Everyday English conversation about money

Can you break a twenty-dollar bill?

Jackie has a 20-dollar bill and wants to break it so that she may have some smaller bills and change for the laundry.

Cashier:

How can I help you, Miss?

Jackie:

Could you break a 20 for me?

Cashier:

Sure. How do you want it?

Jackie:

Could I have two 5's and the rest in ones?

Cashier:

Well, I have some 5's, but I don't have enough 1's. Are quarters fine with you?

Jackie:

Oh, that's even better! In that case, I won't have to worry about the small change for the laundry.

Cashier:

Here you go!

Jackie:

Thanks a million!
