You are obviously not taking the correct security route in and out of the building.

When I visited Apple in Cupertino the friend I was visiting had a presentation to do at the stockholders meeting. He had me wait at the Apple Company Store next to the main entrance. I got bored. When you first walk in the entrance there is a check point area that they give visitors and contractors ID cards with chips allowing passage to whatever part of the offices they were granted access to. Then you went thru some glass doors that only open with the ID cards with the correct access. Once inside there was a huge 4 story atrium with a coffee snack shop besides the hallways to go into either of the two building separated by the atrium. I just walked on in (following someone the doors had opened for), got a soda at the shop and sat at one of the tables in the atrium. After about 15 minutes a guy came over and asked my name and what I was doing there.

Told him who I was and that I was waiting for my friend to get out of the stockholders meeting. He laughed and knew exactly who my friend was and said he never checks his guests in like he is supposed to. Said I surprised them when I just walked right in. Said they had been watching me since I first entered. Noticed I came in without a badge and were watching me to see what I did. Even offered to give me a tour. Told him my friend was planning to do that when he got out of the meeting. Told me to just not try to go anywhere else in the buildings without a badge or an escort. After another 20 minutes went out in front of the Apple Company Store, met my friend and off we went. Don't know why he thought I would be entertained for an hour at the company store.

Never did get a badge even though my friend did give me a tour the next day.
