Oh, what a great skill - acting like you know what you're doing, you belong (wherever), and/or you're in charge. My dad has snuck into many a health club that way - he just ambles on in like he owns the place. I seriously think you could rob a company blind by just walking in with a handtruck, a clipboard, and something resembling a uniform.

Have you ever read Catch Me If You Can: The True Story of a Real Fake, by Frank W. Abagnale? He would only con companies. Kind of an inspiration, that one.
