To add to this, back when I was a retail cashier in high school, there was also the threat of having too much money in the register. Either by negligence, due to miscounting a customer's change, or of outright malevolence (by doing the same). Before I even began training at the register, I was told by the store manager that if the cash in my drawer at the end of my shift was over the amount that the transaction history specified I should have (I believe this was > ~$5 lifetime? It's been a few years so I'm foggy as to the exact figure) that I would be let go.
Now, I don't mean to bring this up to debate the point one way or the other, just that it is yet another friction to managing cash as opposed to credit cards.
