Why closed registers need to stay closed

Where I work we do moneygram, we also do not have access to getting loans from a manager because I work at a post office, we have our exact float of small change and if i need to break a large bill i have to run over to the restaurant beside us to get it. we do this so that people don't assume we are a bank and have huge amounts of cash on us at all times. what we do is cut a check for the customer to go cash. every post office in the city does this unless they just happen to have the amount on hand.

the amount of people who get pissed off at me because i can hand over 1400$ is too damn high. why would you want to carry that mount of cash on you anyway.. fuck.

also I had one woman demand i give her cash back, which I don't do because again..I work at a post office, we don't do cash back... she goes on a rant that the whole reason i have a float is so that I can give cash back. I had to explain that the reason I have a float is because most people don't want to debit a single stamp so i need change to give people, and that i also don't have the function on my debit machine to do cash back. she of course assumed it was a conspiracy and i was just being a bitch, but whatever.
