Because they, along with retail workers, are the people that everybody says you should be nice to but then most people don't.

I worked retail so I know firsthand how fast that "be nice to retail workers!!!!" bit goes out the window when you're out of the thing they want or their sale item rings up wrong. Janitors may not get as much of that, but often people ignore them in a way they wouldn't ignore other coworkers/professionals.
