A "RUTH's CHRIS" in any part of The Villages would fail because "Villagers" would not actually support quality. They like free entertainment, free golf, 2 for 1 drinks, (Florida is low cost compared to Northeast), etc.

Waiters tell me tips are pretty low in THE VILLAGES.

People, you get what you pay for. Rule 1.
You are indeed right. You get what you pay for and when you overspend with a limited income and amount in the bank, than you will be at the mercy of others to take care of you. For many of us that is one of our worst nightmares. Many people who are quite comfortable financially are still careful with their money. I find that to be a virtue.

As for bucks at the final curtain. It is better to have a few too many than a few too few.
