4lb mash hammer and it's only 2 strikes lol

Maybe a quick spin in a bucket of water would lighten that hammer??

To be fair to the said tiler bit more than dot and dab if he has had to do them brick bond with a slight bow or lump in the wall he will use a lot of adhesive beyond a 10 mm trowels depth guess he didn't know when to say get it sorted before I start or charge to sort it doesn't mater where in the room you start so long as you mark out correctly and are confident your lines are spot on tad over kill adding latex plus to the adhesive makes it set way to fast on a warm day

I'm not sure I understand your post. Ate you making excuses for him? There's no excuse for spot fixing.
Whoever fixes their first tile without getting your levels and straight edges out??

I understand that you can start on any wall, but as mentioned you have to be dead certain on your levels, ie you can't have a massive gap above the bath which would look like an absolute pigs ear and beyond applying mastic or trying to cut a 14mm wide porcelain tile. This geezer did not have a scooby dooo. End of. Just pity his next customer who probably won't really know what he's about. No excuses for this guy.

Lol not making no excuses for him I spend a lot of time every year looking at jobs people have screwed up some that have cost 18 k to put right most down to the tilers starting something that should have been put right before attempting to tile plus employing a tiler on day work is never a good idea unless it's a complex job 99% of good tilers will give you a price but I guess like most trades now it really is pot luck unless they come recommended from someone reliable
