Alright, call me an idiot. What on Earth am I looking at?

It is an electric meter. It measures the amount of electricity that is used by the builing's occupants, in this case, Gourmet Garden restaurant. One wonders why there is a readout, if you are not supposed to read it.

At least, that was the ironic thought that led to me snapping the photo. I am pretty sure that there is a gizmo insidethat sends the reading to the electric company, so there is no need for a meter reader to come by and read the meter.
