1. people can pay what they want to pay for service. whether its a car wash or food tip i wont pay more than i think is fair rate. i can blow a ton of money on a car or birthday present for my sister, but for somebody washing my car, when it takes 15 min to do and im already paying $20 for it, i have no prob giving a $2 tip
2. its hard to tell how much people make/spend/have saved. you have people making well over six figures, but after wife/kids/bills/loans, the disposable income that remains can be small, even if they appear to have nice car, house etc. They may have less income left over than a recent graduate with roomates, for instance.
3. in my experience, people that talk about rich people being cheap usually dont have a lot of money or understand how hard it is to make/keep money, they think it comes easy and if you have a lot of it, you should spread the wealth. I have worked my ass off for some of my money and am very careful before i hand it out
