Issues with the pneumatic tubes and dumb waiters

[FlifoONETWOTHREE]

Most of my issues with the dumb waiters has been mentioned by others so I'll skip on that. One issue I have with both is that the supply guys stick around the dumbwaiter bottom or at the tubes waiting to pick up items instead of doing their jobs transferring work from the typesetters and such until what seems like the last minute. The typesetters will stand by their finished work as if to pick it up to transport it but do nothing instead. A reporter glitch that is included with these changes is that when I pick up a reporter from the street to avoid protesters they stand for what seems like several in game minutes before handing over their work to the typesetters and such.
Just a note: I'm not feeling very well today thanks to the cold weather so if something didn't make any since it's just my brain not being 100% here today.

Thank you. I'm doing a bit better as I'm catching up on my sleep now.

Same issue here. I spent hours installing an elaborate tube system and it made my production chain much less efficient - sometimes I'll find staff using the opposite end of the tube to send it up to their own station, etc etc.

Would be nice if lawyers could interact with dumbwaiters, too ;)

The game seems to be improving a bit per people using the tubes towards the end of the work week. The problem that continues is that once a worker, such as a typesetter completes a story and has nothing else to do they will not do the simple task of picking up their work and take one step over to place such in the tube to be sent off to assembly. Even more maddening is the receiving clerk sitting next to them does nothing as well. The clerks seem more focused on picking up work that has been sent via the tube. This means no work gets distributed as no one sends any work via the tubes.

My assembly worker is doing wierd stuff.
Going from third floor (where their workstation is) to first by elevator - sends stuff to the second with pneumatic tube
travels to the second floor with elevator - picks up the same stuff he sent and sends it to the third floor with tubes
goes back to third, picks up the stuff again, and then goes to work on it...

I am seeing the tubes getting "stuck" with people queing to use them, but doing nothing
one reporter was in the sitting animation by the pneumatic tube, so that might be something related

I think the tubes are a real game changer but the dumb waiters are really dumb.
If someone My workers just stand there waiting on the waiter until their need drop to zero.
