While you may not have paid what you call a "ridiculous sum" for your bike, the majority of us here are spending that much on a bike.
IF you can carry a new tube, you can carry a patched tube. (BTW, sometimes new tubes fail)
Patch when convenient. Maybe when you have 2-3 to patch, or between TV commercials. Buff, watch, glue, watch, apply patch, watch.....
Else, what an arrogant & entitled POC.
