Take the stairs

Campus is full of buildings with 3-5 floors and one, maybe two elevators. Elevators do serve an essential purpose (do not misinterpret what I'm trying to say); however, patrons are frivolously accommodated the vast majority of the time.  In most instances, I try to avoid judgment; well aware that I lack a complete awareness of anyone other than myself. Given that disclaimer, I have just witnessed an apparent healthy and capable individual (of college age) opt to wait for the elevator, knowing the individual currently using the only elevator was having difficulty managing all the contents of his cart (they kept spilling off the cart).  This was on the 2nd floor of a 3-floor building and there is a set of stairs no more than 30 feet away.  Any benefit the elevator might afford in that situation was negated.
