Dia daobh!

I have written a dialog to share with a friend for study purposes and I'm pretty sure there are mistakes plus some phrases I just don't know. I would appreciate some help from anyone in correcting my errors from anyone interested in offering input. Go raibh maith agat in advance!

Comhra

Person 1: Dia dhuit.
Siopadoir: Dia’s Muire dhuit!
P1: Cád é mar atá tú inniú?
S: Go maith, go raibh maith agat, Agus tú féin?
P1: Níl go dona, go raibh maith agat.
S: [How can I help you?]
P1: Téastaíonn rud éigin go lón. An bhfuil ceapairí agat?
S: Cinnte. Cén sort?
P1: Liamhás leis cáis.
S: Ceart go leor. Cé mhéad?
P1: [There are three of us, so 3 please]
S: Seo dhuit. Cad eile?

P1: Go raibh mile maith agat. Slán!
S: Tá failte romhat. Slán anois!
