1) There is nothing "wrong" with conventional oil. It simply won't last as long as synthetic.
2) I think you are dreaming if you want to pay 55 dollars for a synthetic oil change at a dealer.
3) There was clearly a misunderstanding between you and whomever you spoke with, but that doesn't mean they tried to screw you. It's always a good idea to have them write down your requests when you hand over your keys. I always have them write DO NOT WASH on any of my work orders.
4) Either do the oil change yourself, or bring your own oil in with you and have them put that in. They will only charge you the cost of labor and filter (unless you bring your own) which is about 25-30 dollars.

GT35R...take your car to West Covina Nissan. Tell them you are a forum member so you get a discount. They will give you a Motul oil change for $50 EVEN! They are fully insured so you can even WATCH them do your oil change!
I always tell people to go to WC Nissan...but for some reason the infiniti guys have not caught on as much as the 350z guys.
If Jeff Hess (Nismo / Nissan parts manager) is around, ask him to give you a tour of the place...you'll be impressed.

Dealership prices are a bit on the high side and they are what they are. You wanted to haggle the price cheaper, so maybe he gave you a price that met your requirement, but it wasn't what you wanted. You aren't' likely to get a dealership $55 synthetic oil change form Infiniti anywhere. Sucks that you got screwed by it. Next time you want a $55 synthetic oil change DIY or avoid the dealership at least. Not likely to happen there.

Synthetic can go much longer...even regular oil can go longer than 3500 miles..unless you're a taxi at least go 5K.
