Are you sure your not more of a classist than racist? If the person were your race would still feel obligated to be nice because they were performing a service for you? Or maybe your just a dick and being nice to people in general is a chore. I know that's my problem.

Maybe I am a dick. I don't respect people unless they've earned my respect. I try not to be rude. It may seem like that if I'm in a hurry.
I am rude if someone interrupts me with bullshit.

That's... just wrong. For one thing, everyone deserves a baseline level of respect as per our shared human dignity. Also living in a world where nobody is worth the time of day unless they've gone out of the way to prove themselves respectable just sounds miserable.
You should respect everyone unless they've done something to lose your respect.

People deserve politeness, not respect.
