Yes, I can start a conversation with the cashier.

sure. Start with:

sak pase? - what's up?

kijan ou rele? - what's your name? (that'll be weird if cashier has a name tag) 

Ou gen yon bèl non. - you have a beautiful or unique name (if cashier has a name tag)

Kijan yo prononse non w? - How do you say your name?(if cashier has name tag)

Ki kote ou moun? - where are you from?

Ki kote ou lekòl? - which school do you go to?

(hold a veggie up and say:) Kijan ou rele sa an Kreyòl? - what do you call this vegetable in Creole?

But, before you start, make sure you enunciate your words clearly. Practice speaking with a friend to make sure that he/she can understand what you're saying.

Bòn chans - good luck!
