Concierge - a problem or is it just me being paranoid?

[Bodkin]

My apartment in London has a 24 hour concierge desk. However the building is HUGE and there are a few entrances so in this case I have no problems. Concierge desk are in 85 percent of buildings in London. At least the nicer ones.
However as an escort, if I was going to acquire a new apartment I wouldn't get one with a concierge unless there were ways around making clients walk past.

Surely it's perfectly normal to walk right past the guy once you know where you are going ... that'd be the norm in such places, right? God, I feel like such an Irish pleb, not even used to such basics of civilisation ... next up: how to use a bidet
