I think the point that these are people making minimum wage and should be treated differently is kinda silly. They make money off of annoying society. I don't know anyone who finds telemarketing at random to be a service they enjoy getting. They are for the most part a drain on society and the only reason why it continues is because they work there.I want to say before I get called out for being cold, that I feel that everyone should be treated with a base amount of respect, but I feel the telemarketer-myself relationship is one based without a fraction of respect at all. In fact the advice in the article is not to politely decline their offer, because they will put you back on the list. Then it goes on to say to treat them with more respect because it is a low paying job. Respect is a two way street, and you can't piss on someone else respect, then cry foul saying how you need respect.
