Bad Moon Arising?

A correspondent writes in:

SFL, I was in Greenberg Traurig for a deposition this morning. When I went to the front desk to get my ticket validated, I was told that GT no longer does this. When I asked the attorney, I was told they stopped doing this as a cost-cutting measure. Yet it still takes 4 employees to buzz you into a conference room!

You know the old nursery rhyme , "for the want of a validated ticket, the Lexus was lost. For the want of a Lexus, the client markups were lost......"
