The point is, the guy pumping your gas deserves your politeness, at least until he/she does something to warrant otherwise. In short, don't be a douche.
Bro, it's a lousy job and you have my sympathy. My suggestion would be to ignore them. And if someone won't date you based on profession that tells you all you need to know about them. And it's not good
It's incredibly shitty that drivers would take their frustrations out on the gas station attendant. How fucking stupid and ignorant can someone be?
And yeah, it really sucks for any woman to look down her nose at a guy just b/c he's a "pump jockey". Whatever. Sounds to me like the bro has a full-time job and is keeping his shit together.
Ugh, sympathies, man... try to remember your job isn't you (hard as that is in US culture), and to focus on the life you create when you *are* free to lead it.

Just hang out in the Couv and watch how many of those Bio Diesel tanks from Portland wind up getting unleaded.
