Good Design: Cup Shelf Next to Office Entry Keypad
Could use this next to card reader pads too
By Rain Noe - December 5, 2019
(This new "Quick Hits" series of posts will be short 'n sweet examples of good design. Debates welcome.)
Back when I worked corporate, all departments were silo'd off with tap- -to-enter badge reader pads. Other companies use keypads, like this Swedish office--where someone has thoughtfully anticipated that you may have a coffee cup in one hand and something occupying the other. Hence:

At my company, the badge readers were all mounted at a particular height. The "hack" everyone came up with was: You clipped your badge on your clothing at the right height, and performed a weird motion at the badge reader. Depending on your height, this resembled everything from a sideways hip-hump to a chest bump or shoulder-check. If you combined them all you could come up with an office dance routine.

Good Design: Cup Shelf Next to Office Entry Keypad
Ha ha. Mine was always a little too high so I wore my bade on my belt and always did a 'hop & bump" to open the door.
