My SIL thought I was snobby because I didn't want to get up at 5 AM to go shopping after Thanksgiving. I really just wanted to sleep and play with my nephews, but you know, that kind of thing is a class marker.

Huh? Who knew?

It could be a housekeeper, a waiter, or the guy who mows your lawn. I've seen some people show some really bad behavior towards someone who is working hard for them.

That is rude, not elitist.

If anything, it is insecure - has nothing to do with money, but thinking poor.
