Slitheen! Of course! I don't know where I got the "v" from...
Wait, your automated voices wish you a wonderful day? That's pretty damn creepy.
They do indeed. It's supposed to make us feel like we have personal contact with the person talking. And yes, it's incredibly creepy.
I used to ride on a bus line where they had a driver who would shut off the automated system and sing the announcements.
Cool! I was once stuck on a train for half an hour (some electrical problem), and the driver start telling us random jokes over the intercom just to keep us from getting bored and rioting...
