     I have some coins I need to change.

Hear the storyline. 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.
