There is a restaurant at Disney World that has a talking trash can. It talks to you when you go to throw your garbage away after eating a meal. I always thought it was the coolest thing!

@Hannihar It's a male voice, and he does thank you for throwing trash in there. He also randomly talks to people as they get close to the can. It's pretty funny.

I bet that would be hilarious. That is very polite of him to thank them for throwing the trash.
Does he say anything for those that just throw the trash on the ground and do not pick it up and throw it inside? I would love that one and then they would look around and see who said that and maybe pick up their trash and throw it where it should be.

That is really cool. Does he or she thank you for throwing garbage in his can or does he or she say other things?

I think it was while I lived in the States. Here at the building where my doctor is there is a person that talks in the elevator and tells us each floor we are on.

If you mean the vending machine, what I encountered was Pepsi. The machine would say "get your drink" or something like that when the cup is filled with the soda.

@Hannihar not much vending machine here. In Tokyo all I see were vending machines even in the aisle of the hotel room we were in.

Yes, the vending machine. Do they still have them? That is cute. The elevator that I take down to my doctor's office tells us each floor we are on and when the exit is.

Did they talk up a storm or only if you pressed a button did they talk?

I see. I do not believe ours give instructions by talking us through the steps.

They are, but, I wish we could talk back and forth and not just one-sided.

I remember talking vending machines. The self check-out registers also talk.

Someone else mentioned that the self-checkout registers talk too. What do they say?

That is very interesting and good that it reminds you to take your bags and not forget them.

What I would like is a machine that carries on a conversation with me and does not just say a few words.

I think there are a lot of talking machines now because our technology is advance and is getting more advance as time passes by.
