Ah, sorry. It doesn't accept the new banknotes, so let me exchange them for you over there.
Gesture & etiquette
Hold the bill or coin slightly in your hand to show the staff while gesturing toward the ticket machine.
Do not slam, hit, or force a crumpled bill into the ticket machine. Wait patiently if there's a queue behind you.
