Just got back from Santiago a couple weeks ago, and they are still there...dozens of them :) Luckily we were being met by Santiago Adventures so we never had to deal with them.
Here's a suggestion for dealing with anyone in a foreign language you don't understand:
I've got a small pad and pencil that I always carry. In each language I'll need, I have someone write down at the top of the page "Please write down how much money that is." After showing or discussing what I'm interested in, I hand them the pad and pencil. Prevents my misunderstanding a number I probably wouldn't recognize if they spoke it, and it makes for great reference at the end of the cab ride as you mentioned.
