You leave your poodle at a new grooming shop and tell them to wash the dog⎯a $30 service. They do that and also paint the poodle's nails and tie ribbons in his hair⎯these services are an extra $10. You pay them for the wash. What about the extra $10 in services?
A) an express contract existed; you must pay the $10
B) an implied contract existed; you must pay the $10
C) a quasi-contract existed; you must pay the $10
D) no contract for these services existed, no extra payment
E) the UCC would hold that no contract existed, so no payment

In this scenario, you only agreed to and thus contracted for the wash service. The additional services (painting the poodle's nails and tying ribbons in his hair) were not requested by you, and therefore, no express or implied contract existed for these extra services. Consequently, you are not obligated to pay the additional $10 for services you did not agree to.
