when i was a letting agent, lots of people paid rent in cash, so there could be thousands in the cash till some evenings. it just became another admin thing.
that being said, i think there is a raw temptation to cash that doesn't exist with cards or other forms of payment. eg when my dad was a bank director, they had an issue where one of the clerks left £1k in cash on the desk. it disappeared.
next day the cleaner, who had been working there for 5 years and was scrupulously honest (she also cleaned my parents' house and never touched a penny), brought it back in. she was sobbing and said that they were terribly in debt and she just couldn't resist it. it was horribly sad.

she already lived in wythenshawe.
before this mess, her bf refurbished my beetle for me. i fucking loved that car. v much wish we hadn't sold it. but my dad got sick of pouring money into it. you need to be able to fix cars yourself to run one effectively, i reckon.
