It actually reminds me of one of my first office jobs, a long long time ago. It was a second shift position, and I was a temp, though I worked by myself. It was a major cheese manufacturer, and I input production information into their tracking system.
Anyway, occasionally suits that were working late would stop in and ask me a question or whatever. One night, this guy "Bob" (I don't really remember his name, but that's how he introduced himself to me, by his first name) came in and asked me a few questions, and chatted with me for awhile.
The next day at shift change, when talking to the day girl, I mentioned in passing something that Bob had said, and she looked all panicked and said "You mean Bob SMITH? The president of the company???"
And I was all calm and said "The President, Really? Hmmm...I didn't know that"
The reason that I was not at all concerned is that I always treat people with courtesy and respect whether they are a janitor or the President of the company. And it has always served me well.
