I work in a secure area that requires every person entering to have and show id to security, whether you're recognized or not. They have these scanners that tell them if you're allowed or not. sometimes the scanner doesn't work, so they'll have printed sheets of paper that I'm sure is the equivalent, just takes longer.
One day I came in, gave my ID, heard a "beep", got it back and continued on. About 10 seconds later my brain caught up to the very obvious vocal "beep" that came from the security guy. I have no idea if they just decided to say fuck it that day and let all the fun people in, or if just the speaker wasn't working and they were just having some fun.
If I worked for a self-checkout manufacturing company I'd record myself saying "beep" as the beep. And "Ruh-roh" if it didn't scan.
