Everyone who has ever worked in a customer-facing job has heard the "well, my watch says..." line at two minutes past closing more times than they care to remember.

Be honest - there's no reason for the security guard to make his own life more difficult by stopping you from walking past if they'd still been open.

It would have been far more amusing if they'd allowed him into the shop but then refused to serve him when he reached the till on account of the shop being closed.
No doubt he would then have tried to leave with the milk anyway and would then get bundled off by the police to spend christmas in a cell.
