I would say if you are giving a gift to someone who wants / needs it, you are entitled to a little courtesy.

Nah, you're not.

Entitlement only leads to disapointment. It's bad all around, from my perspective.

You can't be entitled to something AND appreciate it at the same time. So, a lack of entitlement of being treated well leads to appreciating more when you are treated well.

If nothing else, its a fun sociology/psychology conversation.
