One thing to remember... everyone wants their "money's worth"... and doesn't want to feel "taken advantage of"... and has to "at least win one negotiation item"
I've seen this sort of thing on a shoot I was on where the client insisted on saving money for lunch....not that we ate expensively for other clients, but there was some fresh salad,etc.... well, this client got a pile of sub sandwiches from the grocery store... needless to say the models were not happy after lunch.... and looked like it....
Your reputation depends on "great images"... just remember that somebody in the client's company in accounting may feel that their reputation depends on "great deals" and they may push very hard to keep that reputation.....
I did know one photographer who threw in a couple of random little automatic freakout things in estimates so that clients who had to "drive a hard bargain" would have something to complain about.... something he could afford to lose....
