An elevator attendant on duty in China. The elevator must be a big one, like a cargo elevator. You see a long stick on the front side of the right wall next to button panel. It is used by the attendant to poke at the buttons without standing up from the chair.

Looks like a (large) handbag. She must live inside the elevator.:)

Amazingly, there are five FR threads listed under the keyword "attendant," and over 20 for "elevator."

In the West, IIRC, the elevator operator had a stool to sit on, high enough so that he didn't have to jump up and down. I suspect getting up and down all day would really work your quads to death.

Is that the attendant's daughter in the foreground?
BTW, I had the opportunity years ago to earn some part-time money operating a real old fashioned elevator -- the kind where the buttons only show which floor is calling and the operator works a wheel to run the car from floor to floor.
Only did it for a day or two but could tell it would be lousy job to do for very long.

The thing at the bottom of the picture is a Chinese female head.

Re #6
Those I see are always working standing up. They may take a break outside from time to time.
The attendant here basically brought his entire office into the elevator. I don't think she is assigned an office where she put her stuff down when she checks in.

It is the top of the head of a female.

I would not call the operator “lazy”; I would call the operator “smart”. This person has managed to snag a job doing something anyone getting on the elevator could do. He/she has a chair/teapot/radio/stick and all the other comforts that a well-appointed employee should have … and is getting paid for it! Lazy, I think not, smart, yes.

This is an automatic elevator (based on the buttons). But the ChiComs ensure full employment so some one is hired to "operate" the elevator on behalf of the people. Or the people are too ignorant on how to press a floor's button.
