Almost exact same happened to me: on my way home I agreed on a price, then as we arrived at the airport the taxi driver got mad (and asked if I was Russian :-).

I hadn't been so spesific though to point out that this was all dollars I had left.

It might be something that could be excused if it was applied slightly more evenly, like never knowing how much something's costs when you buy it because "taxes", even though that is the most dick move.

I can't imagine having a builder perform some tasks on my house, only for them to tell me afterwards that the price we agreed wasn't going to cover it because actually it's not enough to feed their family.
