It breaks down transactions by payment type.  It'll say "£300 cards, £600 cash".  And if there's not £600 in the till, there's a problem.  Oddly enough, large EPOS systems have been subject to attempted fraud before.  The old favourite was getting a crooked till assistant to accept stolen cheques in exchange for cash from the till, which is the same route you're trying to use.

If we're playing pedant, "There are phone companies that do itemise cheap calls".  Vodafone do, for example: my bill is fully itemised, even though I make no off-contract calls.
