Someone mentioned it earlier, respect is earned, it's not an entitlement. And it's a two way street.

Instead of whining about the brake job you could have asked the tech if he could use a hand and then watched and listened to him in the process. You might have learned something, could have maybe showed them you actually have something valuable to contribute, and maybe even started making an ally on the shop floor. How else do you expect to learn all the stuff you don't even know you don't know?

Oh yeah, if you were a little smarter you would have showed up for lunch with a couple of your expertly made pizzas to help grease the skids and make friends!
I would make pizza for them, but it would have to be onsight. I would literally bring a pizza oven over and stretch out dough there. It would be the best pizza they've eaten in their life.
