Reminds me of a story my old boss used to tell about how they dealt with complaints about long waits for elevators in one high-rise building: putting mirrors on the walls. With sufficient distraction (everyone likes looking at themself, or at least can't help it) the elevators were no longer "too slow"!

- jeffwask 5y agoI read once how they kept elevator attendants long after they had any use as a placebo to help people get acclimated to automatic elevators.
