The odds are very good he was doing the following: Adding a new outlet for the tv requires he tap into the electrical system of the house. So he found an existing outlet and used that. He would have had to knock out a knockout panel in the outlet to run the new wire , to do this you literally bang a hammer on a scewdriver to knock out the sheet of metal. Then fish the wiring through the wall from the old box to the new box. Install a cable clamp, strip your new wires, pigtial them in with the existing wires, then re install the old outlet and put the coverplate back on. Agreed with other that you got overcharged, but I doubt he was loving around wasting time in the outlet box. Those can be a bitch to work in depending on size, how much and what type of wire is coming through them, and fishing stuff through the walls with only tiny access points can be very tedious.
