I can second
@Void Krun's view. There was this time long long ago where I was nice to the staff, respected them and thought they were nice, volunteering their time.
Until they ignore you for not knowing answers; not being clear and not wanting to clarify; not taking 2 seconds to look at a report before denying it; staff telling me that other staff are wrong; etcetera.
There are so many things that go wrong, they do not get the benefit of the doubt anymore. They need to earn respect like any other human. It is NOT acceptable to simply ignore someone, because you don't want to deal with it.
