This is a corps of uniformed employees - they’re not even in the escalator division - who sit in glass booths at the bottom of all major escalator banks and keep an eye out for trouble. A stern eye. They’re almost all women, they’re called dezhurnayas, and they’re renowned for their heart-stopping scowls. A sign on each booth says, “Information is not provided.” Do not talk to any of them.”
