Cashier 50p

INT: NEWSAGENTS

A man approaches a female cashier and places various items on the counter. The cashier scans them through. The man hands over a note.

CASHIER: Would you like a bag?

MAN: No I’m alright cheers, just my fifty pence change please! (He smiles)

The cashier smiles politely back, while the till drawer opens.

CASHIER: (Looking at the till drawer, concerned) Oh… erm… sorry, I haven’t got 50p.

They lock eyes.

MAN: Excuse me?

CASHIER: Sorry, I haven’t got anything… haven’t any change in the till I’m afraid.

Cut to: An empty till.

Cut back.

MAN: Right. Erm…

The cashier shrugs and apologises casually again.

MAN: (Confused) Okay, well…

CASHIER: Sorry about that.

MAN: It’s alright… thanks anyway.

CASHIER: Bye, now.

Fade out.
