valdez spilled over 10 million gallons of crude oil into Prince William Sound in the Gulf of Alaska on March 24, 1989, and was the largest oil spill in U.S. history. I think I'll take a closer look at those hundreds of boxes of slides in my closet.
