This definitely happens, but: 1) Mean or not he is inclined to sell things to you because as I believe he pockets the money.
2) If you're not happy you can go to the next car with its own conductor and buy something there :)
I'm surprised that you're so dependent on people speaking English. For most communications language is not essential. When we were in Turkey or Serbia, we definitely met people who didn't speak any language and we always got our job done, whatever it was. Maybe there's some block you have to overcome to go past the language?
