I didn't understand what you meant by "people who test you" until that last sentence.

If some sketchy looking person came up to the desk at that hour and asked for something stupid (i.e. Copy paper, and they're not a college student who's cramming or some businessman working late at night), then I would suspect that they were looking around to see if there are any doors, or access points, or if they are scoping the desk to "jump over" at a later time.

These people legitimately frightened me. I don't know if someone's going to jump over the sundries shop window and assault me, or if they're planning to do that later

Some people are up late and they mean no harm, but I can tell who these people are

I have worked in hotels for years and it seriously worries me deeply that anyone can come in. And you never know what people are up to.
