So to objectify someone is to think of him in a way that doesn't include respect for his goals, interests, or personhood?
According to this definition, I objectify the bus driver, the cashier at the local Walmart, and just about everybody I interact with on an average day.
See this comment - there are some contexts where treating people as objects is at least socially expected, and arguably fine, and economic transactions are one of them.
