I have to disagree, manners are not a linear scale from bad to good, certain behaviours will ingratiate you to certain groups while ostracising you from others. If you (as some people do) consciously decide to mimic the behaviours of richer groups then yes, this may help your ROI.
I'm in Britain, and the class system here is probably a lot more linear than most. One of the issues with just behaving better is that there's a huge amount of snobbishness (from everyone, at every level), and many of the defining behaviours of the upper classes require having a great deal of money to even participate.
