I don't think this in necessarily disrespect but more of an approach of making customers think they have a personal relationship with the company.<br /><br />I however also agree that if you have earned the title of a Dr. then you are entitled to be referred to as such. In reference to how students refer to you, it could be disrespect, or ignorance with it probably ignorance. Many students lack initiative to refer to a syllabus or a faculty search to see if a professor has a Ph.D. Just like in the military, your referred to by your rank and its always better to mess up by referring to someone as a higher rank than a lower rank.
