A method of operating a dispensing system includes the step of alternating between active and lockout modes within a first timing sequence, wherein during the active mode at least one sensor is active to detect sensory input, and whereupon detection of the sensory input results in product being released from a first container, and wherein during a lockout mode product is not released from the first container. The method further includes the step of alternating between active and lockout modes within a second timing sequence, wherein during the active period at least one sensor is active to detect sensory input, and whereupon detection of the sensory input results in fluid being released from a second container, and wherein during a lockout mode fluid is not released from the second container. The expiration of the first timing sequence, and the initiation of the second timing sequence, occurs from at least one of the lapsing of a time interval, sensory input, and manual input from a user.

1. A method of operating a dispensing system, comprising the steps of: alternating between active and lockout modes within a first timing sequence, wherein during the active mode at least one sensor is active to detect sensory input, and whereupon detection of the sensory input results in product being released from a first container, and wherein during a lockout mode product is not released from the first container; andalternating between active and lockout modes within a second timing sequence, wherein during the active period at least one sensor is active to detect sensory input, and whereupon detection of the sensory input results in product being released from a second container, and wherein during a lockout mode product is not released from the second container,wherein the expiration of the first timing sequence, and the initiation of the second timing sequence, occurs from at least one of the lapsing of a time interval, sensory input, and manual input from a user. 2. The method of operating a dispensing system according to claim 1, including the step of initiating a lockout mode upon the detection of sensory input during the active mode. 3. The method of operating a dispensing system according to claim 2, wherein the lockout mode has a duration of between about 1 minute to about 180 minutes, more preferably between about 10 minutes to about 60 minutes, and most preferably between about 15 minutes to about 40 minutes. 4. The method of operating a dispensing system according to claim 2, wherein the lockout mode has a duration dependent on at least one of a pre-programmed specified time interval, upon a user selected time interval, and upon sensory input from one or more of the at least one sensor and an additional sensor. 5. The method of operating a dispensing system according to claim 1, wherein two or more sensors are provided. 6. The method of operating a dispensing system according to claim 5, wherein the two or more sensors include one or more of a light sensing element, such as a photodetector, photodiode light detector, photoresistor, photodiode, or phototransistor; a passive infrared sensor; a motion sensor; an acoustic sensor; a humidity sensor; a temperature sensor; a pressure sensor; a vibration sensor; an accelerometer; and a chemical sensor. 7. The method of operating a dispensing system according to claim 1, wherein during the lockout mode of the first and second timing sequences, input from the at least one sensor does not activate the dispensing system. 8. The method of operating a dispensing system according to claim 1, wherein during the lockout modes of the first and second timing sequences, the at least one sensor is active to detect sensory input and performs one or more of the steps of not initiating the dispensing of product from the first and second containers and initiating a lighting sequence comprising one or more pulses of one or more lights. 9. The method of operating a dispensing system according to claim 1, wherein the alternating first and second timing sequences include a duration of between 1 hour and 1 month, or more preferably between 12 hours and 2 weeks, or most preferably 24 hours. 10. A method of operating a dispensing system, comprising the steps of: activating at least one sensor during a first time period to detect sensory input, whereupon detection of the sensory input results in the release of product from a first container; andactivating a button, wherein actuation of the button for a duration of
