I just got back from a store but on the way I got lost and instead ended up at their engineering facility. Not realizing I was in the wrong place I walked in the front door and started wandering the building. I thought it kind of odd that it looked nothing like a store but who knows? Well, the first guy I run into I explain what I'm looking for and he explains to me that I'm in the wrong building.
The funny thing is he then goes on to ask me how I got into the building?
I just walked in the front door! But that's impossible since this is a "secure" building. He escorts me to the lobby and goes to find someone to give me directions to the right place.
While standing in the lobby at least 6 employees enter through the front door after wiping their hand in front something outside (I later find out its a thumb scanner of some sort.)
Not one person realized that the door wasn't locked???
Now thinking about the building where I work.
Pre-9/11 everyone entering the building had to show an employee ID. Not perfect by a long shot. When I would forget my ID I would just wave my ATM card in the air and the guard would wave to me.
Post-9/11 the entrance was "updated" with a security fence with a magnetic lock that only opens with a key card. The funny thing is that only the first person through the gate has to swipe the card, everyone else get a free pass.
To add to the ridiculousness of this system, When the new system was installed the security guards stopped even looking at who was entering the building. They rarely look up from whatever they are reading.
This could almost qualify as a JOTD (joke of the day) if it weren't so true.
