It is their money, after all. It seems a little odd for the beggar to sniff at a $1 gift because it's not $5. Do they charge too much for legal services? Well, yeah. Is it a little silly how lavishly they treat their summer associates when those associates are going to accept their offers regardless because they have precious little options if they don't?
