On: Don't ignore the janitor

[ethbr0]

There was a quip about an actor selecting an agent on the basis of how the agent treated food service employees, for the same reason.

It doesn't take much effort to be respectful and decent, regardless of whether someone has something you want.

When I was single and dating, I found a high correlation between how a dating partner treated service workers (including waiters) and how nice/desirable a partner they were. Garbage people tend to treat service workers as their personal servants, to bully and abuse.
