" Guess they figured they hadn't come up with enough ways to piss people off."

Really.  I recall the first time I encountered a talking gas pump, with screen running ads for the station while you're stuck having to listen to it.  I stopped the fill instantly and told the attendant I'd never come back.  Worse than those talking Coke machines.
