i never meant to imply that i personally treat janitors and garbagemen like objects or inhuman. you seem to have misunderstood. i'm saying that jobs like this tend to blend into the woodwork, people (in general) don't really notice them. an example: if you were in the office talking with a peer, and a third co-worker of yours came up and stood next to your group, you would probably say hello to him and include him in the conversation. whereas in the same scenario if the janitor came up next to your to empty the garbage can, most people probably wouldn't even say hello. i'm not saying people in custodial jobs deserve to be treated like shit or something, i'm just saying that by the nature of their job they are often ignored.
