[eaxdonkw] Unexpected acts of kindness

Under what conditions is an act of kindness met with gratitude?  Under what conditions is it not?  We assume that the act was beneficial to the receiver.

Hypothesize social class differences, but many other things are likely going on.

Does acting kind only to maximize gratitude received result in a socially optimal allocation of kindness?  Probably not.
