The Price List that is displayed by the Ministry of Railways on their Facebook page today, is Good. But it cannot affect the vendor. We cannot get even a coffee in a train at the correct price because if a vendor says Coffee ₹10/- and we show this and say ₹7/-, he moves away simply and again the victim is the passenger. All the passengers won't show him this and make him committed to ₹7/- a coffee. They buy it for ₹10/- as their need is more than anything in the world. This is a common passenger's weak point which is cashed by the vendors. Simple display of Rate Cards and writing warnings like "Tips Not Allowed" is not at all a solution as no vendor takes care of this. Please let us slap them instead, which is equally ridiculous.

problem is not about not having a coffee. It is about paying extra always in a train journey.
Why do I need to pay ₹10/- per coffee which actually costs ₹7/-?
Why should I pay full fare, sometimes special fare, premium fare, tatkal fare and premium tatkal fare, and get crushed in a sleeper coach by waitlisted passengers??
Why should stand in a general coach from BZA to SC in a general coach where my fellow people sit and travel with the same ticket just because they boarded first??
What's really happening to the value of my money?? Isn't it getting wasted??
Sometimes, even general ticket passengers irk sleeper coach passengers. We adjust because of our humanity or whatever feeling we may have, but what about our right?? The Railways says that some 43% of our ticket is borne by the system itself. But what about the value of our 57% that we contribute to the Railways?? These food expenses are another burden to the already blown out passenger.
I love Indian Railways, but these facts make an average passenger cry like anything on every train journey.
Don't allow general ticket and waitlisted passengers to board sleeper class coaches.
Set a limit to the number of general tickets issued at each station in each route depending on the number of seats you have every day.
Do not allow unauthorized vendors in the trains.
Make a plan so that we pay to Indian Railways directly instead of these vendors for whatever food we buy in a Station or in a Train.
These are a few thoughts I propose. Make as many reforms as possible to save the value of our money.
Thank You.

Well, if its a lone station and route, then it is fine. However, for stations like, say SC, there are trains which depart within a time frame of 5 mins and the routes are extremely congested. So, that idea doesn't workout.
As I mentioned above, increasing the coach capacity is the only way forward(as of now). LHB coaches are one such great idea. But the production is low and it will take at least 10-20 years to make every train LHBfied.
