For a regular job, when I interview for a position, typically, I ask a lot of questions, as I assume most people do. The primary objective is to determine if it is somewhere you would be happy with.
For a contract job, that is less important, you are a hired gun to get the job done.
IMHO I would go with the attitude: I do not want your POS job if this is how you treat me. If you get an offer, then turn it down, and tell them they are too rude to work for.
