So buy more packs of gum / cans of pop / whatever with your 20s and get 5s and singles? Back in the day, most banks would sell you a stack of 5s or singles, but most banks now will only do that for customers :\
I'm still not sure I get the need for so many cash tips, though. Hotel shuttle drivers, bell staff, housekeepers I get, but anywhere else you'd be tipping (restaurants and bars, basically) either takes plastic or will be happy to break bills for you at the till when you go to pay. Usually both. Your hotel should also be willing to give you change to tip their staff
