have you ever been to moscow? then perhaps this will sound familiar to you:
one nice fine saturday afternoon, i was walking down a street in moscow city and passing a fruit stand, i really felt like some grapes. so there i go and ask the vendor-lady for some of her grapes.
yikes.
she starts screaming at me, for no reason whatsoever.
probably she didn't like the fact that i was interrupting her chat with a non-customer.
i mean, what WAS i thinking?! she ain't there to sell her stuff and make money, no no, just to chat of course.
that is what is commonly referred to as the friendliness of moscovites.

probably the seller wasn't a moscovite, don't you think so...
in addition, did you try to smile before making yr order and saying smth like - sorry for interruption but i would like to get this lovely apples/grapes.. that's helps, indeed..
coward, i know who you are!!!
and remember, in russia, you don't smile at strangers. if you do that, the russians think you are completely crazy.
but then again, i am crazy in russia...
