As for feedback on your accent, while you might not mind a random person walking by giving you feedback, it would be totally inappropriate. They would have no idea whether it would be helpful or not, which means they would be just rudely stopping a random person and telling them how to run their life. If you want to improve the tone at your company start a Toast Masters club. | |

As to whether it's my place, apparently not, even though I personally welcome feedback, and I often get (unsolicited) feedback about my accent (usually about how thick it is), albeit not from random people who overhear me speak, though I wouldn't make a fuss about that, because I abide by Crocker's Rules. | |
