I have a found a way to stop those "but I know the manager!" SCs cold in their tracks for the most part.
I simply respond: "Ok then, what's his/her full name?" (since a first name alone is too easy to grab off a name tag and if you really ARE their friend, you should darned well know the full name).
99% of the time they just slink away, there are a FEW of my managers close friends whom I will occasionally bend the rules for, but that's it.
