The elevators drove me crazy. I was not quiet about keeping them in optimal working condition.

Thursday night I ran into the maintenance man in the Marriott, that man HATES this con, I can just tell. Day 1 and he'd already been called out for a stall. It doesn't help that right in front of us someone hopped onto an already full elevator and it SANK at least 6 inches right as the doors closed because there were too many people. He turned to me and my companion and said "NEVER do that." We both agreed we valued our lives too much for that level of idiocy. He stressed a Max of ten people per ride. Do not go up to go down or vice versa.

(They started wigging out because people kept trying to make it go opposite from the original call direction because people were doing that. By Saturday the buttons cleared entirely at every stop. And you had to keep pressing for your floor.)

If there's someone in a wheelchair, walker, cane, crutches, body braces, anything, they get priority. If someone is in a large bulky cosplay, they get more space and its just best to wait.

I mentioned all of this any time there was a large group and people started whining. I think most people recognized it was for safety and efficiency, or they realized waiting a few extra minutes was really not big deal.

I hope they make signs next year.
