The Great Elevator Responsibility
In most places, you press the elevator buttons yourself. There are in some fancy places – elevator operators, and they take on this responsibility. In some societies, there is a designated person for that job, but without pay. How is that? Doing something for the greater good of humanity.
That’s right, in Japan – the person closest to the door operates the elevator, assisting others by pressing the floor/button they need. This especially holds if that person is behind someone. There is, however, one downside – this person is often the last to get out. Talk about a lack of on-the-job perks.
