I voted security guard. Here's my anecdote:

One morning, I am on my way in to work and just as I reach the door I realize I left my badge (which opens the door) in my car. The car is a four-minute walk away. As I am cursing to myself, our a.m. security guard walks around the corner.

This guard...

  1. ... has seen me every weekday for roughly two years.
  2. ... has been working at my building about half as long as I have been working there.

I ask her to let me in. She refuses.

This happened a little under a year ago. I have not spoken a word of greeting or otherwise to her since. My consolation is that if you perform your job like a robot, it won't be long until a robot replaces you.
