I get what you mean
about respect, when I worked as a checkout and customer service lady, the tills went down one day so I reached for a calculator. the customer said plainly and clearly to me
"I guess that's why you're still working here then"
I was in college at the time and about to go to uni and I very nearly informed him of the fact that once I've finished my academia I would end up in a better, higher paid job that this little scrawny idiot wouldn't even dream of. so I can't do mental arithmatic for your entire shop, its quicker with a calculator.

I wish they'd get a life!

Edit - I actually am starting that better job I mentioned next week!
