It was originally to force the cashier to open the till.
Say an item was $20. If the customer paid with a $20 note, then the cashier could, intheory, pocket it, without it showing up on the rocords. If it was $19.99 they needed to open the till to get a cent out. This meant it was recorded, and so the till wouldn't balance.
correct answer (as far as my opinion is concerned without doing any actual research)
To be fair, my research is decades old at this point.
I appreciate that you recognise the pitfalls here.
In don't think you're wrong at all, and I'm sure as shit not putting in the effort to figure out if you're right or wrong, but if someone comes along with better/newer info, you have already recognized that the info you have might be outdated.
Kudos.
