Caution: Wet Floor

I stopped by the convenience store last night on my way home from work to get a drink. As I walked in I saw one of the cashiers mopping the floor. I walked over to the fountain drinks to get myself a Pepsi and all of the sudden heard "Caution: Wet floor. Watch your step." Then it repeated (I'm assuming) the same phrase in Spanish. I turned to look and noticed a mop bucket with a speaker and (I'm assuming) a motion sensor on the back. This struck me as funny. First of all It was a good 5 seconds after I had walked past the mop bucket before it started talking (yes, the mop bucket had a speaker on it and was warning me about the wet floor). Had I gone down, which I have been known to do in convenience stores, I would have been warned of said wet floor after the fact. My question for today is - If I had fallen, and sued - would the talking mop bucket be called in to testify at the trial? That's what I want to know.....

Remember when you nearly took out a Hostess Twinkie stand b/c of a wet floor? I want the security footage on that one... I bet they still watch it.
