I recently went back to visit as an alum, and really appreciated the front desk/security workers. They are often unappreciated and treated poorly. At my visit, even though it was very busy and someone was having a meltdown about losing their phone at a concert they attended last night, the security dealt with everyone quickly and calmly and got me an alum ID so I could enter. They have, in my experience, always been hard-working and good multi-taskers.

Regarding the gift shop t-shirts, I would recommend sourcing from union-made products, rather than products from the cheapest bidder with questionable labor conditions.
