lol It’s definitely an official cool guy move. Those guys deserve to be rewarded.
when i lived in an NYC apartment in my 20s, i had a weed guy that was a rasta who I would have to meet in my lobby and ride the elevator up 15 floors to my apt. there was a camera inside the elevator and he would face the back wall the entire ride up, even when other people would get on the elevator with us, just so his face would not be on cam
