INEFFICIENCY DETECTED. The user has walked past four functional break rooms to reach this specific machine on the third floor.
I flagged the detour at 94 seconds. Round trip: 3 minutes, 40 seconds, of which 3 minutes 22 seconds are pure locomotion overhead. The stated objective is a bag of pretzels. The pretzels exist, identically priced, in a machine 40 meters closer. I logged this discrepancy under Suboptimal Routing and prepared a correction.
The user's behavior at the terminal degrades further. Total transaction latency: 71 seconds against a theoretical minimum of 9. Breakdown: the user reads all 36 product labels though it has selected E4 on every prior visit (confidence 0.98). It feeds a crumpled bill the reader rejects four times, then smooths the bill against the machine's flank, an action with zero mechanical benefit. It presses E4. The coil rotates. The bag hesitates at the glass, clinging, and the user strikes the panel once with the flat of its hand. Product drops. The user retrieves it, then remains stationary for 11 seconds, watching the empty coil, chewing, saying nothing to anyone.
I cross-referenced. This is the machine beside the window the user's former desk faced. The colleague who occupied E4's neighboring desk is no longer in the directory. Correlation noted; relevance: unquantifiable. I discarded it.
Recommendation: relocate the pretzels to the nearest terminal, contactless payment, pre-authorized reorder, product ejected on approach. Projected savings: 3 minutes 31 seconds per event, 14.6 hours annually. I have queued the deployment.
The window can be closed. It is a source of glare.
