I don't know how many tshirts they gave out, but I am lead to believe it wasn't many. If someone freely out of their own good will helps you out, at your job! and you can only manage pony up $12.50 that is just an insult, I personally would prefer just a email of thanks than that!! Hell a case of beer maybe!!
