Jokes aside I actually fucking hate it when machines say stuff like "thank you for shopping here" in that anodyne voice that's the aural equivalent of greige.

A machine cannot thank, thank you isn't a magic spell. It is supposed to signal gratitude. Unless uttered by a thinking being it is a bastardisation of language.
