Doorman asking for a tip is uncommon so I wouldn't give one. Giving the mamasan a tip isn't customary so I wouldn't give one (unless she went way above and beyond her duty). Girl turns up her nose at my tip telling me she wants more 50 or 100k more -- I tell her take it or leave it.
But to make a scene over $1.50? If I were charged 450k instead of 350k I'd think something is not right. I'm going to follow this up on principle. But $1.50. Even if I thought something wasn't right, I'd question it but wouldn't take it any further. The next time I go to Classic, if I were charged 350k I would know that 350k is indeed the real price. If I'm charged 365k I'd know that 365k is the correct price and be glad that I didn't cause an embarrassing scene.
Hey, maybe $1.50 is more important than your time and making a scene in front of everyone. Good to see someone in Classic Hotel to be so principled!! Keep up the good fight!!
Seriously, what's the incentive to take $1.50 from every customer.
If the mamasan thinks you have no idea about the real price, why not demand 400k or 450k? Just needs to trick 1 customer rather than tricking 6 customers. Seems like a really stupid scam. Would be better to just give the customer 30k change from 400k rather than 50k and playing dumb if the customer questions it.

Lol. Don't shoot the messenger. I'm just here to provide info you are free to read or dismiss whatever you please.
The only reason I brought this up at all was because of some bros talking about variation in prices at Classic. I also know of two REAL scams being run at Classic (padded bill and door girl exit scam) so it made me very wary of any unusual price fluctuation.
At any rate. I agree let's move on. I have no interest in arguing about a moot point. Classic legitimately raised the rates to 365k. Case closed.
I'm in bangkok now anyhow.
