In either scenario what would you do?

In the first scenario, there is not much you can do but be pissed off. I mean, if you're asking for tips, those seem optional to me. That's why it makes more sense to have all inclusive rates.
But if I did have a guy behave like scenario two, of course I'd be pissed. If I have a posted rate and then at the end of the session the guy tried to finagle a discount by offering a review or photos, well to me that's theft. Rates are posted. Don't show up if you can't pay them. You don't go through the session and then say, "I'm paying you less than you charge but it's OK because I am going to do some favor for you." Would he do that to his doctor, his lawyer, his hair dresser?
Furthermore, reviews should never be bartered for. That taints the process. The point of a review is to offer information to help fellow hobbyists make a decision, not to win favors or finagle discounts.
So did some jackass pull this crap recently?
