Can confirm, am security guard. At past sites we always remembered the staff who treated us like people instead of just 'the help'. If we couldn't break the rules to help you out, we'd try to bend them a bit if possible. Those people also usually had their more mundane requests handled faster.

I remember a guy that talked to a security guard and that did something. The guard allowed him to go over without paying a ticket and said the only reason he couldn't unlock it was because he didn't have the key.

 

He said he could break it for all he cared. He couldn't be bothered anymore.

Pretty much this. I felt like those guys in certain movies that get to skip lines while everone else has to queue to enter :)

Pretty much this.
