Lighting in Video Store

I am shooting a scene that takes place inside a video store. Since all the overhead lights are flourescents, I am concerned they will clash with my Arri softbank IV light kit lights. Is there a trick with whitebalancing that would allow me to reduce the amount of greenish light that the flourescents produce. What about white balancing on a lime green card? Would doing something like this make the lighting on my actors look unnatural?

Thanks,

Mike
 
There are a couple things you could try. You can do as you suggested and white balance off of a Minus Green card (like the type WarmCards makes) or you could add a little plug green gel to your Arris and try to get them to match the fluorescents and then white balance off of a standard white card.
