Look by the bathrooms.

There's a little space carved out of the convenience store to house the bathrooms; you suppose there could be a phone nestled back there as well, so you go to check it out. A large brown rat darts over your shoes as you turn the corner to see two battered doors, each depicting a stick-person, one of which wears a dress. Between the two is exactly what you needed: a filty, ancient, and probably unworking pay phone. Now all you need is money for the phone...oh, you don't have any? Well...

Go home and search the couch for loose change. Ask the cashier for a coin. Steal a pair of sunglasses, pretend to be blind, and take up panhandling.
