I guess nobody is really at fault in the long run. From an outside looking in perspective I understand why he did what he did and it wasn't love of money.

I just fundamentally disagree here, if he chooses to equate money with respect or love doesn't matter. If the only way he's accepting for you to fill the cup up is with $100 bills then what the hell else is it about but those $100 bills? How he personally values them doesn't fundamentally change them from being $100 bills into respect units or units of love no matter how much he tells himself that. They're still the same $100 bills they were before they were his.
