Each Black Tile Worth $88.89?!

So we asked for a quote from our contractor about putting the black tiles into our foyer. He said it would cost $800 for what you see in the picture (plus two more black tiles to the left). So, did we pay that ridiculous price ($88.89 per black tile)? Nope, and we got emails telling our contractor we didn't want it. Looks like they put it in anyways. Gee, that was nice of them. I'm sure they will be looking for that dough when closing costs comes, yet all they will get is a nice framed copy of an email.
