Do you want to get paid any more?

Did you/your company quote for the job? Did you get paid?
The way I look at it, if I turn up and get asked to clean the toilets, as long as I get paid the agreed rate, I consider it a good days work! If I'm unhappy with the job, it's because I quoted too low! If you didn't get treated how you expected, at least part of that could be considered your fault for failing to spec want you want/need. Live with it and learn from your mistakes. Have you never heard of pop star's riders? Ask for what you obviously feel you deserve, and if you don't get it, or the jobs stop coming then you are obviously overrating your own worth.
Sure politeness and good service are appreciated, but you are basically a wage slave. Expecting anything more than your wage or in the case of purchasing something, the basic service you are paying for, is wildly optimistic in many circumstances.
