Remember, eventhough a js seater may not be qualified to fly the ac, you could still be of assistance if there is an emergency. You may not be a js, but I don't blame him for checking. Good crm too to have an fa check so he can complete his preflight duties as well.
if he was rude to you though, that isn't cool. I know it sucks commuting and a welcome aboard from the crew always makes it nice. Not trying to justify everything, I am just trying to tell you I have seen too many known js people not chrcking in, so I don't blame him for checking. My two cents to it from both views of the industry as I have been on both sides of the table...
