Green Acres is so NOT the place for me.
How It Should Work
You simply wave your badge at the machine and the chain gate opens. You proceed through gate. If someone ahead of you does this, the door stays open long enough for ohhh, about 10 cars to get through. Note: There is security into the building requiring you to scan your card again at the office door, so it’s not as if a terrorist could slide through the gate and have willy-nilly access to the office.
How It Actually Works
First person waves their badge, gate opens, and they proceed. Second person stops at open gate, waits for gate to completely close again, waves badge, gate opens, and they proceed. Third person stops at gate, waits for gate to completely close again, waves badge, gate opens, and they proceed. Fourth person….well, you get it.
Is each person in line really that stupid? Is there a rulebook mandating this as proper procedure? Or is it just mindless mimicking?
I don’t know, but it drives Sunny D almost as mad as women who pick the stall right next to you in the bathroom when no others are occupied.
