Dialogue is a stumbling block for many writers.  Take a look at the following scenario and then write the dialogue:

You’re at the grocery store.  You’ve paid the bill, collected the groceries, put them in the car, and then having sat in the driving seat, realize that the bill was a little high for what you bought.  Checking the receipt you discover you were overcharged by $5 because of a double entry on one item.  You decide that $5 is $5 and it’s your $5 so you go back into the store to complain. 

Write the dialogue from the time you approach the store.
