I'm assuming this is referencing "taking a pound of flesh" generally meaning to being cruel in demanding what you're owed (from Shakespeare Merchant of Venice). Presumably they're tired of unloading on people for not following thru or contributing. Doesn't seem like the best use here, particularly so indirectly.

You'd probably like the signs I do in Chicago.
"Terrible advice, only $3"
"Awkward smalltalk, only $2"
"Premium snowballs, only $1"
Will be doing one of these tomorrow in fact. Probably in my usual spot.
