We are due respect no matter what walk of life we take, as long as we behave honorably and responsibly for everything we say and do. Some people have never learn this. Some people never learned kindness and their behavior and words show it. Only those persons can change if they want to.
I wonder why anybody would invite these persons into their businesses in the first place. For customers to endure this abuse on opening night is business suicide.
