So what, if I have 100 loaves of bread that I worked for, you're expected to get one? It's generousity whether I have a million extra or none. Your ass could starve. I'll get my own bread if you're so stingy you expect someone to kiss your ass for one of a million loaves of bread. They're gonna go bad before you can eat them all anyway! When I have plenty, and I have guests, I consider it standard and expected to let them enjoy what I have. When I have only a little, I share it with just people I like. So yeah, there are a lot of level's of generosity, and giving a little when you have a lot is almost an insult on that scale. It IS an insult if you pat yourself on the back for doing it.
Who said kiss ass? I'm just saying you don't say 'man, that's all you gave me' when someone hands you something for free.
