Stupidest Elevator Evah

The Omni Charlotte has four elevators. They are the stupidest elevators in existence. You have to wait minutes before any elevator arrives.

Of course, by stupid, I mean that the algorithms used to govern its behavior is idiotic. For example, several guys jumped on an elevator marked to go down. They (smartly) figured that eventually it would go up. And so it must have, because when the elevator arrived to go up, they weren't in it, meaning I got the same elevator they did.

It's perhaps no surprise many elevators no longer tell you what floor it is on when you are waiting for it so this massive amount of stupidity isn't put on prominent display at every moment.
