I think the worst role is that of galley volunteer.  It seems as soon as you step behind a counter you become a second class citizen.

The govt has a major drive for recruiting volunteers right now, following on from the huge success of the gmes makers.  This morning I saw that Silverstone have followed suit with 'racemakers' doing stuff like directing traffic for parking etc. 

This morning Her Inddors got five applications from people who want to volunteer as athletics officials.  That never normally happens, but this weekend saw the major pr around the Anniversary Games.
the same, but different...

Only if you let them treat you that way, like customers, if you're being paid the customer is always right, if you're not, then the customer is always wrong, just give them a little stfu&diy!

The customer is very often wrong, not to mention dishonest, rude and even ugly and unpleasant smelling, but its normally bad policy to let them know.
