How it works
Repeating a word around 就 with final 吧 (贵就贵点儿吧) grudgingly accepts something one isn't fully happy about — "fine, if it's X then let it be X". It gives in to the situation.
Examples

Guì jiù guì diǎnr ba, wǒ hěn xǐhuan.
So it's a bit pricey, fine — I really like it.
累就累点儿吧，做完再休息。
Lèi jiù lèi diǎnr ba, zuò wán zài xiūxi.
A little tiring, so be it; rest after finishing.
晚就晚点儿吧，安全最重要。
Wǎn jiù wǎn diǎnr ba, ānquán zuì zhòngyào.
A bit late, never mind; safety matters most.
