Helpfulness
This seems to be something fairly common in Uzbekistan. After I agreed on a price from Tashkent to Fergana (5000) which was written on a paper, and then on arrival I was told it was 8000. I refused, and a guy at my hotel translated the argument. I did end up paying 7000 in the end, as I just got too tired of arguing, and had no one on my side. Just be prepared for this type of thing and try not to give in like me. This 'change the price' game is a strange one indeed.
Fun Alternatives: At least write down the price ahead of time (though it didn't help in my case)
