When I was in college, I worked in food service at a country club. I noticed that the long-standing local aristocrats who controlled all the club boards and had a couple of generations of wealth behind them invariably treated all the employees with courtesy. It was the pushy nouveaus who displayed impatience and a sense of entitlement. You can tell a lot about people by observing how they treat those who serve them.
