One of the more egregious examples were the ways in which some shuls allocated kovods based on the $$ after the s’henadar in the m’sheberach. A poishete yid with a yahrtzeit might be fortunate to even get an alyiah, and might have to “settle” for hagbah/gallilah while a more affluent (but in many cases not an especially ehrliche) yid was assured of achron, achron chaviv.
