Yep. Works much better than the checkout monkeys.

When Telecom first did their new system that allowed you
to pay your bill with an automated system at their end, it
got so overloaded initially that when I tried to use it it fell
back to the usual call center monkey. She was pretty pissed
when I said I wanted to use the new automated system.

I actually automated my end so my machine talked to theirs.
