No it doesn't. Shops pay transaction fees and pass that cost into all customers equally whether they're paying cash or card.

Taking physical cash, counting it, loss of cash through error or malace, buying change, physically banking it (taking it themselves or using a cash collection company) costs businesses too. So actually maybe they're passing on the cost of this rather than the transaction fees.
