I say guaranteed, because let's face it, we are a busy species. Everywhere we go, there are distractions. At a gas pump however, we're kinda forced to just sit there. We watch the numbers click by, stare mindlessly at our phones, but generally speaking, there's not much to do.
And so I present to you.... A sign that ALWAYS, without fail, gets someone's attention. A warning/danger sign!

Go onto ebay, or into office depot/max, and buy a stack of shipping labels. On ebay, enough labels to get you about 800 signs (4 per page) will run you about $11.99 with free shipping.

Next, print theses signs, 4 per page onto the labels, and attach them to the post or pump http://imgur.com/a/f18Ct at a gas station.
And that's it, you're done.
I'll admit, some would consider this to be vandalizing a property, but in my opinion, it's just a sticker that can be peeled off, and it's potentially going to save 100s of thousands of lives eventually. That's enough to get me motivated and just not care. So to take this plan into action, go get $5 worth of gas at 5 or 6 gas pumps instead of just filling up at one pump. Place a sticker on each pump or the pole near the pump that you use. Bingo. That's it!!!
GET THIS GOING!!!!

Not crazy about stickers. Over the years I have noticed them here, there, and everywhere but never pay any mind to them. In everyday transit, I am pretty much focused on either where I need to be, what I need to do, and coming home. I think the flyer delivery to mailboxes in the immediate area where we live is a great idea. Of course, agreement would need to be reached that all flyers say the same thing. A small committee, perhaps, chosen by app administrators, to draft? There's no way to police it after the fact, so the honor system comes into play. Also, has anybody ever utilized the below-listed website to deliver a mass phone message? I have not. Just wondering if that could be an option. https://www.dialmycalls.com/

Im just guessing here, but I thought mailboxes were a nono. You would look like you're stealing mail, and that's a felony. I may be wrong, but that's just my thought.

The mailbox is a no-no. However there is a advertising box underneath normally. You are free to put whatever you want in those. But no guarantee anyone will read it as its all basically junk mail.

Our neighborhood eateries use a rubber band to hang fliers and coupons on our doorknobs.

Yep doorhanging. Use to do that for a restaurant i worked for. You might need a permit to do this depending on the city though. Be careful.
