I have some coins I need to change.

Syd doesn't have any change for the parking meter, so she goes to a store nearby. However, the cashier refuses to give her change....

Syd:

Excuse me?

Cashier:

Yes, can I help you?

Syd:

Yes. I need to get some change for the parking meter. May I have change for a five dollar bill? I just need five dollars in quarters.

Cashier:

I'm sorry, but we're not allowed to give change.

Syd:

Oh. That's too bad! Is there a change machine somewhere around here?

Cashier:

There is one in the shopping mall across the street.

Syd:

Well, that's too far. I may have a ticket when I come back. What the heck....I'll buy a candy bar.
