What Do They Do? Operate Elevators

If you've ever stayed at a luxury hotel, you might have experienced the service of an elevator operator. However, this once-common practice is becoming increasingly rare. Nowadays, most establishments opt for self-service elevators, allowing guests to press the buttons themselves. This shift raises the question: why pay someone to operate an elevator when guests can easily do it themselves?
