ANd when you use the escalator and then enter your room the front desk will call to ask if you need assistance. I am not making this up.

By using this feature, it is not just about making it easier for the guest, but I suspect more people who would have forgetten to come to the shop will look at them and be inclined to buy them. I guess the next step could be text message purchase which then unlocks the photo for your own use at home.
