Get used to not being addressed with that kind of defference. Get used to being taken advantadge of. The unfortunate reality is not very many shops (relative to the number out there) put best practice into effect because it is not cost effective to change and the employees or administration or some combination thereof are unwilling to change. Also, be prepared to get used to administration to not placing a high value on your skills, hence eight dollars per hour. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of excellent places out there. If you find the experience and knowledge gained is not worth it DO NOT waste your time. Take the advice of the commenters and look for a better internship.
