How about all of us simply be polite by acknowledging their existence and the job they are doing? It doesn't take a Herculean effort on the part of any one person if all of us contribute to the effort. I don't think it would take much more than that. Hundreds of simple thank you's and short conversations adding a little variety to otherwise monotonous job responsibilities would serve to drown out the negative effects of a few elitists making idiots of themselves.
I definitely noticed how many employees were smiling and cheerful as I walked in various sections of the complex. I thought this was an unusually high occurence relative to other places I typically frequent. I got the feeling that these were genuine pleasantries and not some mannerisms forced upon them by their superiors. I thought this was pretty dang neat. Security, elevator operators, etc. were all pleasant. I made sure to return the favor with a "Good Morning!" or "Hi, how ya doin?".
That's all that is needed, I feel.
