First - do you think this client will be a long term client making you bags of money? If so, you could suck it up and add it to the next bill. You still get your money, and they walk away thinking they've had a win.
However, many clients are like kids - they'll test the boundaries and see what they can get away with without being pulled up. If you let these types of clients get away with too much they'll eat you alive.
In the long run the best way to treat clients is calmly, professionally, politely and most importantly firmly. Let your clients know that you have minimum charges for work up front.
