[department of crappy engineering] lifting anti-shoplifting
How will you feel if you deliberately bring unpaid merchandise past the anti-shoplifting pedestals?**This is not a test on the system**Today after work I went to Jurong West Community Library (yah call me insane. Wait till I say I borrowed maths and engineering books) This was my first time visiting since the library has shifted out from Jurong Point to Frontier Community Club.So after I have picked the books (yes, maths and engineering books) from the level 3 adult section, I couldn’t find the borrowing stations. That’s weird, since the door at level 3 leads out to the community club, with those intimidating anti-shoplifting pedestal guarding the door. Not wanting to sound the alarm, I went round and round level 3 hunting for the borrowing stations, until I looked at the directory and saw that “borrowing” is at level 1. Taking every step with caution, I went past the pedestal. No buzz.They have like around 5 sets of those pedestals, and I guess only 1 set at the ground floor was on operation. Reminds me of dummy CCTV.
