halacha - Electronic sliding doors on shabbat


What can a person who is staying at a hotel which has only electronic sliding doors that open when one walks near them do to avoid any issue on shabbat?





  • Wait for someone else to enter and "piggyback"?




  • Tell the staff of the issue and have them open whenever they see the shabbat-observant customer without having to ask?




Are any of these viable/permissible solutions? Any other advice?
