I think it depends on what you would call " Wealthy"
one million to one person is wealthy, a million to another would barely get them out of debt and room for a Twix bar.

As for service..................I believe we as the comsumer plays a big role.
If more people walked away, instead of being "awe inspired" by a ball headed man giving out sausage, or wearing the same watch that a golfer wears...........we would rise the bar.

Take drive through for instance.............the whole premiss of the idea is quick service, yet we will gladly pull to the side and wait. And the places now have assigned parking, giving into the idea that they can't cook my damn fries quick enough.
Who the hell runs our of fries at a hamburger and fries joint.

We must demand better service.
Way to go Chris, you have my blood boiling..........

Of course I grew up in a service related business and run several distributor locations where service is all the seperates us from the competition.

Most people think "if we suck less" we will be better.

Custome service has pretty much become a thing of the past. I am retired from Delta Air Lines after 37 years. I saw them go from the very best in customer service to mediocre injust a few years. Very sad to watch ...

many years ago i wanted to take up bow hunting. I walked into a sporting goods store w/ cash in my pocket to buy a complete set up .They had 3 guys behind the counter gabbing w/ each other and after me looking around for 10 min. or so one of them finally ncame over and asked if he could help me. I explained that i had never bow hunted and wanted to buy everything i needed to get in the woods. (salesmans dream right). he proceded to start asking me a few questions and another guy walked in the door ,guy just walks away from me and starts talking to the other guy . pissed me off so i walked to the front of the store and started out the door .One of the other guys behind the counter looks up and says, Didn't find what you were looking for?
I pulled $600 in cash out my pocket showed it to him and told him i found what i was looking for But since the salesman decided his friend was more important than making a sale was , i would go somewhere else to spend my money.
This was 36 years ago and even though the store has changed ownership at least 3 times ,To this day i have never set foot in that store.
If you want my buisiness, act like you do!

There is a store on Hwy 27 in Carlyss with great breakfass smiches but the hired help always has to put their cell phones down to take your $$$.
Everyone is in sales, some do it better than others.
