The folks with the money have - in my experience - been the ones who drop the biggest tips. But that tends to be as a means of impressing one another. So it depends a lot on the venue and the audience, etc.
I delivered pizzas in a working class community that also had a petty bourgeoisie element. The poor folk would dig through the couch to make sure you got $2-3 for bringing dinner to their door. Rich folk would hand over a $20 for an $18.50 order and tell you to keep the change. The class awareness was solid, but discrimination against customers based on race was common. Coworkers were annoyed when taking calls in Spanish/Spanglish and bias against black customers for "not tipping" was mentioned daily. 17yo me learned a lot at that awful job.
ah yeah i think that sort of behavior is probably more common in higher scale establishments. i can't speak to that bc that's not where my experience is.
YMMV.
