Understandably disappointing. Did you speak up?

I might have said something like, "You know what? That depressingly small amount isn't going to improve my life, so I rather you'd offer that coffee money to a 3rd world charity. That way, even though I haven't received fair value, I can at least feel valued by making a difference that shows."

Then get up and walk out.
