I wouldn't pursue it if they declined it. They will reach out to you if they reconsider what they are willing to pay.

Back when Intelli first got that awful pizza client, I was able to finagle $20 bonuses pretty regularly, sometimes up to $25. Then I got a new scheduler. She won't go higher than $8. I won't do them. Occasionally I get an email from her stating that I had done such and such location in the past and she was wondering if I could help out blah blah blah. I email back asking for $20, pointing out that I have never done them for less and won't. She emails back with a counter offer, sometimes $10-$13, that I won't accept. This has been going on for a couple of years, about once a month, sometimes more often. Hey, if she is addressing me by name in an email and asking me to do the shop, I am going to reply with my firm amount and not budge. I can't stand that pizza and will only do it for a reasonable profit. Screw that reimbursement only for chewy cardboard and bland sauce with not enough cheese or toppings.

Really? I can no longer tell if you're serious or not. For the sake of newbies, please clarify.

Ok. I'm not trying to be mean, but you obviously have no understanding of sarcasm so I'm going to give you a few hints how to figure it out.
First of all, I do this full time, and that requires good relationships with my clients. Now think about it like this. If you were a scheduler and the same guy emailed you 17 times asking for the same bonus on the same shop, would that annoy the living bejesus out of you? Yeah, thought so. Not a very good way to create a good relationship.
Second of all, 17 is a large and specific number. Ok, not in the relative scheme of things because there's an infinite number of larger numbers and only 16 smaller ones. But you get what I mean. Perhaps if I had used 4, a number that would be much more plausible, then there may be some reason to believe I was that specific for a reason. But 17? That's a number that is both specific, and not very believable.
Third, and most importantly, I was the person that typed it. A significant portion of what I type here is sarcasm. It's really easy to spot.
