        So on most sites, black i s reserved for management. Management goes where they want but also come up randomly from head office so no one questions that they haven’t seen you before.

        And act like you ain’t got time for anyone’s shit.

        I’ve worked events, and carrying a 6’ ladder with hi vis and a dome shell while grumbling is instant access wherever you need to go. Just make sure to not stop and look around cause your cover will be blown.

        I was an internet cable installer in Tulsa. Gated communities and apartments everywhere. Out of 1,000+ visits, only got hassled once.

    Former security guard on a variety of different kinds of posts. This is 100% accurate for anywhere that doesn’t require ID or a scanner card or some shit.

      Even if you need Id/scanner. If the check is at the elevator on the ground floor it may often as well not exist.

    Most restrictive areas you can walk in completely nude with A four story tall T-rex and no body would notice.

    Or more accurately no body would care because it’s not there job to care

    My point is, most of our restrictions in life are our own making and when we allow ourselves to succeed not even the angels can stop us, or some other bs self help saying

    Also works for inside locations if you are carrying a large bag of food or several pizza boxes. I’ve snuck into some concerts with the pizza box method.

    It’s all about projecting confidence that you are the person in control. Don’t even need the right clothes or a clipboard. Some of my favorite scenes from the Beverly Hills Cop movies is when Axel does this kind of thing. Catch people by surprise, flash an ID without showing it, look pissed. “Is that your Porsche outside???”

    The most charismatic man I know is my uncle, he worked right near the WTC on 9/11 and even though they closed his bridge home because it was 9/11 he sweet talked his way across.
