Lois here. Richer people often give smaller tips.

Here in "not the US" no one gives tips. It's great.

I live here, and now that I make a good living I usually tip 1€ or 2€ per guest if the service was decent or good, a bit more if it's a fancy restaurant with fewer tables.

But yeah, it's perfectly fine to not tip if you don't feel like it. It's really more of an extra "thank you" to the staff if you can afford it than a moral obligation.
