Well, maybe in places you have worked, people don't threaten you with following you to your car after work, you don't have to deal with a lot of felons or *edit*, and guards are not shot and killed.

All of those things have happened in Social Security offices. Felons and *edit* are in the office every day, there are occasional threats from violent sociopathic type claimants that are so serious that the Federal Police make a visit and ban some people from going into a Social Security office (it is a federal offense to threaten a federal employee), and at least once this decade a guard was shot and killed by a disgruntled claimant.

Guards are not babysitters, they are not receptionists, they are not there to make your life easier. Their job is to make sure the staff and the public who visit the office are safe.
