If I were you, I will say "I only have a $20 bill. Is that okay?", or "Sorry, I don't have anything smaller". When you say "Do you have any change for $20", you are asking that person to break a $20 to spare changes or something smaller.
B仔 is right. It's about English usage in different places. Just like rubber/eraser, garbage bin/rubbish bin, flash light/torch
When you ask "do you have change for $15", he probably thought you want specific changes for the $15 (Let's say 1 $10, 1 loonie and 2 toonie). That's why he looked confused.
Like I said, for my previous cashier experience, no one asked me "do you have change for $20" unless they want to break the bill for bus or whatever. So I don't think it's the proper way to ask this question. |
