@Sierra-J it's actually just slang
the speaker changes it to she, to give more personal feel to the sentence, even though it is neutral and she is not grammatically correct

that phrase asks if someone wants a receipt (a record of purchase) and "she will be alright" means "no, it's okay"

But why did the answer use 'she'? could you explain for me? i think 'it' is right. if i say "it will be alright", is it strange?
