I worked in a hospital for 6 years. During Emergency training security and maintanance had different areas to watch. If a person wanted to pass without a badge, we were suppose to first try to turn them away if necessary, restrain/ stop them. They were VERY specific that it didn't matter who it was or whether or not we knew them. NO BADGE, no entry. We're talking about a government facility here.

I'm sure she was full aware of the rules.......just like some of the doctors we had to deal with during training......but they got the attitude that they are above the rules. Common guidelines isn't racism.

Have a good one!:thumbsup:
