Actually, no. I never discuss money before offing, and I don't think it should be necessary to do so -- as long as the customer knows what is customary and expected.
If the boy's expectations lie outside of what is normal, it is his responsibility to mention it before going off. No one I have offed has ever done so, however, and I have rarely had anyone be unhappy with what I have offered. If they were, then it was their problem.
